The Church of the Messiah

After a month-long Christmas vacation, Church of the Messiah will restart its Wednesday night services by observing the Feast of the Epiphany this Wednesday night, January 4th.  The evening begins with a soup supper starting at 6 o’clock.  We will have a variety of soups as well as a kid-friendly option for the younger diners.  The soup supper lasts from 6:00 to 6:45.   Beginning at 7 o’clock we will celebrate the Feast of the Epiphany, the occasion where the Magi from the East came and worshiped Our Lord by giving Him gifts of gold, Frankincense, and myrrh.  As part of the service this year, we are taking up a special offering for Emergency Pregnancy Services of Jacksonville, our local Pro-Life crisis pregnancy center.  To help support EPS, we are collecting size 4 and 5 diapers and any kind of formula.  There will also be a special offertory presentation at this service.  Our annual Epiphany service is always one of the highlights of the year.

As always, childcare is provided throughout the service for children younger than sixth grade.  This is a family-friendly service and we recognize that school starts back up the very next day so we commit to be finished by 8:30 so that everyone can head home and get ready for school and work at an appropriate hour.  Please join us this Wednesday night, beginning at 6 o’clock and be blessed as we worship the Lord.
