The latest happenings for you & your family at MVPC
Caregiver Support Group
Are you a caregiver who feels overwhelmed, anxious, or isolated? Just know that you are not alone! We have a Caregivers Support Group, which meets monthly on the second Thursday. We are currently reading and discussing the book “Loving Someone Who Has Dementia” by Pauline Boss. If you are interested in attending or for more information, please email Pastor Lyn at lync@mtviewpres.org.
Seniors Lunch
’Tis the season for one of our favorite gatherings of the year! Join us on December 11 at 11:30am for our Seniors Christmas Lunch—a joyful, festive afternoon that always sells out quickly. Tickets are $20 each and will be available starting Sunday, November 16.
Come enjoy a wrapped ornament exchange, Christmas carols, a festive sweater competition, Christmas trivia, and a special performance and testimony from Heidi Hernandez on the harp (trust me, it’s as magical as it sounds).
We’ll share a classic Christmas turkey lunch featuring turkey, gravy, mashed potatoes, stuffing, green beans, salad, rolls, and dessert—because calories don’t count in December.
We can’t wait to celebrate the season with you!

Settle into the joy of the season with an afternoon of beautiful Christmas music! Join us for Sounds of the Season, a free concert featuring our incredibly talented Mountain View musicians.

Ruth Circle
We meet the third Tuesday of the month at 10:00 am in The Gathering Room September through May. In December we have a Christmas lunch in a member’s home. This year we have a two part focus for study: we spend time sharing to get to know each other better and we are studying Women of the Bible.
"What Can I Give to the King?"
Sunday, December 21 • 9:00AM & 10:30AM
Join us for a special morning of worship as our church family comes together for an all-church Christmas musical celebration. With music led by our choir and joyful participation from our kids, this service will center on the beautiful theme “What Can I Give to the King?”
Come be part of this meaningful, heartfelt morning as we prepare our hearts for Christmas and worship Christ our King together.
Christmas Eve Services
Our Christmas Eve Services times this year are 2PM, 4PM, and 6PM.
All three services are identical.
Book Circle
Book Circle discusses one book every month. We meet at 10:00 am on the second Monday of the month, September through June.
Stitching Sisters
Stitching Sisters meets monthly on the second Wednesday 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.
Hands for Mission
The Hands-for-Mission group knits and crochets blocks that are assembled into afghans, which are donated to a variety of charitable organizations throughout Arizona. We also provide baby blankets to veteran moms with babies. Meetings are held on the 2nd Monday of the month in the EEC room, between 1:00 and 3:00 pm. All supplies are provided by Women’s Ministries. Yarns and blocks are available in our cabinets in the EEC room for those who would like to knit, crochet and assemble afghans/blankets at home.
