April 5 Worship and Bible Study Update
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Just a reminder that our audio service for Sunday, April 5 will be available at our Worship Resources web page by 8:30 am tomorrow morning. A link to the service will also be posted on Messiah's Facebook page.
I'll also be offering a Video Bible Study every Sunday we remain away from our building. These will be devotionally focused studies on selected readings from the day's worship.services. Tomorrow's study will be on two Scriptures that are also songs: the "Servant Song" of Isaiah 50:4-9a (the Old Testament Reading for April 5) and Philippians 2:5-11, one of the earliest New Testament hymns (the Epistle). You'll be able to watch the study at any of these three pages, starting at 9:45 am on Sunday.
We've also added a new page for Sacred Music; we'll be posting videos of organ and choral music there on a regular basis, along with a link to great music from Lutheran Public Radio, available 24/7. Please check it out!
As always, please feel free to reply to this message with any feedback you think will be helpful for us, as we adjust to this very different situation -- "socially distanced" from each other physically, but still together by faith in the ark of God's Church, nourished by His Word. As I've said before, I and all of Messiah's staff are deeply grateful for your ongoing support through your contacts, prayers and offerings.
Yours in Christ,
Rick Krueger
P.S. Our April newsletter will be sent out on Monday, April 6; you'll also be able to read it at our website by 12 noon that day.
