As we leave behind Jacksonville University and take possession of our new home, one of the benefits is that we are able to hold mid-week services.  With that blessing in mind, we will return to holding services on Wednesday nights starting on next Wednesday, November 13th.  The service will begin at 7 o’clock and will include a time of praise and worship, a time of Bible-based teaching, and a time of intercessory prayer.  The service will include child-care and our regular Wednesday night Youth Group meetings will be moving into the Church at the same time and meeting in the Youth Room.  We will dismiss by 8:30 so that everyone can be home in time for bed-time and school the next day.

Beginning on Wednesday, November 13th, Fr. Scott Looker will lead a series titled “Coming Out of Exile: Returning to the Promised Land.”  The study will focus on the period of time after the Jews were released from their seventy years of exile in Babylon but before they were able to rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem.  As Church of the Messiah sets out from Jacksonville University and begins planning to build on our property on St. Johns’ Bluff, this time in the life of the Children of Israel is especially relevant to where we are as a Church community.  Look for Biblical history and well as pertinent life application.

Be sure to set your DVR’s because, after a long hiatus, Wednesday nights are Church Nights once again at Church of the Messiah!  We’ll see you starting November 13th at 7 o’clock!
