Children’s “Olympics” Reprise – February 25 – 9 a.m. – 10:30 a.m. Join us for relays, active games and other activities in the Community Room. It is going to be fun and a great way to get out of the house and doing something to stretch our muscles and use up some energy! Parents are asked to attend and help. All equipment will be provided. If you’d like to help, contact Catherine at familyministry@messiahchurch.com.

Instructions begins on Sunday, March 11, during Sunday School and continue on March 18, March 25 (Easter Walk), and April 15. On Saturday, April 21 we will meet in the morning to bake Communion bread, make a large banner and rehearse (times to be announced). First Communion will be celebrated on Sunday, April 22, at the 10:30 a.m. liturgy. Children in 3rd grade and older who have not yet received instruction have several options.
