Mother’s Day May 10th
THE MOUNTAIN VIEW MESSENGER Edition 4, Vol. 5
May, 2026 FROM PASTOR LAURA Welcome to May 2026 Mountain View Family
As May arrives, the flowers bloom with many different colors, and I am reminded of the term, April showers bring May flowers. Also, there is old foliage that stays connected, which needs to be trimmed back for full growth potential. Our congregation had a Spring workday, and we had a great turnout of members who were the hands and feet of Jesus, trimming back all the old foliage and preparing for the new. We, too, have old growth that needs to be pruned for us to grow into our full potential that God desires for His glory! May we all spring into a better version through being in His Word, prayer, and fellowship. Holy Week and Easter Sunday were special times at Mountain View. Following a Palm Sunday celebration where we had three baptisms and eight people join our Mountain View family, we continued the following weekend with a community-wide Easter Egg Hunt. We came together on Good Friday for a Tenebrae service, a service of darkness to prepare our hearts for Jesus’s continued journey to the cross. Easter Sunday was a celebration of what Jesus accomplished for each one of us and His devotion to the Father. We continue to celebrate that He is Risen, He is risen indeed! Our congregation is growing together in discipleship through a new Bible Study on Wednesday evenings. Additionally, our youth are meeting and studying together to grow in their Christian faith and understand their Methodist roots. As we continue to greet new faces and enjoy deepening fellowship, we remain steadfast in God’s Word. Let us continue to lean into God’s direction and trust in the movement of the Holy Spirit who is working through us. We invite you to come and join us for worship and ministry gatherings at Mountain View Global Methodist Church, where our mission is to make disciples who fuel faith, build foundations, and embody Jesus Christ in the world. “He removes every branch in me that bears no fruit. Every branch that bears fruit he prunes to make it bear more fruit.” John 15:2
