A cherished tradition continues! Monte Vista Grove was honored to welcome the Rose Queen and her Court last week as excitement builds for the upcoming Rose Parade. The Grove Choir filled the room with festive Christmas music, creating a joyful atmosphere as these remarkable young women were celebrated and awarded personal "blessings" for their hard-earned achievements at such an early age.

Isaiah 11:1-10
6 The wolf shall live with the lamb;
the leopard shall lie down with the kid;
the calf and the lion will feed together,
and a little child shall lead them.
7 The cow and the bear shall graze;
their young shall lie down together;
and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
8 The nursing child shall play over the hole of the asp,
and the weaned child shall put its hand on the adder’s den.
9 They will not hurt or destroy
on all my holy mountain,
for the earth will be full of the knowledge of the Lord
as the waters cover the sea.

The poet-prophet Isaiah imagines a time to come when there is, literally, no violence, no human brutality, no animal ferocity. It’s a time when all creation learns a new way of being led by “a little child” (v6). No wonder we associate this Advent passage with the coming of the infant Jesus.

Advent is a time to think out of the box, to reject the status quo, to yearn for a dramatically different world, and to pursue it. That is what is meant when we hear the Advent admonition, “Repent.”

We Need Your Help to Keep MVG Moving! 🚨

Our maintenance team relies on a truck to respond quickly to resident needs, support events, and transport essentials across our 13.5-acre campus.
But our faithful 1989 Toyota has reached the end of the road. Without a dependable replacement, our ability to serve residents safely and efficiently is at risk.

Goal: $30,000 for a gently used pickup truck.
Every gift—big or small—brings us closer to this urgent need.

Donate today and make a lasting impact: https://www.mvgh.org/

Together, we can keep Monte Vista Grove moving forward!

The Advent season spans the four weeks before Christmas, marked by a wreath with four candles—one for each week—as we reflect on the growing light of Christ. This year’s wreath is a cairn: a stack of stones used as a landmark or memorial. In Scripture, cairns mark moments of covenant and encounter with God. As we read today’s scripture, we’re invited to see in this pile of stones “the mountain of the Lord’s house.”

Isaiah 2:1-3
The word that Isaiah son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.

2 In days to come
the mountain of the Lord’s house
shall be established as the highest of the mountains
and shall be raised above the hills;
all the nations shall stream to it.
3 Many peoples shall come and say,
“Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,
to the house of the God of Jacob,
that he may teach us his ways
and that we may walk in his paths.”
For out of Zion shall go forth instruction
and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
