Lutheran Church of the Messiah

As of yesterday, no new bishop has been elected. By the end of the day today we will have a new bishop!

Dear God, with deep gratitude we thank you for those who guard, guide and serve our nation. Thank you for those who gave the last full measure of devotion by sa...crificing their lives to secure and safeguard our liberties. Bless their memory, as well as their family, friends and community who now enjoy the freedom for which they died. This we pray in the name of Jesus, even as we plead for peace and justice in our time. Amen. #MemorialDay See more

Due to some technical difficulties there will be no live stream this morning. Please follow the link below for the ELCA Worship from home bulletin for this week. Thank you and hope to see you next week! https://blogs.elca.org/worship/4179/

I will sing to the Lord as long as I live; I will sing praise to my God while I have being. -Psalm 104: 33

Calling all Grads! If you have not yet received your application for the Messiah scholarship please let Pastor or Jackie Sutherland know. Also, This year we are asking for a picture (and a short bio for high school and college so we know where you are headed to next!) to be sent to Pastor Marchese of all graduates! Pre-k through college! We want to celebrate all our grads!

This Sunday during our 8:00am service we are trying something new...Facebook Live! We understand that many people still feel more comfortable worshiping from home and we have been working on how to record services for those who can not join us. Bulletins will be available again in the bin outside or by looking on the website. Both options will be available Friday afternoon. If you can't make it at 8am no worries! It will be saved and posted here on Facebook and on the websi...te for you to watch when you want! We are going to continue to tweak our recording process, so feedback is welcome so that we can make it the best we can!

Tomorrow morning we begin regular worship again. Please remember to wear your mask and social distance. Services times and 8 and 9:30. These times have been chosen to give us enough time to clean between services, while also limiting the amount of time spent in the building to make sure we are limiting the spread. If the weather is nice we will hold service outside. We can take in all of God's creation and not have to sanitize afterword! ... As we go forward with services if you have any questions please feel free to email me. See everyone tomorrow! Pastor Marchese Ps. For those wondering: Amelia is staying home until she has a full run of shots. Don't worry you will get to meet her soon!
