March for Life at Church of the Messiah

This week more than a dozen members of Church of the Messiah will be heading up to Washington, D.C., to join with CEC for Life and participate in the 47th Annual March for Life.  If you cannot make the trek to the frozen north, you can still participate in a series of events planned right here at Church of the Messiah.

On Thursday night, beginning at 7:00, we will have a night of pro-life intercession and prayer at Church of the Messiah.

On Friday morning, starting at 9 o’clock, we will participate in a silent prayer vigil at All Women’s Health Center at 1545 Huffingham Road (click HERE for a map.  Please park in the church parking lot or alongside the road.)

On Saturday morning, starting at 9 o’clock, we will be leading the Liturgy for the Pre-Born in front of All Women’s Health Center.  If you have never attended one of these liturgies, this will be a perfect opportunity to do so.

For more information on any of these services, please contact Casey Harlow or Fr. Scott Melanson.

In light of these scheduled event and our many youth who are traveling to Washington this week to participate in the March for Life, we are cancelling both Youth Group and our Adult Bible Study on Wednesday night, January 22nd.  This events will resume as normal on Wednesday, January 29th.

Wednesday Night Services Resume This Wednesday Night

Now that Christmas Vacation is officially over and the kids are all headed back to school, we are ready to restart Church of the Messiah’s Wednesday Night Services this Wednesday, January 9th.  Our service will begin at 7 o’clock and will include a time of praise and worship, a Biblical teaching, prayer, and Holy Communion.  Additionally, our youth group (6th – 12th grade students) meets during this time and our children have special planned activities as well.  Fr. Looker will be beginning a new teaching series on January 9th entitled: “Prophet, Priest, and King: Jesus and Our Mission.”  Because we are aware that there is a lot to accomplish to get everyone ready for work and school on time, we are committed to have the service end promptly by 8:30.  Please note that, in a change from previous weeknight services, we will not be having a community dinner prior to these services for the time being.  After almost two months on hiatus, we are very excited to resume our mid-week fellowship and can’t wait to see everyone again on Wednesday nights.  Be sure to invite your friends and we will see everyone on January 9th!

This Sunday morning, beginning at nine o’clock, Church of the Messiah’s Youth Group will be hosting a pancake breakfast in order to raise funds for their annual trip to the March for Life in Washington, D.C.  Taking a stand for life and proclaiming the truth that all life is sacred, our youth will be heading to Washington, D.C., this January to meet up with member of the Charismatic Episcopal Church throughout the country as well as hundreds of thousands of others gathering there.  In order to raise funds for the trip they will be providing an amazing pancake breakfast for those attending church on October 21st.  There will be blueberry pancakes, chocolate chip pancakes, lots of syrup, and fifteen pounds of bacon!  All that the Youth Group is asking is that you give a love offering to help support them in their efforts to go to Washington, D.C., this year.  Since the Youth Group is only taking offerings, they want everyone to be able to enjoy the breakfast and ask that everyone comes regardless of whether they make a donation or not.  If you cannot be here this Sunday and still want to support our youth, you can click HERE, follow the link, and choose “Youth March for Life” to give on-line.  Be sure to skip breakfast this Sunday morning and come to church hungry with a little extra in your pocket to support the Youth Group!
