ALERT Mailings

Each month, the First Presbyterian Church of Mt. Pleasant, Iowa mails out a newsletter to its members, friends, and those on the mailing list. The ALERT newsletter typically includes an article from Pastor Trey Hegar, announcements for upcoming events, updates from IowaWINS, and other church information like birthdays and anniversaries. Since the newsletter is such a big project, helping hands for the assembling process is always welcome. If you would like to help with the ALERT, please contact the office. 

Meals by Nutrimos

Meals by Nutrimos is a meal ministry that cooks and sells delicious, sizeable entrees to provide for the IowaWINs food pantry. The meal ministry also provides a 10% tithe to the ministries of the First Presbyterian Church of Mt. Pleasant, Iowa. With the growing meal ministry, Meals by Nutrimos is always looking for volunteers to help: whether that be food prep, cooking, kitchen clean up, or selling.

Re:Creation & Press On

Our Wednesday children's ministry, Re:Creation, and our youth ministry, Press On, are always looking for volunteers who love youth and children to help with the programs. From providing snacks/meals or helping with the activities, volunteering with Re:Creation and/or Press On is a great way to get involved with the church.

Buildings & Grounds 

It takes a lot to maintain a building, and the First Presbyterian Church of Mt. Pleasant, Iowa is no exception. In addition to serving on the Buildings & Grounds Committee, you can volunteer by helping water plants in the summer, participate in the Fall/Spring yard clean up, or help take care of the flowers/landscaping. If you are interested in helping out with any of these projects or getting involved, please contact the church office. 

Spaghetti Supper

Each year on the Wednesday evening before the Midwest Old Thresher's Reunion (the weekend before Labor Day), the First Presbyterian Church of Mt. Pleasant, Iowa hosts our Annual Spaghetti Supper. With typically around 700 dinners prepared and sold, this event requires a lot of volunteer help. If you are interested in volunteering for the Spaghetti Supper, please contact the church office. More information may be posted closer to the date. 

Give Back Day

Give Back Day is an annual event put together by the church's Mission Committee. Instead of a full Sunday Worship Service, members of the congregation are sent out into the community to do pre-determined jobs, such as raking leaves, cleaning gutters, preparing tie-blankets, and other various jobs. Give Back Day typically takes place in the fall, and more information will be provided closer to the day. If you are interested in volunteering for Give Back Day or have any questions, please contact the church office.
