This Sunday, July 10, Deacon David Lawrence and his wonderful family will once again return to Church of the Messiah.

He, his wife Kris, and their five children are back in the United States on their annual summer furlough. Join us this Sunday as we welcome back our own missionary family. Be sure to hear all of the incredible things Our Lord is doing in the Middle East through the willing hearts of the lawrences of Arabia.

Men’s Night with the Jacksonville Sharks
It’s been way too long since football season, and way to long since the men of Church of the Messiah have spent time together as a group! In order to alleviate both of those issues, the Men of Messiah are getting together this Saturday night (7/9/11) to see the Jacksonville Sharks play the Dallas Vigilantes at the Veterans Memorial Arena at 7pm.We will be meeting at Chicago Pizza at the Jacksonville Landing at 5:30pm for dinner, or you can join up in front of the arena at 6:45pm to purchase tickets (in order to get adjoining seats). The tickets range from $15 and up, and we can decide what section we’d like to be in as a group. For more info, visit the Jacksonville Sharks web-site.Please contact Greg McGrew to let him know if you will be attending. -
