First Sunday
You are all invited to a worship service at Mill Valley Ranch (MVR) on Sunday September 6 from 5pm-6pm.
Early in my time at MVR someone mentioned to me that they used to do something called First Sunday. On the first Sunday of every month, they would hold a service open to all MVR crew past and present. I loved the idea, and though it’s taken me a while to do so, I want to revive it.
I love the history that is attached to the ranch. I love the stories, the traditions, the testimonies of changed lives and the people that contributed along the way. My heart is to tap into anything that was a significant and positive part of ranch life previously - and reimagine it for now.
So, all Mill Valley people young and not so young, new or less new, please feel free to join me as we revamp this concept on September 6 in the recently named Bonnie Bartlett Cowboy Chapel.
I have chosen the 5-6pm time-slot so families can attend and so it might limit clashes with any other commitments you may have at your own church.
Come and worship with me at our first First Sunday. My heart is to do it on the first Sunday of every month going forward as was the tradition in the past.
To help with our planning, please RSVP by Friday September 4 using the link below so we can ensure we can accommodate everyone who is wanting to attend.

I would personally love to see you there and I can’t wait to worship with you all.
