Service

This Saturday we have a wonderful opportunity to give some service. We, along with the Young Men, will be doing some volunteer work at the D.I. Working at the D.I. is always a lot of fun and rewarding too!! If you're interested in going we will be meeting at the church this Saturday morning at 8:15. We are scheduled to work from 9-11:30 and then the D.I. will feed us lunch. We should be back in M.V. between 12:30 and 1:00. Looking forward to seeing a lot of smiling faces on Saturday!!

Tis The Season...

For beautiful Christmas lights!!!

This week everyone is in for a real treat! We will be heading to Alta Loma (where I grew up!!) to walk Thoroughbred Street. Literally every house on this street is completely decked out in lights and decorations, it is quite the sight to be seen, I promise!! We will be meeting SUPER early so we aren't out all night. We will meet at the church at 5:30 p.m. so we can leave by no later than 5:45. Please eat dinner ahead of time because we won't be stopping for food, but we might grab a quick treat afterwards! Please wear shoes comfortable for walking and bundle up because it will be cold!! I can't wait for all of you to see this!
