Dear Church

Join us in reading ELCA pastor, Lenny Duncan's, book "  Dear Church: A Love Letter from a Black Preacher to the Whitest Denomination in the US  ." Messiah will be hosting zoom events on  July 8th  and  July 15th  at  7pm  to discuss Duncan's book and talk about what a commitment to racial justice means for us as a congregation and as individuals. On July 8th we will be discussing Parts 1 & 2 of the book and on July 15th we will be discussing Part 3. To join the zoom meeting click here. The meeting ID is 81797965940.
 
Duncan's powerful book is part manifesto, part confession, and all love letter. Dear Church offers a bold new vision for the future of his denomination (our denomination) and the broader mainline Christian community of faith. Dear Church rejects the narrative of 'church decline' and calls everyone-- leaders and laity alike-- to the front lines of the church's renewal through racial equality and justice. 
Worship Bulletins

The worship bulletins that are sent out electronically on Saturday are printable from your home computers. When you receive the email, open it and press "ctrl p" on your keyboard and it will print.
 
On Thursday afternoons, we will place pre-printed bulletins in the Messiah Lending Library (the box pictured in this article). It is located on H street outside the kitchen. Please feel free to stop by and pick one up if you do not have a computer or printer at home.

Please contact Tia Monsen if you have any questions.
