Welcome to Mt. Pisgah
We are a friendly, welcoming group of about 500 (and growing!) people who gather regularly to worship God and to help build God's kingdom on earth.
Written by David Land, Congregational President
Greetings from God's people in the name of our Risen Lord Jesus Christ! Mt Pisgah Lutheran is a grace-filled place where we worship God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and celebrate the Gift of His Holy Word. "Blessed to be a Blessing" is a theme often heard inside our walls. God's Holy Presence is surely felt here whenever His people are gathered in His name.
Two services are held each Sunday Morning at 8:00 and 10:30 with Sunday School between services. A wide variety of programs are available for our youth of all ages. Holy Communion is celebrated every Sunday at both services. Men's and Women's Bible study are both important parts of our Christian lives. Our Food Pantry recently celebrated its 25th anniversary of serving the people of Alexander County. Our Adult Choir praises God with the gift of music and presents a Cantata at Easter and Christmas. Wednesday Morning prayer is another special time celebrated in the Sanctuary from 7:00 until 7:30 am. Our Youth lead a Contemporary Service once a month at both services. Vacation Bible School, Mission trips, overnights at the church, Teens Encounter Christ, Kure Beach-our youth experience the opportunity to grow in their faith, to give back to the world and their neighbor, and to spread the Good News of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
Please join us in worship next Sunday. Our door is open for you to experience the Living Lord in a real and powerful way.
A Stone's Throw
Written by Pastor Mike Stone, June 2012
The months of summer are here! I hope that we all can enjoy this change of pace as an opportunity to “smell the roses” as well as to count our blessings.
As I take time to thank God for blessings, here are just a few:
Worship – wasn’t our God and Country Service inspiring! It is always a joy and inspiration to come to worship the Lord.
Fellowship—events like the Women’s Social, our Breakfast Club, Variety Show, and the Bible Study Banquet are all such blessings. These times of food, fellowship and laughter are a great gift.
Youth- with V.B.S. Coming very soon. Starting Sunday, June 24th. I am so grateful for so much participation. Please pray for the camps this summer as well.
Outreach—with Prison Ministry Habitat, Hospice, AA and Fund-raisers for youth Work-camp, Confirmation Camp, Golf Tournament and a yard sale for our youth.
It is great to be a Pastor of a church that knows what our mission is......
We are so Blessed…...to be a Blessing.
In His Gracious Grip,
Pastor Mike
Please keep the Blessed To Be a Blessing Campaign in your prayers—as the Council and Design Team will be working hard this summer on the plans generated from your input and meeting with the architect. Pray for plan “G”---God's Plan!
