Messiah Lutheran Church welcomes you

The following is a list of trustworthy ministries supported by Messiah. These agencies were already on the ground in Haiti and are, even now, at work assisting with earthquake relief in Haiti.

ELCA Disaster Response

Lutheran World Relief

The Haitian Timoun Foundation 

Since the first word of creation, there has been a rhythm in the world, a call and response giving rise to the marking of time. “God said, ‘let there be light,’ and there was light… evening came, and morning followed – the first day.” Day after day, creation flowed forth. Then came a second rhythm: work giving way to rest. “And on the seventh day God rested...” (Genesis 1:3-2:2).

“For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven…” (Ecclesiastes 3:1). All creation is meant to move in time, but often we lose the rhythm. We cling to what we should leave, and we leave what we should cling to. We keep silent when we should speak, and we speak when we should keep silent. We need a Life Rhythm – prayer, worship, work, rest, and play – moving together, one giving way to another as God intends.

On Wednesdays during the season after Epiphany, we will explore such a rhythm, seeking a sustainable and sustaining Life Rhythm for each of us, and for all of us, in Christ.

At Messiah our form of worship is known as "liturgical," meaning literally "a work of the people." Thus, in worship, you will witness the assembly standing, sitting, kneeling, and responding (through words, songs, and silence.) In other words, for Lutheran Christians, worship is not passive, but very much an act - a work in which we all participate.

Of course, worship is much more than what can be explained here. So, we invite you to come and see. Come join our assembly as we seek to worship God as he meets us in word and sacrament, in silence and song, in good news announced and in peace shared.
