Education is critical for kids as they are growing up to be adults and it is critical for us too as we want to grow more and more into the patterns of Jesus' life and relationships. As much as we wish it were true, we don't drift into maturity. In fact, unless we are intentional about growing in our love for God and others, we will find ourselves conforming to the patterns of self service and spiritual isolation. While each of us is ultimately responsible for our own growth, Monte Vista Chapel provides classes, workshops, engagement opportunities, and support groups to help us take next steps.For more information, click HERE to be redirected to our expanded Christian Education page where you can register for classes, workshops and events.CLASSES are usually between 6 and 12 weeks long and are designed to work are usually between 6 and 12 weeks long and are designed to work through a specific idea or concept.

The Space for God retreats last a few hours and are guided times of getting quiet and listening for the Holy Spirit.

She had surgery at UCSF on July 22 to biopsy lymph nodes.) The surgeon came out after 8 hours of operating time. The UCSF surgeon told me it was his most difficult case in the past 3 months, due to the scar tissue from previous surgeries. Scar tissue was attached to the bowel, and the bowel was attached to itself. He was able to remove tissue samples and lymph nodes for further testing. We won't know about the tissue and lymph nodes until pathology reviews them. She was able to come home on July 25...so very good to be home! Thank you all for praying...you can't imagine what it means to all of us! Now, to recover...again!

She had successful brain surgery followed by radiation and chemo. There were many complications but after 5 years she was declared a survivor in remission. Last November, at the age of 13 she experienced headaches and balance problems. They found a large mass and other spots in the cerebellum area. She had immediate brain surgery followed by chemo. She is suffering severe side effects from chemotherapy that was expected, but nonetheless very painful.) Ciara's transfusion went smoothly mostly because she slept through a majority of it with the help of Benedryl and Tylenol that they give her to prevent any adverse reactions. Thank goodness she did not have any of the possible reactions that could have happened, and we did not end up back in the hospital. We are hoping the IVIG now gives Ciara extra immunity to help until her body produces it on its own. We are so happy to see the peaceful, comfortable smile that is returning to Ciara's face as she gets stronger and heals. We are reminded to embrace even the simpliest of blessings. We greatly appreciate all the continued prayers. It seems like a long time since we have been "home" but we will make the best of our current home while Ciara recovers.

We're not too excited about that part, but glad the shots are over with for now. Her tummy has been a pin cushion from all the needles the last 3 weeks. Her arms will look like that too when we have to have a lot of blood work. Bev is a miracle! We are so grateful. What a strong beautiful spirit she has been blessed with. Her determined spirit helps to make all the difference. God working through her and in her keeps us grounded and humbled. Thank you for remembering us.

This type of cancer has no cure, but can potentially be managed with extended chemo after remission.) John is feeling a bit better. He is gaining some strength but still gets pretty tired if he does too much. He was able to practice with his quartet and we were able to take a trip to June Lake. John will be having a PET scan when we return on the 29th and then start another round of chemo on the following Monday. Thank you for always thinking of us and praying for us.

When: Wednesday evenings, 7-8:15 p.m. Where: South Education Building Activity Center Community-Wide Worship Night: Our worship nights often consist of a Community-Wide Worship. F2F is involved with approximately a dozen other youth ministries in the surrounding area. We come together on a regular basis with all of our students, to worship Jesus Christ corporately through prayer and music. Ministry, Missions & Events: High school students have the opportunity to get involved with their peers, community and missions in a variety of ways throughout the year. They can attend one of our many trips, Winter Camps, Lake Shasta House Boat trip, Guys-Only Retreat, Girls-Only Retreat, or one of our missions trips. Our missions trips go to Ensenada, Mexico, Tijuana, Mexico, and China, and we leave the door open to other countries. The students also have the chance to serve our local community during our Christmas projects. These trips are designed to enable students to build relationships with each other, have fun, and continue to learn and grow in their personal walks with Jesus Christ.

How awesome to know that hundreds of people are praying for the needs of the MVC families. If you would like to be added to the MVC E-mail Prayer Group, fill out this FORM.
