This Week at Messiah
|
New Year, New Sermon Series, New Bible Study
January 1 always brings with it resolutions… promises to do better. Maybe those promises are to eat better, to enjoy family more, to watch less television, or maybe to read the Bible more often. We here at Messiah want to help you with that, so we’re offering a sermon series and a Bible study to help you with these goals.

New Ray VanderLaan Bible Study
A Bible study is beginning Monday, January 14 by Ray VanderLaan entitled Cultures in Conflict. It is a five week DVD based Bible study. There are two different times being offered. Monday morning at 11:00 a.m. and Tuesday night at 6:30 p.m. A sign up sheet is in the narthex. Please indicate if you would like a workbook when you sign up. Locking Doors In the effort to improve the safety and security of our Church; the Elders and the Safety and Security action team are instituting the following, beginning at the first service in January: Shortly after services start; both the gym doors and the office entrance door will be re-locked. The main entrance doors will remain unlocked. At a later point during service, probably immediately after Communion, those locked doors will be unlocked. The purpose of this is to better secure our worship services and to prevent access to the building through these unlocked doors without being noticed or heard. This will allow the Ushers and the Elder at service to at least monitor the main door. Please address any comments or concerns to an Elder. 2019 Offering Envelopes The offering envelopes have been distributed in the mailboxes. If you did not receive a box and would like one, please see Meredith Foster. Volunteers for Youth Haven Christmas Dinner All volunteers should report to the main office at 3:30 p.m. on December 29 for the annual Christmas dinner for the kids. A sign up sheet is in the narthex. Contact Jerry Smith for more information. Deadline for Bulletin Submissions Pastor Vanderbilt will be reviewing the bulletin each week by noon on Thursday. Following this review, nothing will be added. Therefore, if you have submissions for the weekly bulletin and the e-mail bulletin, please have that to the Church Office no later than Thursday morning. Thank you Christmas Banners Christmas Banners were donated by Sharon Keller & Family and Ernie and Sandra Schuette |
