The Gallagher Adventure

Alexis Joy from 2000

Emma Grace from 2003

Since the technology around us changes constantly, we our doing our best to use technology to spread the message of Jesus. As a result of this effort, the Mount Pleasant Church of Christ has gone to Facebook. Click here for the link.

If you are registered on Facebook, you can become a fan of our congregation. Lord willing, we will reach an entire avenue through this effort.

Also, you can add me if you see fit. You cannot become a fan of me yet, but I can be your friend. (ahhhhhhhhhhhh, how nice) Click here for my link.

See you on Facebook!

As many of you know, our congregation has worshipped in the local Holiday Inn for the past 3 years. In a few months we will transition from the Holiday Inn to our new home. We have purchased a building and three acres of land in the geographical center of Mount Pleasant.

Here is a quick picture of our new home:

I will write more on Monday or Tuesday, for now there is work to do!

What do Alexis Gallagher, Kevin Costner and Ivana Baquero have in common?

Are you still thinking?

Well, here is the answer…They are all in the same movie! Over the past few days I have been at the filming of a new movie called, “The New Daughter.”

Alexis got chosen to be an extra in the movie by her elementary school drama teacher. How cool is that!? Yeah, she is just a normal school kid walking through scenes in the movie, but a Gallagher has now been in a movie.

We will send out autographed copies for anyone interested! Who needs Kevin Costner’s autograph when you have Alexis Gallagher!

Is today Tuesday? If so, what happened to Friday and Saturday? I remember Sunday because I preached a powerful and fulfilling message converting 10,000 souls in a brief 20 minutes. Oh, wait…..that was the dream I had on Saturday night going into Sunday morning, my fault; but I do remember Sunday. Monday was sometime before today, but it went so fast I cannot believe I missed it.

Time faster and busy time is faster, but God’s time is always right. For the past month the congregation in Mount Pleasant has continually worked to take advantage of an opportunity presented to us. As I mentioned many posts ago, our congregation has an opportunity to purchase a building and the time is at hand.

Continue to keep us in your prayers! If you are interested in knowing more, please contact me.

Below is a letter we are sending to various congregations:

_________________________________

Greetings brothers and sisters in Christ!

It is with much joy we write to this letter to you. Our joy is founded in the grace of the Lord and in an opportunity God has brought to our congregation.

For the past four and a half years, the Mount Pleasant congregation has been without a permanent home. Since beginning in 2003, when a small group of Christians decided to begin a congregation in Mount Pleasant, the congregation has met in rented facilities: a community clubhouse, an automobile tire store and currently in the Holiday Inn.

Recently, two Baptist churches merged and a door has been opened to purchase the unoccupied building and a three (3) acre tract of land.

Our current financial situation regarding the building purchase is as follows:

In discussions with the Baptist church selling the property, they have requested a $300,000 down payment and they will finance the remaining balance for fourteen and a half (14.5) years at 0% interest. Of the $300,000 down payment, over 90% of our congregational membership (20 families) has pledged approximately $127,000. We are asking other congregations to consider supporting us with the down payment if they find our church-planting mission worthy.

Attached to this letter is a more complete description of our congregation and our opportunity.

If you would like more information or have questions, you may contact the church office by calling (843) 364-8302 or email at office@mtpchurch.org

On behalf of the congregation,

Chris Gallagher

(Minister)
