FAITH-FULL ARTISTRY
​
For the Wednesdays of Lent (March 12-April 9) we will have our Lenten Soup Supper starting at 6:00 PM. At 7:00 PM we will have Holden Evening Prayer with various speakers reflecting upon how they experience God through a piece of art—for example banner, painting, panel of artwork on the back of the sanctuary wall, a beloved hymn/song, poem, cross on the hallway wall, etc. The piece of art may be a discovery from Messiah or from another source.

OUR LILLY CLERGY RENEWAL
GRANT APPLICATION IS DONE
​
We have applied to have a Lilly Foundation Clergy Renewal grant awarded to Messiah for 2026. If it is awarded Pastor Karl will be away for 15 weeks on a rest and renewal leave framed around the life and writings of C.S. Lewis.
​
There will also be events and opportunities at Messiah related to the theme. The grant application is available if you are curious please reach out to Pastor Karl.
​
We also made a video introducing Messiah and our desire for a grant to the folks who read and decide upon the applications.
