Serving
One Another
A "church" is a group of believers committed
to the Lord and each other. It is not the corporation, the "ministry
professionals," or the Sunday morning event. We want our primary
ministry to be person-to-person throughout the week, not just people
anonymously attending weekend events.
Prayer
& Care Ministry
Craig Jacobs
handles the prayer ministry at MountainView by leading our praise
and prayer time on Sunday mornings. Michelle Jacobs uses
email and telephone to encourage people during the week and get
information about special needs to the appropriate people. You can
contact Craig via email
with any prayer requests or questions.
In the middle of the week, Liam
Flett breaks up the busyness and distractions of our lives by
sending out the praises and prayer requests from previous Sunday,
plus any updates or additional requests, on email. Beneath those
items, he includes notices of upcoming events for the week and month.
If you have any prayer requests that you would like for Liam to
include in the mid-week reminder, please send them to him via
email.
Music
Ministry
Jacques Ford and Bjorn Jacobs, who are both Bible
college graduates, are our two key musicians and are accompanied
by other vocalists in leading our worship times together.
Children's
Church
Sue
Meyers and Bronwyn Hutchinson coordinate a number of
teachers who provide songs, activities and crafts, and teach God's
Word to the kids during the morning message.
Audio-Video
Ministry
Richard and Elmari Fernandes transport, set up, operate and
take down all sound and video equipment for our worship times each
week. This is a lot of wires and a lot of work.
Tea/Coffee
Ministry
Fellowship after our worship times together is an integral part
of our meetings as a church. Gavin and Debbie Carter provide
and set up the tea, coffee, and other goodies each week for these
special times.
Meals
Ministry
Dr. Mandy Thomson coordinates the provision of meals for
those who have been sick, in hospital, had a baby, moved residences,
or otherwise could use the help of the church in providing meals.
Primary
Youth - Fridays
Brent and Sue Meyers and Gavin and Hayley DeHaas lead
the youth every other Friday evening where the kids have games,
contests, a snack, and a good time learning God's Word.
Young
Adults - Fridays
Jacques Ford, Chad Hutchinson, Brad and Tanya Wilson, and
Richard and Elmari Fernandes oversee the gathering of teens
and young adults every other Friday night for fellowship, games,
activities, and a Bible study.
Cards
Ministry
Margaret Quayle has a list of everyone's birthdays and makes
sure everyone feels special by providing them with a card on their
week.
Special
Events
We have
special fun days together as a church, and sometimes we join other
churches for a volleyball tournament or a potjieskos competition,
and Wayne Hurley is the one who makes all of the arrangements
and gets people involved.
Church
Newsletter
Brian and Tami Roos put together a quarterly newsletter giving events
and missions updates as well as challenging us from God's Word.
We
try to keep Sunday, Monday, and Saturday evenings free for sanity
and time with family. Still, we pack a lot into a week, with studies
for men, ladies, couples, and teens.
