Mt. Healthy Christian Church 170th Anniversary

Dear Friend,

You are cordially invited to celebrate with the members and friends of the Mt. Healthy Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) of Mt. Healthy, Ohio, a most special event in the 170 year history of the Mt. Healthy congregation.

On Sunday, October 11, 2009, at 2:00 o'clock in the afternoon, the Mt. Healthy congregation will dedicate an Ohio Historical marker celebrating a legacy of ministry and mission, honoring the founders and early leaders who established that legacy. In 1839, founding Pastor David S. Burnet established the church at Mt. Healthy (known as Mt. Pleasant at that time) with the collaboration of Restoration Movement leaders, including legendary Restoration Movement Evangelist Walter Scott. Pastor Burnet is the son of Isaac Burnet, who served as the first mayor of the city of Cincinnati.

The Reverend Amy Gopp, Executive Director of the Week of Compassion, Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) will address the congregation at 9:00 am and 10:45 am morning services in commemoration of the 170th Anniversary of the Mt. Healthy Christian Church, founded on October 10, 1839. The Mt. Healthy Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) has served as a model for global ministry and missions since Pastor Burnet first organized the church's mission of Christian service.

Dinner in Fellowship Hall will begin at 12:30 pm in honor of all those who presently serve as volunteers in the Mt. Healthy church, followed promptly by a program of dedication for the marker in the sanctuary.

Please celebrate with us this special occasion in the life of our congregation. You may R.S.V.P. at (513) 521-6029 or at mhcc@fuse.net.

The Mt. Healthy Christian Church (MHCC) 170th Anniversary Celebration Committee and members of the church look forward to sharing this day with you.

MHCC Church Historian and Celebration Committee Chairperson
