Dear Brothers and Sisters of Messiah,
With Trinity Sunday coming up this weekend, our worship life moves into The Time of the Church, where we focus on our continuing life in Jesus Christ, fed by the green pastures of His Word & Sacraments for the flourishing of our souls.
There are continuing opportunities for education, fellowship and service during June as well. Click on the headings below to jump directly to a topic!
