At Messiah, life changes in the summer, but we are still a vibrant community.  This summer our Joseph’s Coat Ministry will move to a new location that God is preparing for us now, nearly 100 volunteers will welcome over 200 children for our Vacation Bible School in June, our Preschool will be giving tours and preparing their new all day Kindergarten classroom, our servant work at the food pantry, First English, Rebecca’s House, Faith on Eighth and the Family Shelter will faithfully carry on, people people will gather Wednesday nights for bible study at 6:30 and worship at 7:30, our Volleyball, Golf Scrambles and Softball teams will play, hundreds will enjoy great home cooking at our food booth at the Tomato Festival, thousands will cheer our float at the Reynoldsburg Fourth of July parade,children and youth will grow in Sunday School every Summer Sunday, our Cheers! Groups will grill out at member’s home, our youth will travel to NYC for a servant trip in July, our ministry committees will plan and dream for the year ahead, pets will put on their Sunday best and be brought forward for a blessing in August.

Worship happens every Sunday, too, at 8, 9:30 and 11 and 7:30 Wednesdays for those who are away for the weekend.  Enjoy the good gift of summer in Ohio, take a needed rest from some of the busyness of the school year, get outside, travel to see friends and family, America even the world, but when you are in town, come and worship with us.  Our voice is stronger when you sing with us praises to God.  If you have to miss a Sunday, please remember to bring your offering envelope for the week you missed.  Because thanks to your energy, passion and devotion, the Spirit is still alive at Messiah in June, July and August.  Peace, Pastor Karl
