Messiah Lutheran Church:

What time are the services?

We worship on Thursdays at 6:30PM and on Sundays at 7:45AM and 10:15 AM.

What should I wear to worship?

There is no dress code in God's house.  Some come right from work and wear their hospital scrubs or their office clothes.  If you have time to prepare before you come, you will want to show God your respect by bringing your best.  If the best you have is a clean pair of jeans, come on in!  Just remember what our Lord said: "Man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart."

Should I bring little children to the service?

Jesus said "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them." Infants and young children are welcome in our church.  For your convenience and for the benefit of a pleasant worship atmosphere for all our worshipers, a "cry room" has been developed for parents with fussy children.  From that room you can see and hear very clearly the praises of your fellow believers.

Will I be able to follow the service?

We use an orderly form of worship that is easily followed page by page in the front of our hymnals.  Usually, each hymn is announced when it's time to sing.  If you don't know the tune, just follow the words and when you feel comfortable, join in singing.  It's not a performance - it's your personal praise of your Lord.

Is Messiah handicap accessible?

Yes, Messiah is handicap accessible. All entrances have ramped access. There are no stairs to climb. There are special spaces available in the worship area for individuals or families with wheelchairs.

Will I be welcomed?

Yes, you will be welcomed warmly by several people as you enter church.  They won't put a big badge on you stamped "Visitor" nor will we ask you to get up in front of everyone and introduce yourself.  But, you can expect a "good morning" and an offer for a cup of coffee.
