OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD - Ministry Help Days
 
We know.... it's only October, but it's time again for us to roll up our sleeves and be Jesus with skin on!  Every year Mountain View takes part in Samaritan's Purse- Operation Christmas Child.  This year, R.E.A.L MVBC (that's you, ladies!!) will partner with AWANA giving them a hand with sorting and packing all our boxes. You will have two opportunities to help.
 
Thursday, November 2nd @ 2:00pm the lovely and gracious Stacey Powell will oversee the initial sorting of all collected items. If you would like to bring donations at that time, they would be very welcome. 
 
Wednesday November 8th @ 6pm (during AWANA), we will help the leaders and children pack up the boxes. 
 
Robbie, our AWANA Leader is requesting a head count for volunteers. Signup sheets for both days will be at the REAL MVBC table in the Multi-Purpose Room. If you can be at either or both dates, please sign up or contact anyone on the REAL Leadership team. Let’s help make a child’s Christmas special this year by introducing them to the Christ of Christmas!

“Jesus knows that His time with the disciples is drawing to an end. The final hours are upon Him. The enemy is on the way. It is time. Jesus knows He is about to speak – for the last time before His death – with His disciples. His heart aches for the pain they will endure for Him, for His name, for the gospel.” In His Last Words by Kim Erickson, we will do a verse by verse study of John 13-17 learning what words Jesus felt He had to impart to His disciples to prepare them for the journey ahead.
 
Please join us, starting Wednesday 13 Sep 2017, at 6:15pm for this 7-Week Study as we delve into Jesus’ final hours with His disciples.

Psalms: A 12 week Bible Study
 
The book of Psalms powerfully resonates with the whole spectrum of human emotions and experiences, resounding with heartfelt praise, humble confession, and honest lament.
This guide explains the biblical text with clarity and passion—exploring the Bible’s ability to transform our emotions and incline our hearts toward worship.
Over the course of 12 weeks, these studies explore books of the Bible and:

• Ask thoughtful questions to spur discussion
• Show how each passage unveils the gospel
• Tie the text in with the whole story of Scripture
• Illuminate the doctrines taught in each passage
• Invite you to discover practical implications
• Help you better understand and apply God’s Word

Ladies, do you leave church feeling like another Sunday has come and gone and you still don't know anyone? Do you have only acquaintances but no real friends? Knit Two together is a new fellowship group designed to join ladies together in friendship while working on crafts and having a good time together. Bring whatever craft or hobby you are working on or enjoy doing and join us for fun, conversation, and laughter. If you don't have a craft but would like to learn one, we'll teach you one! If you are not a crafter, feel free to come anyway! We'll be meeting on Thursday afternoons from 1:00-4:00, starting Sept. 22nd. For more information, contact Lola Snell at 517 279-7465.

Surrounded by endearing faces of babies and children, nearly 40 MVBC women gathered this past January to celebrate the sanctity of life. Through the powerful story of Abby Johnson, director of Houston’s Planned Parenthood, who crossed the line for life and became an advocate for the unborn child, and Linda Corn sharing her story and testimony of giving a child up for adoption, the women were reminded of God’s unfailing love and redemption.  Additionally, our women donated through Wal-Mart gift cards, over $400 to the Ogden Pregnancy Care Center.  What a beautiful expression and response from all who attended!

Here is the video of this fellowship time which includes our initial welcome, a few minutes of introduction by Tammy Weeks about the Ogden Pregnancy Care Center, and then Linda Corn's sharing.
