What You're Saying:

"Beautiful job Haley! Loved this song!"

"Great message Pastor Jay and thanks Pastor Bob for the powerful concluding prayer."

"I thought the service was great! Good music, good message."

Awesome message from Pastor Jay (John 15). Enjoyed the incites. It is a true gift to be a branch and bearing fruit is even better."
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.

Thank you to everyone who walked and donated to the Walk for Water on Saturday May 30! Thousands of people (nearly six villages will now have clean water because of you!
Messiah's team "The Messiah is Coming" had 20 walkers and raised $5,124 which is nearly half a water well (wells cost $10,500 each). We won 2nd place in the amount of money we raised.
The entire Walk for Water raised $61,675 which is enough for almost six wells! This is a huge success being a virtual walk. On top of 26 states, teams walked in Uganda, New Zealand, Australia, Napal and New Mexico! Total distance in all was 1,760 miles!
DRIVE THRU!
We love our Monday Drive Thru! Once again, you brought tons of donations for the Food Pantry! They had enough to give out 115 bags this week along with 49 produce boxes! They were busy! Thanks for your continued support. Come see us next Monday, June 8th from 9-11am. Our fun-loving staffers and a special cowboy will be ready to greet you and we'll have gifts for the kids! Plus we always have donuts!

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 high resolution photo and some information that we can put into a special video. Please use this template.

Don't miss out! Send your email here by June 10 to be included in the video. Thank you!
Congratulations to all 2020 graduates! We are proud of you and celebrate your success!

"Today I went back to Servite to send off my school kids. It felt so good to see them again (even if it was just for a second in their cars)!"

"These three boys (cousins) have all lost their front teeth! Cooper - 7, Ryan - 6, Noah - 6.5."
FREE PIZZA PROGRAM
Our pizza program is still going strong and feeding hundreds of people each week! In the past two months, we've given out over 1,000 pizzas! If you and your family could use a slice of help during this time order a free individual size pizza on us (up to five per family). Pizzas can be picked up on Mondays at Messiah at 5pm.

Just got this text from my friend (widowed; nurse; two kids) regarding Pizza of God:

"So generous they are offering and continue this right now. It helps in many ways for us- one less dinner to plan, cook, pay for and a little fun pick me up. We settle in, make a salad to go with it, eat on the couch and watch a show together. It's become a little ritual. Please share our gratitude with whoever's in charge ."
