A final reminder that, beginning with this issue of the newsletter:
Paper copies of the newsletter will be available for members and guests at the Welcome Center. We will continue to mail the newsletter to homebound members.
We will also continue to post the newsletter and monthly calendars online at www.messiahgr.org/news. We'll include a direct link to each new online newsletter and calendars in the email update sent at the end of every month -- like we did this time!
If you are not currently able to attend worship (due to the pandemic or for other reasons) but want to continue receiving the newsletter, please contact Sandy Goodlander in the church office to make arrangements.
This coming Sunday, we join with believers around the world and across the ages in confessing the mystery of the Holy Trinity -- that God is Three-in-One, Father, Son and Holy Spirit -- and that we can only believe this truth through the powerful working of God in our lives through His Word. This weekend and always, let us give glory to our God because He has shown His mercy to us in Jesus Christ!
Yours in Him,
Rick Krueger, Parish Assistant
