MV Teens

Hello Maple View Family. 

We really kicked the year off the right way in January with our annual trip to TCTC (Tennessee Christian Teen Convention). It was an amazing weekend of spiritual growth and making memories that will last a lifetime. 

The snow has slowed down some of our activities, but we have continued to journey through the book of Acts for Sunday school, which we should be wrapping up in February if the weather permits. On Sunday nights we have been going through the Gospel of John, and it has been a great learning and growing journey for all of us. We have been doing a great series on feelings on Wednesday Nights called “In My Feelings”. Below are the small group guides for the two weeks we have done on Fear and Anger, and I’d encourage you all to look over those with your children.

February is shaping up to be a great month of learning and diving deeper into the word. We are looking to the future and future events as well, so please be on the lookout for more information on upcoming events like the Hunger Challenge on March 21st, our Move-Up Mixer on April 19th, Christian Acres Youth Rally on May 3rd, fundraiser events for mission trip with “Just Help One” this summer, and Christ In Youth, and more.

We are looking forward to, and praying for a great 2026 where we will see God move and lives changed. Please pray with us and for us. Thank you all for your continued support.

Sincerely,

Eric Vance, Associate Minister of Youth.

We welcome Rebecca Sawyers as our new Children’s Minister!

Here is a little info about her…

I was born and raised in Bluefield, VA and am very fortunate to be raising my own children in the house that I grew up in. I graduated from Graham High School in 2010 and wandered down several different career paths before finally becoming a certified medial coder in October 2019. I spent 7 years coding for a local medical clinic before deciding that I wanted to do something more with my life. In God’s perfect timing he opened every door and made it possible for me to accept the position of Children’s Minister here at Maple View.

I married my wonderful husband, Josh, on June 25, 2016. We were blessed with our beautiful boys Elijah and Corbin on August 1, 2017 and November 19, 2021, respectively. We had family ties to Maple View and began attending regularly sometime in 2021. I started volunteering with the Kids Ministry in 2023 and fell in love with it. I’m so grateful to be in a position now where I can fully devote myself to helping kids grow in their faith and discover how much Jesus loves them!

When I’m not in church you can find me spending time with my family or out and about at local antique shops looking for vintage trinkets and other neat, old things. I love to read, cook, paint and attend hockey games with my loved ones.

Here are a few things to look forward to…

Community outreach events such as the Easter Egg Hunt, A Summer Block Party and Fall Festival
