25 May The Shepherd’s Staff – June 2023

Blessings to all our Mt. Pleasant brothers and sisters in Christ from your elder team. We are excited about a couple of new ministries coming to Mt. Pleasant. We are starting a homeschool Co-op group in January of 2024, which will meet a couple of days during the week and offer multiple different types of classes for kids of different age ranges. We are hoping to hire a staff member this fall to fill this role, if you are interested, or know anyone who is, please direct them to one of the elders. We will be coming out soon with more information on this ministry.

We are sending elders and other members of our church to preach at some local churches that are currently without preachers. The large disaffiliation from the Methodist denomination has left some churches in our area without pastors. We are very blessed here at Mt. Pleasant, and we feel this is a way to share our talents and to minister to our local community, as well as potentially identify youth and other folks that may want to go into ministry.

We are also working with Felecia on a leadership book, to keep pertinent information readily available, and to give to new leaders appointed to committees and leadership roles in our church. We believe this will help us to function more smoothly in our church organization, and keep everyone informed of our roles, and using efficient processes. A big thanks to Felecia for her work on this!
