The Matthew Bible study will be suspended for one week, but we will still meet on the 29th to devote ourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful (Colossians 4:2). Our gathering will be a time of prayer for Pastor Lyn, our world, our church, and all in need. We will worship with Scripture reading, prayer, storytelling, and music.

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.
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.
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.
