Three families joined Messiah Lutheran on Sunday, November 8, 2009. We welcomed Chris & Jeannine Pattini, Steven & Alice Tye, and the Vitkavage family, Dan & Laura, Miriam, Tim & Luke into our church. Following the Divine Service there was a member meeting and reception in the fireside room.

The OWLS (Older Wiser Lutheran Seniors) are partying again. This time about 22 of us met for a potluck dinner and an evening of singing Christmas songs. Marianne Roundtree played the piano and led the singing. Food was great and Fellowship even better as you can see by these picture.

This year 20 Thanksgiving dinner food baskets were prepared and given to the needy in our our community. The need this year is much greater than previous years and we were able to double last years giving.

Several women within the congratulation organized a food drive, collected cash and food donations both within Messiah and surrounding grocery stores. Baskets were prepared and distributed to the needy so they would enjoy a traditional thanksgiving dinner. These photos were taken on Sunday (11/15) following the Divine Service while the baskets were being prepared for delivery and pickup. Thanks to all who helped make this this program a success.
