BLESSING OF THE ANIMALS
Thanks to all who attended our annual Blessing of the Animals and brought their lovable pets to receive prayer and blessings. A handful of people brought photos of pets who have passed away or couldn’t attend, and they still received a blessing. This was the first year in several years that we had all dogs! Thanks to All God’s Creatures, our animal ministry, for making treat bags for our furry friends. We hold this event annually on the first Sunday of October.

PLAZA OF THE CROSS DEDICATION
On Sunday, we celebrated the dedication of our plaza of the cross. It was a truly special occasion, and we were blessed to come together as a community to share this meaningful moment. There is a reason the church has always talked about standing at the foot of the cross - not at a respectful distance, but close enough to touch. That is why the plaza has no gate and no lock, and it never will. It is grace poured in concrete, with a welcome as wide as Jesus’ arms. "Love God, Love One Another". That is the whole assignment, and it is the life this cross invites us into. - Pastor Bob
Message from OUR SENIOR PASTOR
BOB MOONEY
Welcome — I’m Pastor Bob, and I’m glad you’re here. You don’t need the right words, the right beliefs, or any church experience at all to belong at Messiah. Our table is a big one, and there’s always room for one more.
Whether you grew up in a church, walked away from one, or have never set foot in one at all, you’re welcome here exactly as you are — no background required. We set a big table at Messiah, and there’s a place at it with your name on it.
LATEST SERMON
Parting the Sea
October 11
God is god. Human beings are not. And the story tells us that God wins. God wins victory over evil.
This story shows the Lord triumphing over evil and bringing new life.
