Easter Banners We wish to acknowledge Dr. Jon and Cyndy Wulff, Dave and Ellen Biergans, and George and Martha McDowell whose gifts made possible the adoption of our two new banners being presented for the first time this Easter Sunday.

If there are any changes in your address, email, or phone number since submitting information several months ago, please put the corrected information in the Wagners’ box in the hallway.

Summer Service Schedule
Beginning Memorial Day Weekend, May 26, Messiah will observe an adjusted worship schedule throughout the summer, until Labor Day on September 1. This new schedule will be as follows:
VBS IS COMING! Sunday June 23 – Wednesday June 26, 2019: 6:00– 8:00 p.m. VBS is just around the corner! Please join us for an intergalactic adventure with Miraculous Mission: Jesus Saves the World. Together we will explore God’s miraculous mission and learn about His plan of salvation from creation to the cross. Volunteer Sign Up sheets will be in the narthex soon! Please consider joining us in this Mission! In addition we are in desperate need of a Dinner Service Coordinator. The coordinator does not need to cook! The coordinator can lead the kitchen crew or can simply organize boards/small groups of volunteers to provide the dinner each night. If you do not wish to be the coordinator, but can donate money for the dinners, please contact the church office. If you have additional questions or comments, please contact Erin House (862-4856) or Angie Greene (505-0512). We hope to see you at the Miraculous Mission! A HUGE Thank You! The Easter Breakfast was a great success and the National Youth Gathering group would like to thank everyone who attended and those who helped take down the chairs/tables. Your generous donations helped us raise $850! Through the Easter breakfast and the M&M fundraiser, you have helped us raise 88% of our $9,980 goal - we are truly blessed! Mailing Weekly Bulletins We are mailing our weekly bulletin to some of our homebound members. If you would like a copy of our weekly bulletin mailed to your home, please leave a note in the Secretary’s holdout box in the Gathering Area. Be sure to include your FULL ADDRESS on the note just to verify that we have your current and correct address. To help us keep our costs down, we ask that only those who do not have e-mail request printed bulletins. Those with e-mail can go to our website: messiahlutheranholt.org, and click on the “Subscribe to our E-mailed Bulletin” button on the front page, enter your email address, and click subscribe.
