[Neighbors] Monte Vista Christian Church in the neighborhood

[Rev. Dr. Dawn Rosignol]

Dearest neighbors,

I'm writing to keep you updated about activities & offerings of our faith
community. Everything is always an open-invitation to all.

First, we continue to livestream all of our worship services as we have
been doing for about 2 years now. You can find them on our Facebook page (
https://www.facebook.com/montevistaabq) & on our YouTube channel (
https://www.montevista.org/vistastream).

We are having an in-person *World Communion Service* this Sunday outside in
our parking lot. You can read more about the service including all the
safety precautions here: event on Facebook

Following the World Communion Service, we'll be having a *Blessing of the
Animals* service, also outside in our parking lot. Again, you can read more
about it here: event on Facebook

We continue with our weekly *Children's Lessons* with introductions to each
lesson provided by our Children's Education Chairperson, Lisa O'Riley,
posted to our Youtube channel: Arts & the Bible for K-5 playlist
<https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhjWBwLXCv71XoVPQL8it2A-lzEyE4mGh>.
Lisa is a retired APS music teacher. The lesson packets are uploaded to our
website at: Vista Virtual Sunday School
<https://montevista.org/main.html?pgid=9&art_artcl_id=374>. Both are posted
every Friday morning & will remain available to you. Each biblical lesson
includes music, art, & activities for your child.

We also continue with our weekly *Youth Online Resources* provided by Rev.
Cristine Warring, a member of MVCC who is a high school math teacher. She
has worked with youth for 30 years as a teacher, youth pastor, & camp
counselor. You can access her weekly postings here: Vista Youth Online
Resources <https://montevista.org/main.html?pgid=47>.

Our online Book Study of Howard Zinn's "A People's History of the United
States" continues with weekly lectures posted each Wednesday morning and
the subsequent Sunday afternoon Zoom discussion group recordings all posted
here: Online Book Study
<https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhjWBwLXCv73tvEtPNwF3i-S_BCqKhwV6>.
If you would like to get in on the discussion, let me know so you can
receive the Zoom link. We spend about an hour together on Zoom each Sunday
afternoon beginning at 3:00pm. This Sunday we will be discussing chapter 11.

Please let me know if you have any questions or thoughts that you'd like to
share. Know that we keep you all in our prayers & are available to you as
we seek to further build relationships and meet people where they/you are
in life. If you have prayer concerns, know that you can share them with me
either in confidence or for our congregation's prayer list. If you would
like to visit with a pastor, know that I'm available to you. We know that
Covid is a persistent challenge to many and we want to help ease the pain
as much as possible.

Blessings,
Rev. Dawn
