Greetings on behalf of the people of Messiah Lutheran Church.
Those
visiting this site will do this for a variety of reasons...you may
be looking for a church to worship in while on vacation in the Fort
Myers area or looking for a church to visit as a prospective
member, or you might be a member looking for the latest midweek
update or to check on news from the ELCA. For whatever reason,
welcome to Messiah's internet ministry. Because the web is easy to
surf for resources but not too personal, please feel free to follow
up your visit here with a call or an email for more information.
The staff at Messiah want to provide Christian hospitality and help
in any way possible. Messiah is in a very fast growing area of
North Fort Myers and we provide inspiring worship, conduct a highly
respected and much sought after early learning program that includes
the Florida certified voluntary pre-K program, and produce two
highly popular "dioramas" during the year. The dioramas are drive
through "theatre" where you view live scenes depicting the Nativity
story (early December) and the Passion story (just prior to Holy
Week). Leave your "virtual" visit behind and join us for worship
and mission here at Messiah.
Please keep in prayer: Marilyn Ferrand (undergoing
medical tests), Jennifer Furber (daughter of Carol & Bob
Beck) who is about 5 months pregnant and recent tests show
some concern about the baby's health...more testing will be
done next week), and Cal Peterson (Cape Coral) recovering
from surgery on Tuesday.
Letter from Bishop Hanson: This link will take you
to an informative and inspiring letter from Bishop Mark
Hanson, who tries to address the anxiety in some parts of
the ELCA over the upcoming Churchwide Assembly and the
resolutions having to do with sexuality/homosexuality in
particular. Bp. Hanson does not promote an opinion...he
just addresses the issue of anxiety.

Our own conversation: This Sunday, I will begin to
address those issues as we continue our conversations about
proposed actions to come before the assembly in August.
Even if you haven't participated up to this point, I
encourage you to come to the conversation THIS Sunday
following the 9:30 service and the coffee hour (we'll begin
about 11:00 am).
Passion Diorama DVD's: will be available for those
who ordered them following worship on July 11 & 12. We do
have some extras that will be available on a first-come,
first-served basis.
In
Christ,
