It was a great first week of Worship from Home. Many families gathered to watch and talk through the discussion questions. Thanks for joining us and checking in! We look forward to "seeing" you all again this Sunday! You will receive an email at 8am with a direct link.
"Praying hard while watching church online. Thanks Messiah for offering an option for us to worship from home during this time!"
"I tried to make an 'altar' today while watching the service. I think the service went well."
MESSIAH BUDDIES
30 people stepped up to call nearly 100 of our seniors and check in on them. The response has been great. The people doing the calling feel it's a good way to stay in touch and care for each other. The ones receiving the calls are very appreciative that Messiah is thinking about them and offering to help if they have a need. We have a group willing to run errands for those who can't go out.
"The new downtime is giving me the opportunity to perfect recipes for my new Italian Cookbook."
Many people have asked how they can be of assistance to others. People are losing jobs and income during this time. Maybe you can provide a professional service for free or a deep discount? Handy person services? Shopping for necessities? Financial assistance? Share a helpful video? There are so many ways! If you would like to help in ANY way please click here and let us know how. Thank you!

"I've been quarantined since 3/10. My family keeps checking on me daily, online. Sorting many boxes of old paper and documents. Changing all my accounts to paperless! Found I have a huge supply of boxes of plastic bags." She was looking for a place to donate the bags so Caring Hands Pantry's need was the perfect place! Her granddaughter picked them up and brought them to our drive thru.
Thank you for the oranges from your tree! These were brought to our drive thru and there were even more oranges than this picture shows! These are going to feed the hungry at Caring Hands Food Pantry.
