We had an incredibly amazing weekend at Church of the Messiah over the past few days! There were people here practically from dawn til dusk on Saturday getting everything ready for the Grand Opening on Sunday and what a success it was! Glory to God in the highest! We want to thank everyone who worked so hard over the last several weeks and especially over the last few days to make Sunday so glorious. It was truly a blessing to everyone present… and there were over one hundred people present. Thanks be to God!
Also, thanks be to God, we have the use of our building 24-7 now, because, if we did not, this week might just break the bank! We have events going on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and services again on Sunday. What will it be like when we really get used being here? Tuesday night starting at six o’clock we have the monthly Ultreya for November. Wednesday night beginning at seven o’clock we have our first Mid-Week Service in several years! It will be a time of Praise & Worship, Biblical teaching on “Coming Out of Exile: Returning to the Promised Land,” and then a time of intercessory prayer which will end by 8:30 so everyone can be home in time for work and school the next day. Thursday will be a Rector’s Council meeting where Fr. David and the men of the Rector’s Council will meet to pray for God’s wisdom and direction for the future of the Church. Please pray for the Rector’s Council Thursday night! The building will not hardly have any time to let dust settle before we are all back on Sunday morning for the last regular Sunday in Ordinary Time (the following Sunday is Christ the King and then it’s Advent! Do you realize how close Christmas is yet?)!
This week, if you can’t be with us in the flesh, be with us in the spirit and pray with us and for us! We will be praying for you!
