BEGINS OCT 12
What if the way we think about sharing our faith is all wrong? You probably believe that your life is better because of Jesus, the work of the Holy Spirit in your life and your participation in your congregation. But you also don’t want your friends to think you’re “pushing religion on them.” Pastor Jay will help us look at alternative ways to think about spiritual journeys, transformation, sharing our faith, and inviting our friends to take “one step at a time” toward growing in their relationship with God. We'll meet on Mondays at Messiah for 4 weeks. Click here to sign up!
MESSIAH KIDS WEDNESDAYS
Pre-K thru 5th graders are invited to come on Wednesdays between 5:30-7:30pm for fun games and activities with Adrine Gasimyan, Children's Ministry Director. Bring a picnic dinner.
DRIVE THRU MONDAYS
We celebrated PETS this week in honor of all the donations we received for our Pet Supply Collection! It's so fun to see all who drive thru. Thanks for your generous donations each week in support of Caring Hands Food Pantry! This is only possible with your ongoing support! Come see us next Monday, October 5 between 9-11am.

CHARITY'S CLOSET NEEDS DRIVERS
Charity's Closet is an all-volunteer business that supports HIS (Homeless Intervention Shelter) HOUSE in Placentia which provides housing and services for homeless families. Charity's Closet is in need of multiple drivers to pick up items that can't be used in the small shop and deliver them to other ministries/resources in the community. A pickup and delivery should only take 30-45 minutes. There's an immediate need for a driver on Saturdays, 11:30-12pm. A large vehicle/truck is helpful, but not necessary. If you can help, please contact Dave Baker by email or 714-528-4592. Thank you!
