Unison
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass
against us.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory,
forever. Amen.

The amazing colors we have been experiencing announce the changing seasons and
the approach of Veteran's Day. Veteran's
Day, celebrating the end of World War I,
offers us the opportunity to honor all those
who have served our country in peace and
war and to thank them for their sacrifice.
This year you will have the opportunity to
send messages of love and hope to servicemen and women who are close to our
Mountain View community. Beginning
October 26th, in the Narthex, there will be
cards for you to sign as well as info on how
to write a brief, personal note. If your kids
would like, we also invite them to draw
pictures. Then, on Sunday, November 9th,
during each of the services, we will bless
these messages before sending them to
those who are serving now. Also, during
those services, we will be recognizing and
honoring all who have served our country. Help us to bring our support to people
who are serving our country.
Cooked salmon is available for purchase in
