Planning a visit?
September 30th, 2011 · No Comments
We welcome you and hope that you will see in Messiah the things that you are looking for in a church. What will you fins at Messiah? Please allow us to blow our own horn for just a bit…
- Our people are friendly, and would love to get to know you. But if you’re more comfortable being anonymous for your visit that’s okay too.
-As you enter the church there are information pamphlets available to help you navigate our worship, and to highlight what makes Lutherans Lutheran. A greeter will likely welcome you and give you the “lay of the land.”
- Our worship is traditional, contemporary, and a mix of the two. We enjoy lively worship, but also the spirituality of contemplative worship. Each service is familiar in feel, but different in content. So plan on visiting more than once–to fully appreciate Messiah’s worship life.
- Sunday School is available for all ages. Ask someone for directions to classrooms, as they are known to move around a bit! A nursery for infants and toddlers is available if needed.
- We are involved in many ministries. Check out the bulletin boards before you leave–just to get a flavor of what Messiah is up to. Grab a copy of the newsletter, too.
- Introduce yourself to the Pastor. Tom is always glad to answer your questions and would love to meet with you f you so desire.
- Ask for a tour! We’d be glad to show you around.
- We welcome you if you believe in Jesus Christ, are just looking into Christianity, are returning to the church after a time away, are seeking prayers and spiritual strength, or in need of answers to life’s questions. You are not alone, as we view faith as a journey, not a destination. We’re all on the road together! Our service is fully open to you–and you are prepared to share in the Lord’s Supper if you are baptized, believe Jesus is present in the bread and wine, and that God gives himself to you in communion.
- We love to tell the story of Jesus and his love. That story can touch your life and transform it. That happens in different ways for different people. The Bible guides us, and though it was written centuries ago, it relates to our modern lives in amazing ways. We are discovering new ways of interpreting the message that speak to individuals and groups in a voice of compassion, justice, and meaning.
Hope to see you at Messiah real soon! We want to share with you this community of faith that has brought so much joy, understanding, and comfort to us over the last 25 years!
PS - The church is a little hard to find. Beautiful trees lend privacy to our hilltop haven, but they also make Messiah less visible. Coming from Milford on Rt. 101, Messiah is about a half mile from Salzburg Square shopping – if you go past The Amherst Garden Center on the right–you’ve just missed it! Coming from the other direction, the church is about a half mile from the intersection with Camp Rd. If you are having trouble, call 673-2011 and someone will guide you here [Note: GPS users - use address 304 Rt. 101 instead of 303--which inexplicably does not exist in GPS-Land!]
