Men’s Night with the Jacksonville Sharks

It’s been way too long since football season, and way to long since the men of Church of the Messiah have spent time together as a group!  In order to alleviate both of those issues, the Men of Messiah are getting together this Saturday night (7/9/11) to see the Jacksonville Sharks play the Dallas Vigilantes at the Veterans Memorial Arena at 7pm.
We will be meeting at Chicago Pizza at the Jacksonville Landing at 5:30pm for dinner, or you can join up in front of the arena at 6:45pm to purchase tickets (in order to get adjoining seats).  The tickets range from $15 and up, and we can decide what section we’d like to be in as a group.  For more info, visit the Jacksonville Sharks web-site.
Please contact Greg McGrew to let him know if you will be attending.

Have You Missed Important Church Announcements?

Have you ever missed important Church announcements and updates only to log in later and find out they were posted on the Church Web-Page?  Here is how to make sure that it never happens again.  At the very bottom of the web-page (all the way down!) there are light blue words which read “Entries (RSS) and Comments (RSS).”  Click on “Entries (RSS)” and it will take you to a page that allows you to “subscribe” to the web-page.  Your web-page will let you know when a new entry is posted on the web-page.  That way, you’ll never miss another important announcement (Like where we were today!).  Follow your browser’s directions and you’ll never be out of the loop again!

Spirit Night at Chick-Fil-A to Benefit the Youth Group

This Thursday, June 9th, Chick-Fil-A at St. John’s Town Center (click HERE for map) will donate 20% of their receipts from anyone who says, “We are here for the Spirit Night.”  This money will go to offset the cost of the Youth Events for the Summer. 

Please note: this only applies to the Chick-Fil-A at St. John’s Town Center and we only get credit if you specify that you are there for the Spirit Night.

Please share this event on your favorite social network.  We reap the benefits of anyone who says they’re with us, whether we know them or not.  Also, we cannot solicit the customers who are there already.  Bring your friends; bring your kids;

URGENT PRAYER for Bishop Jotham

Urgent Prayer for Bishop Jotham Kabonabe
May 31, 2011

Yesterday Bishop Jacques Muhindo of DR Congo accompanied Bishop Jotham Kabonabe to Butembo where he was admitted to the hospital. We just heard that Bishop Kabonabe is in critical condition. Please pray for him, for his family and for Bishop Muhindo who has been very faithful in his service to Bishop Kabonabe.

We will write if we hear anything further.
