OUR OUTREACH Jesus tells us that we are to reach out to others, spread the gospel, and show love and compassion to all. We try in a variety of ways to reach out to our community and world.
Home
	THE COMMUNITY GARDEN The Community Garden is located behind the church shed and is a part of the Equal Ground Community Gardens initiative that promotes the importance of allowing all people to grow their own food. The garden is maintained by residents of the community and produce from the gardens is available for use by members of the community. To learn more about becoming a volunteer or to learn more about what is available in the garden, contact us at contact@mppchurch.ca or find us on facebook at Mount Pleasant Presbyterian Church.
	WALK FOR ALZHEIMER’S Before amalgamating with Mount Pleasant, Knox Presbyterian Church used their coffee hour to collect donation for the Alzheimer’s Society’s Coffee Break. We have carried on this tradition, with money donated at coffee hour in the first half of the year going to sponsor our church members who participate in the Walk for Alzheimer’s. We are grateful to the Alzheimer’s Society for the care and services they offer to our senior members.
	OUR SPONSORED CHILD In the second half of the year, the money that is donated during our coffee hour supports our sponsored child in the developing world. Our focus over several decades has been on the survival, safety and education of girls. Our current sponsored child lives in the West Bank.
	COMMUNION SERVICES AND THE BRANT FOODBANK On the first Sunday of every month, those who are able are invited to bring donation for the Brant Foodbank. Also, the loose collection on all Communion Sundays is donated to a charity chosen by the Church Session.
	OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD Every November, as Christmas approaches, people are invited to prepare shoeboxes full of gifts to be sent to children in need around the world. This is a project run by Samaritan’s Purse.
	OUR CHURCH GROUNDS We have tried to make our church grounds a place of bounty, beauty, peace and memory with our Memorial Rose Garden and the Mount Pleasant Memorial Forest. We are grateful to the church members who so diligently maintain the grounds for the benefit of the community.
	OUR ELECTRIC CARILLON Our electric carillon plays every day at noon and at 7:00 p.m. The evening performance began in 2020 as a tribute to frontline workers during the Covid shutdown. At the request of the community, the carillon continues to play one song every evening to provide peace and solace to our village.
