REGATHERING on SUNDAY!
We are so excited for our first regathering service on Sunday, June 14 at 8:30am. Have you reserved your spot? If not, RSVP HERE!

You may bring a chair to sit on the lawn OR you may stay in your car and hear the message on a special FM channel. Click here for all the details about what to expect. We can't wait to see your faces (even with masks on)!
Worship on Sunday, June 14. You have three options - Drive In, On the Lawn or Online. Pastor Bob will share his message, "Homecoming" at the service on the lawn. If you worship online, you will see a special message from Pastor Steve Bieghler from Lamb of God Lutheran Church. Pastor Bob's message on the lawn will be recorded and available to watch online by Sunday afternoon. We still have Kids and Jr. High messages online. It's all on our Worship Now page .
DON'T MISS OUT! SEND YOUR EMAIL BY TOMORROW!
We want to celebrate our Messiah Graduates! If you know or have a class of 2020 graduate that is part of our Messiah family, please send us an email with a photo, their school, any awards, what school they'll be attending in the fall or future plans and a note with who it's from. We are making a special video. Don't miss out.
Congratulations to all 2020 graduates! We are proud of you and celebrate your success!
Messiah Preschool had Drive Thru Parades to celebrate summer and their graduates. Teachers made this a fun way to say good-bye for summer break.
REGISTER FOR VBS!
Kids will have a blast as they discover how to trust in what they CAN’T see because of what they CAN see by putting the FOCUS on God and His amazing plan for us.
 
This will be a super fun week and we'll be with you every step of the way! You will receive a package of crafts and activities and we will have a dedicated VBS website with daily age-appropriate videos for the kids and all the information you’ll need. VBS is for Pre-K through 6th graders. Cost of $20 per child and $5 for each additional child in the same family includes t-shirt and all materials.

DRIVE THRU!
We love our Monday Drive Thru! Last Monday was a fun-filled western day. A real cowboy joined us! Coffee for a Good Cause was sold. It will be on sale again July 6. Once again, you brought tons of donations for the Food Pantry! They had enough to give out 120 bags! They are increasing each week thanks to you and your continued support. Come see us next Monday, June 15th from 9-11am. Our fun-loving staffers will be ready to greet you and we'll have gifts for the kids! Plus we always have donuts!

Messiah Student Ministries delivered cookies to students last week! What a "sweet surprise" for many to see their leaders and receive a special treat!
Thanks to Cookie Element for the delicious cookies! It's always great to support our Messiah Partners in Ministry with small businesses! If you haven't tried their cookies, you should!

"Went out back this morning to have my coffee and was shocked to find our feral porch cat (she adopted our backyard) having her kittens! Final count, 4 red kitties and 2 black kitties! They’re laying in color pattern (black, red, red, black, red, red) and they’re so cute, I can’t stand it!"
