Love Your Pastor!
October is a lot of things...Pumpkin Spice Lattés, bright yellow Aspen leaves, Halloween, and....Pastor Appreciation Month (we didn't make that one up...Google it!) This month-long observance gives church members an opportunity to acknowledge the spiritual, emotional, and practical support their pastors provide, offering encouragement and appreciation for their ministries. Pastoring is often a thankless job as they walk with families through the most difficult seasons of their lives, as well as some of their greatest joys. It's hard for them not to carry the weight of their flocks 24/7. Believe us, a little encouragement goes a long way!
So, what should you do? It's totally up to you how to "celebrate"... it can be something as simple as writing a note of appreciation to one of our pastors or something more involved like coordinating with friends to provide a homemade dinner or a night at the movies. Be creative! We know for sure that our pastors will appreciate any effort you make to love on them!

Trunk or Treat
Trunk or Treat is Friday, October 31st in the Hemphill Middle School parking lot. It's one of our largest outreaches of the year as we partner with Strasburg Schools and our pastors make an effort to meet each family as they line up and give them an invite to MVF. The Middle School lot will open at 5pm for cars to enter and decorate. Candy distribution begins at 6 pm and typically lasts about 1 to 1.5 hours. Approximately one million kids will pass by your trunk, so BYO candy and MVF will supplement whatever you bring. It's a super fun and busy night, but usually pretty chilly, so dress warm! PS: Costumes and fun trunks are encouraged!
You can let us know you (and your car!) are participating HERE. -
Baptism Classes
If you're thinking about being baptized, we have two upcoming short classes that will explain the meaning and significance of baptism and answer any questions you may have. Our children's class is Tuesday, November 4 at 6pm in our Balsam room. The teen/adult class follows right afterward at 7pm, also in the Balsam room. There's no need to sign up- just show up!

Infant Dedications
At MVF, we don't baptize babies. We dedicate them (and ourselves as we raise them) to the Lord. When you sign up to dedicate your baby, you'll come to a special pre-service meal and an elder will pray over your family. Then at the service, you'll come up on stage with your family and we'll have the dedication there with all of the families having children dedicated. It's a very sweet and special time, and you can sign up here.

What the Heck is Park Out/Sit In?
It's a simple kindness we practice at MVF to make our first time guests as comfortable as possible. We choose and remember to Park Farther Out in the parking lot (if you're physically able) so visitors and those needing a closer parking space can easily find one, and then Sit In, meaning you’d sit towards the center of the row in the auditorium to allow others to find seats more easily once the service has started and avoid the awkward "step over" as they try to move to seats in the center. Thanks for showing love by doing this!
