Winter & Spring:

SUNDAY SCHOOL

Sunday School (for children aged Preschool through Grade 8) is now in session!

Every week’s session begins with a joint Sunday School/Bible Class opening in Messiah’s fellowship hall at 9:00 am. After the opening, children spend time immersed in the rich gifts of God’s Word. They’ll hear, respond and learn by heart, making connections with our Lord through His gifts of prayer, songs & music, story & poetry, images & art, nature & ideas. This fall and winter, Sunday School goes back to our beginnings, focusing on stories from the Biblical books of Genesis and Exodus.

WEEKLY BIBLE STUDIES

Bible Class meets on Sundays at 9:00 am.

LifeLight is a nine-week small-group study that meets during the week; it's held two to three times a year, beginning in September, January, and after Easter. 

CARES (Caring, Active, Reaching, Encouraging Sisters in Christ) meets weekly on Wednesdays at 9:45 am. This women’s book discussion group is reading Unfailing: God’s Assurance for Times of Change by Christopher M. Kennedy. In this book, Pastor Kennedy leads readers through the life of the prophet Samuel and the tumultuous changes he endured to see how we can trust God to guide us through change.
