From the Pastor’s

Heart

A QUARTERLY PUBLICATION OF MOUNT VERNON BAPTIST CHURCH

Fall, 2015

In our culture, notoriety is given to the rich and famous. We enjoy talking about the influential or powerful people we know. From Jesus’ birth to His sacrificial death, He went about touching the needy. Last year, we had the joy of sharing prepackaged food with the needy near our church building. This year we will be sharing food gift cards starting from our church doors. Let’s be praying about people who serve in businesses near our location who are underpaid. They may come from other parts of our city and serve us, without ever being thanked or appreciated. Jesus targeted people who He knew would respond. Pray for God’s wisdom and be ready to bless others!

Pastor Shannon

Last year Mission Raleigh was enabled

to provide Thanksgiving and Christmas

assistance to over 100 families through

support and generosity of our Church

family. Our goal this year is to be able to

meet or exceed that performance.

We are praying our members will step

up to the challenge again this year to make

Thanksgiving and Christmas a Joyful

Experience for the needy families and

children in the communities we serve.

Your support will enable our Team to

provide food and Christmas items for our

Food Pantry patrons and the Oaks

Community children and families we

serve.

Our Donation containers are located in

both the Welcome Center and the office

Lobby area or you may place your dona-

tion in the offering plate. Checks may be

made to MVBC with “Mission Raleigh”

designated in the “For” space.

Please join us in the effort to make this

holiday season a time of joy for all the

folks Mission Raleigh serves.

Questions can be directed to

Dan Thurston, John Ricard or

Connie Batchelor.
