Yep…it’s really happening! And it’s almost here… This Sunday (6th), The Message is finally opening up again for in-person worship! Of course it will look a bit different that ‘normal,’ but we’ve made a plan and safety protocols are in place, so here we go!

Again…is most all of this new and different from the way we used to do church? Very much so! But it’s the hand we’ve been dealt right now. And so we must adjust our methods to continue our mission of reaching more people for Jesus Christ. Remember – all throughout history, methods have had to adapt or change for various reasons. But the one thing that will never change is the mission and message of Jesus, and that eternal salvation and security only comes through him!
As our church’s founding verse says: “Faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ” (Romans 10:17) Well, this is just the new way/method, we get to continue that very mission and message!

God bless you all…I love you and can’t wait to see you soon!
