To
our Mt. Pleasant Friends, Thank you very much for all your prayers,
concerns and cards during my illness. The cards have uplifted my
spirits and brightened my days as I face this valley in my life and the
prayers give me peace and comfort knowing that I am being lifted up to
God for his healing power. Please continue to pray for me as I continue
my treatments. We are blessed to have friends like you. May God bless
each of you.
Love in Christ, H.W. and Lorena Coble
SPECIAL
NOTE OF THANKS
I would like to say thank you to all the people that helped with VBS.
There were so many ''behind the scene" people that I feel it's
impossible to list them all. But to my family leaders: Leah and Justin
Mitchell, Debbie Black, Lori Smith, Paula Lineberry, Sharon Shoffner
and Karen Shue - Thank you so much for being there every night and
leading and caring for those children. To the market place workers: Pam
Sharpe, Luetishia Bradshaw, Ashley and Jessie, Janet Shoffner, and Nita
Dixon - thank you for leading the children in the crafts and playing
your role. Thank you to Judy and Janet Shoffner for registering the
children as they arrived and to Janice Shoffner for leading the
celebration every night and to Joyce for assisting her. Thank go to Pam
Sharpe for organizing the meals every night and to all those that
donated for the food or provided food. And I can't forget our Pharaoh
and his wife (literally and in Egypt), Sam and Joyce; and their guard
Cody Hollaway! Thank you to everyone that let us borrow tents also. It
took a lot of people to bring this together and pull it off and I truly
appreciate everyone!
Much love and appreciation to you all!

We
would like to thank our church family for the many cards, the calls,
the visits, the gifts to ministry, the flowers in Pete's honor, and
especially the prayers during Pete's illness. Please continue to keep
us in your prayers.

We
would like to give a
special thank
you to Kevin Lindley, our Duke Intern, for being in charge of our
worship service today and also thanks to his wife, Janie, for doing our
children's sermon today. Kevin has been with us since May 23 and this
is his last day with us at Mt. Pleasant. Both he and Janie have been a
great blessing to our church and have contributed so much to our church
during their stay with us. We will miss them both and hope they will
visit us in the future!
To Our Mt. Pleasant Friends, The
Youth Group would like to thank
everyone who helped make the retreat a success. Thanks to everyone who
donated tents
and a special thank you to Chuck and Nita Dickson for lending us their
expertise. It
was a great and glorious time.

Note of Thanks from Rev. Aaron Moss
To the congregation of Mt. Pleasant UMC, thank you for your gracious
gifts and for the beautiful plaque, which will be visible to all who
enter my home. Most of all thank you for such an outpouring of love on
Sunday, June 27. I was overwhelmed by it! You are such a wonderful
group of people. Words cannot express the depth of my gratitude to you
for the wonderful experience we shared for the past seven and one half
months. You will always be special to me!
Love, Aaron
Special
Thanks to July Fourth Event Volunteers
Thanks to everyone who helped to make possible our July Fourth event.
Special thanks to Tom Hollaway, our Council on Ministries chairperson,
who led this project. We would like to thank those who made monetary
donations, as well as our other members who donated signs, food,
balloons, and other materials needed for the event. The afternoon was a
great success, a lot of fun for everyone, and certainly helped to
welcome our new pastor and his family into our church and community.
Thanks to all those who attended!
Thank
You from Our New Pastor
Dear Church Family, On behalf of Sally, Alyssa, and I, let me express
my heartfelt thanks for the grand welcome with the 4th of July
celebration. It was a great day in worship with the welcoming ceremony
as well. Linda Isley and the PPR Committee have made us feel welcome
with a wonderful meal at her home. Janet Shoffner and the parsonage
committee have done a great job painting and working to prepare the
parsonage for our arrival.
Max and Joanne Clapp were very kind to show us around the area the day
after we arrived. Loberta Rush, one of the teachers during my Jamestown
Jr. High School days, brought albums so we could remember and have a
good laugh together.
While trying to greet everyone, I lost track of time, but Janet brought
me the last two hot dogs. The homemade ice cream and cookies were
amazing and it was a wonderful turnout. Thanks to all whose hard work
made this occasion very special for our family. God bless you!
Your pastor and friend, Rev. Chuck
Halipilias
A very special thank you to our
church family for the outpouring of love through your visits, calls,
cards, and food during this difficult time. God bless you all!!
Thanks again! David and Jean Watson
I want to thank everyone for
their prayers, thoughts, cards and calls during my mother's illness and
passing. It has been hard to be away from you all, but it is a
necessary evil. Please continue to pray for my Dad-he has a long road
ahead of him. My sisters and I will be there to get him through it.
Again, thank you so much and I will miss you!
With Love in Christ, Kristen Sizemore
I would like to thank my church
family for all the cards and the prayers during my recent illness.

Fishes
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.
