"Whoever welcomes you, welcomes me." Matthew 10:40- Quoting from Justin´s sermon, "When any of us are sent and received, we are being Christ with skin on: to love and share the saving story of Jesus and be a healing presence, fighting for justice and peace." Our Sunday with Messiah Lutheran http://www.facebook.com/pages/Messiah-Lutheran-Church/116338565053839 was refreshing for us as well as the Church´s members. Messiah Lutheran Church is the home congregation of members of both my family as well as Justin´s. We both felt that it was good to see familiar faces, sing and worship together once again with family and brothers and sisters in Christ and to "break bread" over a good ole´ Southern homestyle potluck after service. As one congregational member put it, "It was just so nice to see so many people fill the pews again." Messiah is a small, aging congregation located in a changing neighborhood. Thank you Messiah for welcoming us and our prayers will be for your continued ministry of welcoming others.
