Exodus Class Begins

Join Pastor Lyn as she teaches from “Exodus.” This Bible Study will meet on Wednesdays, resuming January 8th, at 9:45AM in Meredith Hall. We will also livestream the study for those unable to attend in person.

Exodus is the story of God’s redemptive act with the people of Israel and for all of us. Moses is a powerful figure going from Egyptian prince to murderer and shepherd to leader of Israel at age 80. The story points to what is to come and who is to come---Jesus’ sacrifice and the redemption from sin for all of us.

GriefShare Begins

GriefShare Begins

A GriefShare support group is a safe, welcoming place where people understand the difficult emotions of grief. Through this 13-week session, you’ll discover what to expect in the days ahead and what’s “normal” in grief. Since there are no neat, orderly stages of grief, you’ll learn helpful ways of coping with grief, in all its unpredictability—and gain solid support each step of the way. GriefShare at Mountain View begins on Wednesday, January 15 at 5:00pm. Email Pastor Kirk at kirks@mtviewpres.org for more information.

Stitching Sisters

Stitching Sisters meets monthly on the third Monday to promote fellowship among women who machine sew or do hand needlework. A devotion is shared before we break for our own sack lunch. Personal projects are regularly in progress. Participation is encouraged in the design and construction of group projects, which are sewn by multiple members. These have included quilts and various home goods which are then offered for sale at the fundraiser in November. Sale money benefits the Women’s Ministries account for distribution to local and faraway missions.
