Hello Maple View Family, 

The month of November seemed to fly by, but you know what they say, “time flies when you’re having fun”. In November we finished our Wednesday series of “Gospel-Centered Life”, and afterwards finished up with a fun Wednesday night of watching OG Grinch and playing Trivia. Our Wednesday nights in December are a bit all-over the place, but will grow our youth as they service the community through helping with the Children's Christmas Project, participating in the Bluefield Christmas Parade, and Caroling.

Sunday’s have seen us continue through the “Book of Acts” for Sunday School, which I am proud to announce Danny and Barbara Hazelwood have been joining us for.

On Sunday nights we have continued our journey through “The Gospel of John”, even going off campus one night to study at Dairy Queen.

Our youth have been involved in the church as well, helping with food packing for Heaven Sent Ministries, decorating the church for Christmas, and were heavily involved in all aspects of Family Sunday. 

We are excited for the future of the MV Teens group and many great things to come in 2026. Our youth are not the future of the church, they are the present of the church who will some day disciple the future of the church.

Thank you for entrusting a small part of your children's spiritual lives to us. Great things are happening and God is moving in MV Teens and all of Maple View. The future is bright for 2026 and beyond.

Sincerely,

Eric Vance

Associate Minister of Youth.

Thank you for helping package food for Heaven Sent Ministries (HUNGER CHALLENGE) this month.

These are some things Heaven Sent Ministries focus on:

HUNGER RELIEF - Every day, thousands of people die of starvation and hunger-related causes. For twenty-four years, HSM has been unwaveringly committed to feeding hungry and starving people in the United States and around the world.

DISASTER RELIEF - HSM has a long history of partnering with other ministries to serve in the wake of natural disasters. But in 2024, we officially launched our disaster relief ministry. Our goal is to be ready when disaster strikes.

DISCIPLESHIP - Discipleship is an integral part of HSM. Our heart is to see people come to know Christ and grow in His likeness. It is a passion that fuels all of our work and further manifests itself in creating discipleship resources, including the Disciple Life Podcast.
