Revival Week at Mount Pleasant -- Dr. Chand!

This is Revival Week at Mount Pleasant. Services are Weds. - Friday, Oct. 3-5, at 7 p.m.
The speaker is Dr. Samuel Chand. You may remember when he was at Mount Pleasant in the past, his message deeply affected the children of our church .... they came down the aisle in droves. He mentioned that parents shouldn't stop them, afterall in the middle east, children are recruited for terrorism very early, so it's a blessing when children feel the pull of the Holy Spirit and respond!

Here are some links that provide more background about Dr. Chand.

Bishop's Charge: Meditate on Isaiah 61

Good afternoon Mount Pleasant!

I'm writing this between the 10:45 and Baptismal worship services ... Greetings from the Grand Fellowship Hall! Today Bishop Johnson told us to say "This is a new day and this is my time!"
He also instructed us to meditate on Isaiah 61 every day this week! Here is the link to this scripture online: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah+61

The full passage will be in the comment section so that you can see it directly.

Bishop went through the following scriptures:
Isaiah 65:24
Romans 6:6

He also reminded us to really use Romans 6:11: Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Bishop's topic was "The Law of the Spirit as it connects to the Law of Faith." He said that the "Law of faith is spiritual power and action given to every child of God based on the Word of God."

There is much, much, much more! Like his points about your faith and the will of God, correct confession of faith, having what you believe, and corresponding actions! Get the CD to review.

This is by no means a substitution for the full message, but hopefully it will encourage you to go back through your notes and/or listen to the CD!

Remember all of the announcements for the month that are in the Ministry Update (newsletter) and on the website. God Bless You, it's time to get ready for the Baptismal Service!

Hello in August! 34/39 mentioned in church today!

Greetings! This is being typed between 10:45 and Communion Service. It's been great seeing so many 34/39 members today. Did you enjoy seeing the announcements for the 34/39 blog in the Ministry Update and on screen in the Media Update? We thank the Administrative Office and the Media Ministry for making these announcements for us!

August is a light month at Mount Pleasant but there are still plenty of activities. Check your Ministry Update for announcements like the MasterLife Fellowship on Sat. August 18, the Womens' Craft Day Part II on Sat. Aug. 25, and more!
