Rally Day

We will kick off our new Christian Education calendar year on Sunday, Sept. 7!
Jesus calls us not only to come and see the good news but to go and tell it. As we move into fall programming, we invite everyone to be part of our church family and experience God anew through worship, study, prayer, missions, music, stewardship, fellowship and spiritual growth rooted in this bold and joyful call. Ask yourself these questions: Where have you seen God at work at MPPC? Who has been a part of your faith formation? What and who is helping you grow closer to God and learn more about Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior? How is your relationship with Jesus deepening and growing? After answering these questions, GO and TELL someone your story!
Go and tell your friends and neighbors how God is at work in and through the people and the ministries at Mount Pleasant Presbyterian Church- and invite them to come worship and fellowship with us on Rally Day!
Rally Day is September 7
• 10am Worship in the sanctuary. Faith formation teachers, leaders and volunteers will be commissioned during this worship service as well.
• A Meal in the Fellowship Hall provided by the Breakfast Team (following worship)
• Ministry Fair in the Fellowship Hall

Is that accurate? Were there more incursions? What else is there to the story? Come hear what Shelby can tell us about this unseen threat.
