You are warmly invited to stay for light refreshments following the 8:30a.m. service.

Members of Messiah’s Healing Team are available to pray with you during the administration of Holy Communion. If you would like prayer for healing, for some need or hurt, for a relationship or an important decision, or for any other reason, please join with them at the front left of the Sanctuary.
Each day of the week Messiah’s intercessory prayer groups pray for all requests submitted to them. If you wish prayer, write your request on one of the purple slips of paper in the pew rack and either place it on the offering plate or put it in the box on the table in the Gathering Area.
