ADRINE GASIMYAN IS MOVING ON
WE'LL MISS HER & THIS SMILE!
"It has been an absolute joy being at Messiah to serve children and families for almost four years. I have loved getting to know you and your children, and being a part of their spiritual development. It is with a heavy heart to say that my time at Messiah is coming to an end. My last day will be Sunday, March 13. I have been presented with a wonderful opportunity to serve as Preschool Director for a Christian school. I am going to miss everyone at Messiah, yet I am overjoyed to step into this next season the Holy Spirit is leading me to. I am confident that the Lord will bring the right person to fill this wonderful Children’s Ministry Director role I have loved serving in. I will continue to cherish the memories I have made here and will dearly miss my Messiah family."
With Love,
Adrine Gasimyan

ALEXIS EVANS CONTINUES HER FIGHT
$2,658 donated SO FAR!
23-year-old Alexis Evans suffered a near fatal auto accident on December 21, 2021 which resulted in internal decapitation. No one expected her to survive and now she is fighting her way back and making miraculous improvement. Many of you have been following her journey and asked how you can help. There are two things that you can do. First continue praying! The second is you can make a donation to a fundraiser Pastor Bob is leading:
"During the Lenten and Easter season I am walking to raise money to help Alexis in her recovery. You can donate, whether it is $5 or $5,000, it will help Alexis on her road to recovery. Between Ash Wednesday, March 2 and Easter Sunday, April 17, I will be walking ONE MILLION STEPS FOR ALEXIS (which is equal to 500 miles). Together we can make a huge difference! Please make a donation to support this effort."
All donations are tax-deductible. 100% of your gift will go directly to help Alexis and her family. Thank you in advance for your support, prayers, and generosity. You cannot begin to imagine how much this means to Alexis and her family.

THE MEN ARE GOING HIKING!
MARCH 26
Jeannie Mooney has been leading our Women's Hiking Group for the last few years, so Pastor Bob decided it was time to get the men out on the trails! This is a chance to make some new friends and get exercise. Men of all ages are welcome. Invite friends! Once a month on Saturday morning we will take a 4–6-mile hike on a local trail. The hikes will range from easy to moderate. Each hike will begin with a short devotion and end with anyone who wants to grab a cup of coffee and enjoy each other’s company at a nearby coffee house.
Our first hike will be the Hicks Canyon Trail in Irvine. We will meet at Hicks Canyon Park on Viewpark Avenue and Culver in Irvine (just north of Irvine Blvd) at 8am and begin the hike at 8:15am. This is a relatively flat trail and is about 5 miles round trip. After the hike we will walk over to the Starbucks on Irvine Blvd and Culver to relax and chat.
Once you join, you will receive emails about each month's hike and a link to RSVP.
