Precept Ministries: You’re Invited

Cory Brown — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 16:00:21 +0000

We have a special educational ministry here at Mount Vernon. It is a Bible Study called Precept Upon Precept by Kay Arthur out of Precept Ministries International of Chattanooga, Tennessee. Our teacher is Angie Ferguson.

Dr. J. Vernon McGee further tells us, “If there ever was a time when believers needed to come together, it is today. Instead of chopping down each other, we need to draw together in love around the person of Christ. We need to study the Word of God together. God has something for a group that He will not give to just an individual. We are not to forsake assembling ourselves together (Hebrews 10:25). If you have a Bible Study at your church, be sure to go because there is a blessing for you there that you cannot get when you study the Bible by yourself.”

So we are inviting you to come and join us every Monday evening at 6:00 pm, starting Monday, September 20. This year we will be studying the Book of Hebrews Sept to Dec – Part 1 and Jan to May – Part 2.

If you have any questions our would like to sign up contact the church office at 304-757-9110

One Great Hour of Sharing

Cory Brown — Sun, 29 Aug 2010 16:00:34 +0000

During the entire month of August we will be collecting for the One Great Hour of Sharing. Monies from this offering will be used to help many in need all over the world. This year’s goal is $2010. We ask that you pray for what you will give.

To this date we have collected $2349. That is 17% over our goal.

Thank you so much!

Back to School Back to Backpacks

Cory Brown — Sun, 22 Aug 2010 13:15:11 +0000

It’s that time of year again! The time when kids head back to school and some kids need our help. We are asking that you bring your donations of backpack snacks so these kids don’t have to go hungry on the weekends.

Items you may donate are:

Small cereal boxes, juice pouches, fruit snacks, raisins, slim jims, small bags of chips, cereal/granola bars, pop tarts, rice crispy treats, fruit cups, pudding cups, mac n cheese cups (individual size), pasta and soup cups (microwavable, individual size).

Last year we helped feed over 40 kids each week.

WE NEED YOUR HELP to make this happen!

Donations can be brought to three collection points in the church. There will be a box in the vestibule of the historic sanctuary, in the new welcome center, and at the west entrance of the church.

This ministry continues throughout the entire school year. Please help us continue to help these kids.

Metamorphosis for College and Career Students at the Church

Cory Brown — Sat, 31 Jul 2010 16:00:06 +0000

Metamorphosis has ended for this year.

As you may have noticed

Cory Brown — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 14:03:14 +0000

Things are looking a little different here at Mount Vernon. We have recently opened our brand new sanctuary and while minor things are still being completed I have to say it is a beautiful addition to this historic Church. We hope that this new space will allow us to enhance your worship experience as well as provide the much needed room for many more to join us in experiencing the many wonders of our Lord and Savior.

Not only are we changing aspects of our physical space, but we have made a significant change to our virtual space. The website has been given a face lift and updated to be easier to navigate. There are a few features that are still coming and as with anything new not everything may be working as expected. If you experience any problems or feel something is missing please let us know by clicking here. We hope you enjoy your visits to the website. Please check back often for additional updates.
