Dear MCC Shine Volunteer,
You are amazing! We wanted to thank you for the time and effort you give to the Shine ministry at Mountain Christian Church. Most importantly, we wanted to let you know how God ministers through you! You are part of a body of believers who volunteer for Shine and together we have been able to touch the lives of teachers, staff, students and families of A. Montoya Elementary!
Here are just a few of the quotes from the recipients (we left the notes from the kids as written – very cute!)

“ Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” - Matthew 5:15-16
