Mt. Pisgah is a vibrant, friendly congregation that will celebrate 150 years of ministry and grace in a couple of years. An often-heard phrase at Mt. Pisgah is “blessed to be a blessing,” for we truly feel our church has been blessed, and we wish to extend that blessing to others.
Each Sunday morning there are two opportunities for worship: 8:00 and 10:30. Pastor Mike delivers the same message at both services; Holy Communion is also served every Sunday. Sunday School for everyone is between the two services.
A wide range of active committees and small groups keeps the schedule full. The variety of offerings makes it possible for all to find their niche. From working with our youth, participating in men’s or women’s Bible studies and fellowship, serving on committees and outreach, enjoying meals and social activities, singing in the choir, etc., there is a special place and opportunity for everyone to serve in our church family.
If you are looking for a caring community of believers for a church home, or if you are just visiting for the weekend, we extend a cordial invitation to Mt. Pisgah. We want all visitors, newcomers, and members to experience the graciousness of God in a welcoming community of faith where all can establish a meaningful relationship with Jesus Christ and with each other.

150thAnniversary Celebration--Call for Materials |

As many of you know plans are underway to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the founding of Mt. Pisgah Lutheran Church in 2009. It was on August 21, 1859 that Abraham Bolick gave one acre of land where the old Pisgah cemetery now stands for the use of "all Christian professions and Believers in Christ and also for school service." Out of that humble beginning, prior to the Civil War, has come our beloved congregation. The 150th anniversary committee is seeking material related to history of our congregation. If you have any old church directories, annual reports, copies of church constitutions, other documents, letters, photos, or other memorabilia that you would consider loaning or giving to the archives of the congregation, we would like to know about them. Please contact either, Bill Oelkers, Laurie Wegner, or Janice Simmons if you can help in this way. We plan to use the material to compile an updated and expanded history of the congregation and subsequently to begin to maintain a permanent congregational history archive. Thanks. History/Directory Subcommittee
150th Anniversary Committee

A Stone's Throw - May 2007 |

 What a blessed April we had and what an exciting May we have to look forward to together! God is good and life in Christ is exciting! In April, we were blessed with over 420 in Easter worship, 9 first communion children, a wedding, a baptism, and 4 young people confirmed. What a memorable month is was!
May is going to be a full, spirit-filled months as well with all sorts of blessings. Speaking of spirit-filled, on May 27th we celebrate Pentecost Sunday, when the Spirit was given to the church. (Be sure to wear red!) It is truly His spirit that inspires us in all that we do.
On May 13th we will give thanks to God for our mothers. We have a special service with a message and gifts for all the women of the church!
On May 20th, between services, we have a Congregational meeting and our Preschoolers will sing. This Sunday is our traditional God and Country Sunday when we remember those who have and continue to put themselves in harms way so that we might enjoy the freedoms we have today. We honor our military, as we have in the past, with the military services tribute and we will also honor all the firefighters, police officers and EMTs who continually rist their lives for the sake of others. Our guest speaker is former marine Jeff Huggins, who is Kelly Daughtrey's brother. We will have a covered dish reception after the 10:30 service, so bring a dish to share and invite someone from the military, police, firefighters or EMS to share the morning with us. The LR Brass Ensemble will be with us in worship as well.
In His Gracious Grip,
Pastor Mike

New Feature Added
We've just added a new feature to the site. Now you can attach your own comments/feedback to every article on the site.
If you're a registered member, the comments will be automatically posted with the article. If you're a guest, one of the site administrators will have to approve your comment before posting. (Sorry we have to do that, but the last public forum we had was overtaken by spam.)
Please feel free to add in your two cents -- to comment on an article, add information to the calendar, whatever. We're especially interested in fleshing out the history of the church. We would like to have it as complete as possible before our 150th anniversary in 2009!
