There is nothing quite like a candlelight Christmas Eve service when we lift our lighted candles and sing: Silent Night, holy night, wondrous star, lend thy light; with the angels let us sing, Alleluia to our King; Christ the Savior is born, Christ the Savior is born!
Our two daughters are on their way home to be with Amanda and me as we celebrate on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. I hope you will be able to worship with us. The entire schedule of service times are available on Messiah’s website. On behalf of my family, we wish you a most blessed Christmas.
If you would like to participate in the daily Bible reading and reflections that will begin on January 1, click on follow on this blog or send me an email at srichards@messiahchurchmn.org

Pastor Steve,
Safe travels to you and the group going to Kenya. Cory and will be praying for all of you during your mission trip to Light of Hope.
Also, the two of us look forward to participating in the daily Bible readings. What a wonderful way to start off the new year together.
Blessings,
Sonya and Cory
