Dear Family and Friends of Mountainview,
From the Gray household, we wish you and yours a year of hope, renewal and all the grace of Christ desires to accomplish in and through you!

Within the life of our congregation, the Lord is putting into place key leadership and lay people who are committed to the full measure and ministry of the Gospel. And many of us forget more often than not that the Gospel and its ministry is especially for Christians -- although it is for those who are still without Christ and need to hear this good news of Christ’s redeeming grace (Eph.2:8-10).

I believe that 2012 will be a year of much hope for those who follow Christ with their whole hearts. Although skeptics might joke when something takes a long time that it's "slower than the second coming" of Christ, we are surely that much closer to His soon return during these latter days of the Kingdom. C.S. Lewis has said it well, that:


In anticipation of what this New Year holds for all of us, I pray that the eyes of your understanding will be ever illumined to look increasingly hopeful at the person of Christ (Eph.1:15-23). I pray that you will see your places and circumstances through the eternal lens, and see the Spirit's witness of the divinely-purposed good reason for the things happening in your life (Rom.8:28).

Sharing in this year of HOPE with you and yours!

Pastor Tom, Mrs. Caramel Gray and family
