Sunday Breakfast For Our Youth
Every Sunday morning at 9:30 am our Youth meet
at the Fellowship Hall for breakfast, music with our Youth Praise Band, and a
lesson. We would like to continue this program, but need volunteers for help
with providing the breakfast. There is a sign up sheet on the hall bulletin
board, if you would like to get involved in this worthwhile program. Contact
Sandy Hollaway at 565-0302 for details. We need volunteers for the
month of February. Thanks so much to all those members who have recently
provided breakfasts for our youth!
February Newsletter Winner
Congratulations
to Sarah Shoffner for being the first to call in the answers for the
children's puzzle in the February newsletter.
A
new Facebook "social network" account has recently been set up for
members of Mt. Pleasant and was sanctioned by those attending the
recent Charge Conference. Think about Facebooking as another way to
shorten the "grapevine" and as a way to fellowship by cyberspace. I
guess that's what we've come to in this modern age. When I
joined the Church's Facebook, I became the 36th member. It looks like
most of the members are active at Mt. Pleasant. If you join, I'm sure
there are others in the church that you will want to invite into this
21st century fellowship. If you aren't interested, just ignore the
invitation and there will be no hard feelings! Obviously, getting to
know each other better will allow us to assist each other better and
pray more fervently as special physical, emotional, and spiritual needs
become known. I see Facebook as another way to follow the Biblical
admonition to "forsake not the assembling of yourselves together" and
as a tool to facilitate spiritual bonding as we get closer to the last
days of this spiritual age.

Mt. Pleasant Cupboard of Care
During these difficult times, many people have to decide whether to buy food, pay bills or buy medicine. The Mt.
Pleasant family has always been there to help those in need.
We
are asking those of you who can help, to provide food for people in
Guilford, Alamance, and Randolph Counties in a very simple way.
There is a table in the Narthex where every week, you may place ONE of the following items: cereal, oatmeal, canned meats or vegetables, dried beans, any size zip-lock bags, brown paper lunch bags. Thanks to all those members who have contributed and continue to contribute to this very important outreach program!

this program began last year, members of our church have contributed
over 150 bags of items to needy people in Guilford, Alamance, and
Randolph Counties.
