Mountain View Baptist Church

Good morning and what a beautiful day the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it. Just giving praise for the sunshine, birds chirping, and our health and ability to walk this morning. We just want to give you an updated on our worship services. We will continue as we have with online worship. We’ve been blessed. We will continue to stream live on facebook and if you want to listen live, you may come to the church parking lot and tune your FM radio to 94.3. The recording of the service will be uploaded to our Church website, mvb-church.org, by 11:00 am. We just want you to know what a blessing to see you gather and how much it is appreciated to see the vehicles in the parking lot and watch you wave as you return home. God is good.
This Sunday, April 5 is Palm Sunday which commemorates Jesus triumphal entry into Jerusalem, an event where people waved palm branches and threw their coats on the ground as Jesus entered.
Matthew 5:16
let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.
We would like to show our love to the Hilltop Home for Adults by providing these saints with Easter blessings. We will be doing 8 ladies’ baskets, 6 men’s baskets , and a workers’ basket. Please bring items that you would enjoy receiving such as chocolate Easter bunnies, gum, homemade cards, etc.
If you have items that you would like to contribute for please bring them Sunday or drop off when you are out on an essential run. There will be baskets on tables in the front of the church that you will be able to drive up to and drop off your blessings on Sunday morning.
Also, we would like to extend this idea of blessing bags to our medical workers in our church. We would like to provide items that would be a blessing to them as they are on the front lines of providing care not just now but always. Items that would be appreciated would be quick snacks like snack bars, small bottle of lotion, hand sanitizer, mask (homemade or fine), gum, cards etc. Please submit names to David so we do not leave anyone out. 276.768.9839
