Dear Brothers and Sisters at Messiah,
Christ is risen! He is risen indeed! Alleluia!
Our next worship service, for this coming Sunday, May 10th, will again be available in two formats. Our familiar audio-only version will be posted at Messiah's website and Facebook page by 8:30 am; we will also have our video version posted on our YouTube channel at the same time. We continue to be interested in your feedback; let us know what you think about one or both formats! Please plan to join us in meditation on God's Word and prayer for the 5th Sunday of Easter; you can get ready with previews of Sunday's service music, now on YouTube and at Messiah's Sacred Music page.
Our next livestream Bible study will also be this coming Sunday, May 10th. Join me as we continue exploring the first Epistle of Peter! We'll dig into 1 Peter 2:1-10 and 3:13-22 (the Epistles for May 10th and 17th) focusing on how Jesus gives us the gift of belonging to His royal priesthood, and equips us for the vocation of proclaiming His love to all. The YouTube livestream will start at 9:45 am on the 10th; the recorded study will be available on our website and Facebook page after it's complete (about 11 am).
One other thing: our May newsletter is out now! If it hasn't arrived in your mailbox yet, it should be there soon; or you can read it online by clicking here.
Please accept once again my thanks for your faithful stewardship and kind support of Messiah in this uncertain environment. Your ongoing generosity and your response to our new Online Giving option are helping us continue our mission of Knowing Christ and Making Him Known, and I continue to be deeply grateful.
Christ is risen! He is risen indeed! Alleluia!
Yours in Him,
Rick Krueger
Messiah Lutheran Church
