No. 218 PRAYER OF CONFESSION (Unison) Forgive my sins, O Lord. The sins of my soul and the sins of my body. The sins I have done to please myself and the sins I have done to please others. Forgive those sins which I know and those which I know not. Forgive them all in your mercy, that I may share the hope of the prophets, the songs of the angels, and the wonder of the shepherds. Cleanse my soul that your son, when he comes, may find in me a dwelling place. SILENT CONFESSION ASSURANCE OF PARDON *THE APOSTLES’ CREED (Unison) I believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth: And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead and buried. He descended into hell. The third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body and the life everlasting. Amen. OLD TESTAMENT LESSON THE LORD’S PRAYER 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 debts as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever. Amen.

We will be signing up volunteers in January for an early February start date. The Presbyterian Coalition and the Episcopal Coalition will be building a new home in connection with Wells Fargo Bank. The home will be located in South Phoenix at 5228 S. 14th Street, near where we have built in the past. The home is three bedrooms and one level, and we will need your help on five work days joining in fellowship and work with the family and other Presbyterians. Look for Habitat at the Mission table in January! MOUNTAIN VIEW PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH invites you to join our community of Christ. NEW MEMBER SIGN-UPS TODAY through January 25 at the Membership Kiosk from 9:00-11:00 a.m. NEW MEMBER CLASS is Saturday, January 31, 9:00-11:15 a.m. In the EEC near playground. Presentation of New Members is Sunday, February 8. When signing the attendance pad, please indicate “Wish to Join” and include your contact information. Welcome!! BETH MOORE CLASSES BEGIN JANUARY 7 & 8 Believing God: Experiencing a Fresh Explosion of Faith by Beth Moore is based on Isaiah 43:10. Beth explores what it means not only "to believe in God" but "to believe Him." She encourages women to deepen their own trust in God and receive a fresh word from Him. This is a ten-week interactive study for women of all ages and uses a combination of workbook readings and exercises and video sessions. We will have two sessions of “Believing God” - Wednesday mornings, starting January 7th and led by Jody Howe—9:00-11:00 a.m. in the EEC; and Thursday evenings, beginning January 8th from 7:00-9:00 p.m. in the EEC and led by Beth Burton. Participant cost will be $20.00 to cover the cost of the workbooks. Please come join us for a thought-provoking, God-loving experience! ALL WEDNESDAY NIGHT ACTIVITIES RESUME JANUARY 7. JOIN US FOR DINNER, ADULT ED. AND CHILDREN’S/YOUTH ACTIVITIES! A Dramatic Presentation of the NIV Text at Mountain View Presbyterian Church On February 8th 2015, in all three Sanctuary services, we will be presenting the Gospel of Luke in dramatic format. It will be similar to the February 2014 presentation of Mark, and the 2013 presentation of John, in that we will present the NIV text in order, word for word. Except that Luke is much longer than Mark so, in February, the drama will focus on the ministry of Jesus prior to Holy Week, and the Holy Week drama will be presented at a later time. Also, Luke has many favorite, but long, teachings of Jesus, such as The Good Samaritan and The Prodigal Son. So for the Luke presentation it will be a combination of fully memorized drama plus readings of certain sections. Kay Randolph and Peter Flynn are again jointly directing this presentation. If you would like to view the John and Mark dramas then you can find the videos by searching for “Mountain View Presbyterian Gospel” on YouTube. MOUNTAIN VIEW COMMUNITY DIRECTORY What is the Mountain View Community Directory? You know that absolutely invaluable book that sits on your desk or is always in your purse? It’s the book you look up that member of the church family that you talked to in the courtyard, but their name fell out of your head. It’s the book where you look up a helper, a mission partner or a fellow team member. We are expanding the book to include all members of our Mountain View Community: Church Members, Associate Members, Family, Friends, Visitors, Winter Visitors, Families of Sunday Schoolers and Families of Youth Group Members. We want everyone to be in the directory so that it truly represents our Mountain View Community! Why are We Doing a New Directory Now? It has been a number of years since the directory was last published. We have many new members. Some of our dear friends have left us. Staff has changed. Children have grown up.
