Dear Mount Pleasant Family & Friends,
Greetings in the name of Christ, I wanted to take a
minute to write and share some important information with you.
At Mount Pleasant Christian Church we operate on a fiscal
year that runs from July 1 to June 30. That means we’re just a little more than
2 months into the 2014/2015 fiscal year. Because the fiscal year starts in the
middle of the summer we always start a little slow with our giving and this
year has been no different. Financially we are in very good shape with regard
to our income verses expenses but after the first 10 weeks of the fiscal year
we are $122,218.45 behind in our general fund giving. Now, again, because of
the way we manage God’s money we are not in any trouble with regard to our
income verses expenses. However, if we continue at this pace it will ultimately
effect our ministry commitments on some level. So I’m writing, first, to inform
you and second, to challenge you to help us remove this deficit so our ability
to operate our local ministry and support our global partners will not be in
jeopardy. I am deeply thankful for all the generous people who support the
ministry of MPCC and I trust that God will continue to provide-but sometimes we
just need to be reminded of the need.
One of the best things Sandy and I have ever done with
regard to our stewardship is make our giving automatic. I’m out of the pulpit
anywhere from 8 to 12 weekends a year but we continue to give every weekend
even when we’re gone. You can learn more about that by contacting the church
and asking for information. Our online giving is available 24 hours a day, 7
days a week. Just log onto www.mpcc.info to learn more. And, as you know, each
week we have a time of offering in each of our services.
Thanks in advance for your help in removing this deficit.
Please continue to pray each day for the ministry and impact of Mount Pleasant
Christian Church both locally and globally as we strive to change the world one
life, one family, one opportunity at a time.
Jesus cares,
Pastor Chris
