So, we are suspending all services, gatherings, meetings, studies, preschool, scouts and other gatherings at the church, through the end of March. We will continue to monitor the situation and make adjustments as may become necessary.

However, we are not suspending being the church. Remember, the church is not a building. It is not even meeting together on Sunday (but what a wonderful expression of being the church). It is what we do, day by day. We will have an online service at 10 am Sunday on Facebook Live (Join our Facebook group here). We will continue to pray for one another and will call out to God to guide us through the pandemic.

Here are some other ways to be the church:
-Call on those who live alone, to let them know they are not alone
-Offer to shop/pick up supplies for the most vulnerable among us.
-Donate to MUST ministries to feed those who are without resources or who may find themselves without a job. You can take your donation to MUST or may drop it by the church. Leave your gifts at the Fellowship Hall door. Send an email or make a call to let us know it is there. ( or 770-508-3409)
--Continue to send your tithes...by mail, through your bank's bill pay, or online at http://www.mvumc.org/resources/giving-donations/. The cost of being the church does not change.
-Let me know if I can be of help to you or if you know someone who has a need.we might be able to meet.

Don't forget about the matching grant. Pray! God is looking to do a mighty work here at the corner of Jamerson and Trickum Roads.

It is tempting when surrounded by the chaos and crisis to turn inward. That is not being the church. There is still much to be done. Opportunities abound. I am praying for you. I am praying for Mountain View Church. I am praying for the vulnerable and for those who do not believe they are at risk. Won't you join me? You are loved by our powerful God and by me.

Peace through Jesus.
