Word and Table

Mountainside observes the ordinance of Holy Communion on the first Sunday of every month. Our church observes an "open table" in that everyone is welcome to receive the Holy Eucharist. It is an intimate time to encounter Jesus at His table, remembering His sacrifice for our sins.

The Path Least Taken

The poem by Robert Frost titled The Road Not Taken opens like this: “Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, and sorry I could not travel both, and be one traveler, long I stood and looked down one as far as I could to where it bent in the undergrowth.” We make many decisions in life, looking down the paths before us as far as we can.
