Some Words About This Publication – The Messiah Messenger:

We have discontinued the "Messiah Messenger" for now and have transitioned much of the content that would be in the newsletter to the weekly "Look Ahead" email.  To sign up for the email list contact the church office.

Nevertheless, we have lots of history and content here which you may yet find useful.  Please feel free to look around.
