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.

· The Table: A participatory worship experience concluding with the Words of Institution and a silent departure.

Good Friday Service
Join us for a moving and reflective Good Friday Service on April 3 at 6:30 PM as we remember the sacrifice of Christ on the cross.
This year’s service will feature a powerful presentation of John Rutter’s Requiem performed by the Mountain View Choir, offering beautiful and prayerful music that helps us enter into the solemn meaning of the day. The service will also include reflections on the Seven Last Words of Christ from the Cross, guiding us through the final moments of Jesus’ earthly life.
Easter Sunday
Celebrate the joy and hope of Easter at Mountain View Presbyterian Church! Join us as we gather to proclaim the good news that Christ is risen!
We will offer three worship services on Easter morning:
8:30 AM – Traditional Service
9:45 AM – Traditional Service (also livestreamed)
11:00 AM – Contemporary Service
Each service will include uplifting music, meaningful worship, and a message celebrating the resurrection of Jesus and the hope we have because of Him. Whether you prefer traditional hymns or contemporary worship, we invite you, your family, and your friends to come celebrate this glorious day with us.
Parent Dinner
Parenting is hard. And for many of us, it can feel overwhelming, confusing, or lonely. If you’ve ever wondered “Am I doing this right?”—you’re not alone.
This spring, our Family Ministries team is coming together to offer a grace-filled, biblical approach to parenting rooted in the heart of God. This series is designed for parents who love Jesus and want their homes to reflect His grace, but don’t always feel equipped for the day-to-day realities of raising kids.
Together, we’ll explore a grace-based blueprint for parenting—one that moves beyond fear, pressure, and behavior management and instead points us toward how God parents us.
Series Dates & Details
April 11 – Kickoff Dinner & Speaker (at the Furrier home)
April 25 & May 2 – Church Gatherings
6:00pm each night
Heavy appetizers provided
Teaching videos from a trusted grace-based parenting ministry
This series is for parents of kids at every stage—from toddlers to teens—who want encouragement, clarity, and practical tools grounded in Scripture.
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.
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.
Prayer Gathering
As our church walks through a season of transition and looks ahead to the calling of our next pastor, we invite you to join us for intentional times of prayer. These gatherings are a way for us to come together as a church family—seeking God’s guidance, wisdom, and peace as we move forward together.
We will gather on the second Tuesday of each month in Annex #101, with two opportunities to participate:
Midday Prayer: 11:00–11:45am
Evening Prayer: Soup at 5:30pm | Prayer from 6:00–6:45pm
Upcoming Dates:
March 10
April 8
May 12
June 9
When God’s people pray together, good things happen—sometimes quietly, sometimes powerfully, always faithfully. Come as you are, bring a friend, and let’s place this season in God’s hands.
Intergenerational Ladies' Tea
You’re invited to a delightful afternoon at our Intergenerational Ladies’ Tea! Join women and girls of all ages for a special gathering designed to bring generations together. This is the perfect event to invite your daughter, granddaughter, mother, neighbor, or friend to share in a sweet time of connection and conversation.
Enjoy light tea fare including tea sandwiches and treats as we gather for a classic fancy tea party—feel free to dress the part with your favorite dresses, hats, and gloves if you’d like to join in the fun!
The event will take place in Meredith Hall. There is no cost to attend, but please register in advance so we can plan for food and seating.
We can’t wait to share this charming afternoon together! 🫖🌸
