18th Sunday after Pentecost

World Communion Sunday

“Therefore God also highly exalted him and gave him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bend, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” Philippians 2:9-11

You are invited to join us on World Communion Sunday for our 10:00 a.m. worship service, either in person or on Face Book.  The title of Susan Goe’s sermon is “We Are the Church, Together” (Matthew 21:23-32; Philippians 2:1-13).  The Sacrament of Holy Communion will be celebrated with Christians all around the world.  The Chancel Choir will sing “O Lord of Hosts.”  Hymns for the day include “All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name,” “Lord, We Have Come at Your Own Invitation,” and “Fairest Lord Jesus.”

  • THANK YOU!  THANK YOU!  Mountain View Elementary School is delighted with the generous donations you have so far given!  The nurse has told us we don’t need to give any more band aids at this time.  This month, let’s focus on children’s clothing:  underwear (sizes 6, 8, 10), sweatpants (6-8, 10-12), leggings, socks, no jeans, please.  Many children come to school without breakfast so snack items would be appreciated:  goldfish, granola bars, fruit bars, peanut butter or cheese and crackers.  No cookies, please.  Put donations in the gym bag with the Mountain View sign.  We do so appreciate your dedication to this mission!!
