NOTE FROM PASTOR BOB ABOUT
"BACK TO THE FUTURE"
"On September 12th you are all invited BACK TO THE FUTURE AND BACK to church on ground at Messiah. To celebrate this new season we are having one outdoor service at 9am on the lawn. Worship will be followed by breakfast, games, and activities for all ages. YOU are invited back to a place and to the people that have gathered here for almost 60 years. We realize that what we are inviting you BACK to is something that will not be exactly the same as it was before the pandemic. “Why” you ask? Because we have all grown and learned and changed over the past 18 months of this pandemic.
We are inviting you BACK to share in the mission of Messiah, to Love God and to Love One Another. That is the greatest commandment that Jesus gave. That mission will never change. What many people discovered through the pandemic were lessons of gratitude, generosity and patience. All of these are important for the life, mission and FUTURE of the church.
As we gather, we see the need to do so much more than go back to the status quo. Come on BACK so together we can encourage and discover how God’s Sprit will empower and excite us to live out our mission in our world and community. So please come on BACK so that together we can move into the FUTURE to Serve, Connect, Care and live out our Witness in new ways so others realize that there is room at our table for them."
