On July 4th we started collecting enough pennies - if laid end to end would equal a mile. It takes 84,480 pennies to make a mile. This mile of pennies would give us $844.80. We want to do this as a mission project from our church. A missionary spoke to the Faulkner Fellowship earlier this year. He devotes his time to helping children in Vietnam. The organization is called "Children of Vietnam." We'll gladly take dimes, nickels, quarters, and greenbacks as well as pennies. Thank you for your support!!

During these difficult times, many people have to decide whether to buy food or pay their bills or buy medicine. The Mt. Pleasant family has always been there to help those in need. I am asking those of you who can help me 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 vegetables or canned meats. dried beans, rice. any size zip-lock bags' and brown paper lunch bags.
 
These items will be bagged and delivered on a rotating basis to Greensboro Urban Ministry, Loaves & Fishes in Alamance County and the Liberty Association of Churches in Liberty.

"The Mission of Mt. Pleasant at Kimesville is to show the love of Christ to everyone, it is the church's intent to include all people and their needs in our mission, to follow Christ, to make disciples, and to minister to the needs of the church's membership, the community, and the world."
 
Thank you, Amy Faulkner

We have yet to name this special outreach program and would like for our members to come up with a suitable name, for example - Bread for the World or Loaves & Fishes, etc. We need a unique name for our own ministry. All entries need to be submitted to the church office by July 31 and the winner will receive a $50 gift certificate to the Cokesbury Christan Book Store.

I would like to thank Rev. Aaron Moss, Rachel and L.E. Wagoner and Steve and Faye Shoffner for volunteering their time on a very hot June 5th to help with Community Impact along with other United Methodists in the Greensboro District. We had over 500 volunteers for the mission event. I would also like to thank everyone who contributed monetary gifts to help pay freight for the Kenya meals and other expenses. We collected $104.
