Ministries

Guardian Angels  

The Guardian Angels are the women’s group of Mt. Pleasant. Our  purpose is to be a help in the church and our community. We assist the  church in planning activities such as the chicken barbecue, Easter  breakfast, funeral dinners, or meals to assist a member in need. The  women of Mt. Pleasant do communion preparation, care for altar, and  regularly mail greeting cards to others. 

We meet the 3rd Sunday following  church and fellowship. We provide financial support to world hunger as  well as to area organizations and/or individuals who need assistance.  

Basically, we are, as the name implies, guardian angels looking out for  others!  

Bible Study

Thursday Bible Study Every Thursday afternoon members and friends of Mt Pleasant, St Mark’s Albion and Emmanuel LaOtto meet at St Mark’s at 1pm for a study. Topics range from an in-depth study of a book of the Bible to current issues like refugees, sexuality, forgiveness, grace or a comparative study of people of faith who are not Lutherans. Usually lasting an hour and a half, this is a group that really likes to learn.

Community Outreach & Support

Mt Pleasant is dedicated to reach out with compassion and concern to our neighbors. In October, we host a pet blessing with St Mark’s, Albion. On Christmas Day, we offer a family meal for those who have no place to celebrate. There is an Easter Egg Hunt for children of the community. Throughout the year, we help feed the Kendallville neighborhood around the Apple Tree Center on Tuesdays and give financial support to Apple Tree as well as help fill the blessing box there. We are always looking for ways to make the Gospel come alive to meet the needs of our neighbors. We welcome any ideas to help.
