Confirmation Classes for 6th-8th Graders
Wednesdays at 6:30 p.m. beginning September 25 Led by Rev. Robert Dowding of Trinity Lutheran Church, Lansing An Orientation will be held September 25 in the Sanctuary and classes will begin October 2 in the Youth Room. Please contact Mike Wagner or Jeff Rutter with your questions. Notice Regarding Priscilla Shirer Conference
Much to many of our disappointments, the planned trip to Chicago in November to see Priscilla Shirer has been cancelled. The train schedule did not work with the times we needed to leave the conference. Other options were explored but they did not meet our needs either. On a positive note, you can still get another dose of Priscilla by signing up today for her Bible study, Discerning the Voice of God, being offered on Monday morning at 10:30 or Tuesday evening at 6:30 beginning September 30 and October 1. Both will be held in the Good Shepherd room. Discerning the Voice of God by Priscilla Shirer
New Bible Study led by Jackie Lack (Mondays at 10:30 a.m.) and Cyndy Wulff (Tuesdays at 6:30 p.m.) Location will be the Good Shepherd Room Beginning September 30 and October 1 This is a 7 week DVD based study by Priscilla Shirer with a workbook to follow along with the study. Cyndy and Jackie will be presenting the same study but at different days and times. This will allow you to still attend a class if you cannot make your usual day or time. There will be a sign up sheet in the narthex or you can let Jackie or Cyndy know directly. This is a short deadline as we need to get the books ordered. Please let us know by no later than September 22. 
Euchre Night
October 11 at 7:00 p.m. The weather is starting to turn cooler and you know what that means. Messiah Euchre nights! Our first euchre game night is scheduled for Oct 11 at 7:00 p.m. Just bring a dollar for the kitty and a snack to share. You don't need to be a card shark to play, just someone who likes to play cards and socialize with other Messiah members. Notes of Encouragement
Have you checked the box of notes in the narthex lately? New cards and notes are available to contact members and friends who need to know they are not forgotten. Your kind words of encouragement may be just what someone needs to hear. You are welcome to add cards and notes to the collection. |
Update from Planned Giving Board
The Planned Giving Board wishes to remind everyone that grant money (over $6,000) is still available this calendar year. Keep in mind for a grant request to be considered, the grant should fall within one of four categories -- Education Ministry, Evangelism, Capitol Improvements, and Special Ministry. So far this year, Planned Giving has granted $9,138 for upgrades to gym and hallway lighting, MCDC parenting class and our most recent, the HE BREWS café area. A note of thanks to our brothers and sisters in Christ...
Our family has been blessed by your caring love during Mike’s months of illness and now in the time of his passing. We have known first-hand the love of our God because of you all. Our Messiah family's constant prayers, encouraging words, beautiful cards and much needed hugs will forever be remembered. We thank God for you and look forward to continued Christian service here with you all at Messiah. Joy in Jesus, The Harmon Family Kathy, Jon, Heather, Dan, Sandy, Audrey, Olivia, Elise, Noah and Ava Thank You!
Dear friends of Messiah, Sara and I would like to thank you for all the blessings you have given to us over the years. We thank you for the smiles, the laughs, the joy, and the hugs that you gave to us so regularly. We also thank you for all your gifts and cards in these last few weeks. We have shed many tears reading through each of them. With this in mind, we leave you with the words of Philippians 1: I thank my God in all my remembrance of you, always in every prayer of mine for you all making my prayer with joy, because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now. And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ. Until we meet again! Love, Pastor Tom and Sara |
