Mountainview Family, 

 

Certainly our Christmas Giving Tree is a little different this year. I want to show my appreciation to those of you who have made the effort to participate in practicing generosity this way. At this point we have 51 families and 170 kids our church family will help provide Christmas for. If you haven’t already “taken” some virtual tags, let me invite you to join us. It will take our entire church family to make Christmas for these families possible. You can access the Virtual Giving Tree at mvcclive.com.

 

Many of you responded to my email from last Friday and the announcement on Sunday with innovative questions about our Virtual Giving Tree. We’ve heard you and our team has made some changes to make it easier for you. 

 

If you would like to purchase items ONLINE after you grab tags from our virtual giving tree, please follow these instructions to have them DELIVERED DIRECTLY to Mountainview. 

 

1) When checking out, mark the item as a "gift". Then in the description box put your name and the gender/age of the child for which the gift is being purchased. For more than one gift, please specify gender and age for each item.

 

2) In the address area, write "MVCC Giving Tree", 1890 NE Cleveland Ave, Gresham, Or 97030

 

If you would prefer to go out and shop, the instructions remain the same as we stated before. Bring your new, unwrapped gift(s) to the church building. We will have a no-contact drive through drop off during these times:

  • Sunday 11/29         1:00 – 3:00pm

  • Wednesday 12/02   6:00 – 8:00pm

  • Sunday 12/06          1:00 – 3:00pm

  • Wednesday 12/09   6:00 – 8:00pm

 

Mountainview Kids Christmas Experience

Pastor Katie has prepared boxes filled with Christmas activities for you to do with your kids throughout December. Parents, you can pick up your family box this Sunday, November 29th between 1:00-3:00pm. Just drive through the portico in the front and someone will safely hand you your box. 

 

In addition to the Family Christmas Activities box, throughout the entire month of December, one of our Kids Ministry Leaders will be sharing a Christmas story with you. These stories will be available using the links below and our Mountainview Kids YOUTube channel. And that’s not all! Pastor Katie will also be sharing an advent reading every night using the links below. 

 

On Sunday, December 20th from 12:30-1:00pm, join our livestream for a little Christmas Party with Pastor Katie and friends. Get some hot chocolate and some plain white paper to make snowflakes together. 

 

Blessings, 

Pastor Tom
