For this reason they are before the throne of God and worship him day and night within his temple, and the one who is seated on the throne will shelter them. - Revelation 7:15

Dear siblings in Christ,

This Sunday is one of the most sacred days of the year in the Christian tradition, All Saints Sunday, when we celebrate the Good News that all our forebears and ancestors continue to work and worship alongside us, bound up in Christ as one flock in something the Church calls “the communion of the saints.”

And my gosh, thank goodness our saints are with us, because we have A LOT of work to do this Sunday! While the warm weather has led to the leaves not being down yet, we’re going to need everyone in the congregation’s help to remove EVERYTHING from the Youth Room and Sunday School Room as replacement of our old asbestos floor will begin next Thursday!!!!

Finally, with a massive thanks for your generosity, we’ve already raised $137,200 in commitments towards our $140,000 Centennial Appeal, so if you haven’t yet submitted a Statement of Intent, please do so this Sunday and help but us over the top as we along with all our saints build a house of faith for future generations!

Thank you, dear friends, for all you do in Christ’s name, and see you this Sunday, at Messiah!

In hope,
Pastor Dustin

Life together in our Spirit filled congregation grounded in Jesus Christ.

Y’alll are amazing!!! With just commitments received today, we have reached over 98% of the $140,000 goal of our Messiah at 100 Centennial Campaign to replace our roof, replace our HVAC system and renovate our Youth Wing!

Thanks be to God for your generosity and if you have not yet made a Statement of Intent towards our Centennial Appeal and our 2027 Annual Fund please reach out to Pastor Dustin or Financial Secretary Tracy Heller today!

Help put us over the finish line! Every dollar raised above what’s needed to complete our renovation work will go towards reducing the remaining mortgage from our 2021 Accessibility Project!

Thanks be to God for all the amazing ways you serve our Rotterdam neighbors in Christ’s name!

Rooted in the past and growing into the future, the church must always be reformed to live out the love of Christ in an ever-changing world. We celebrate the good news of God’s grace: Jesus Christ sets us free every day to do this life-transforming work. Trusting in the freedom given to us in baptism, we pray for the church so that Christians will unite more fully in worship and mission. This is a particularly meaningful Reformation Sunday. After a meaningful Mission Moment from our Messiah at 100 Steering Committee, all members of the congregation will be asked to make Statements of Intent regarding financial and volunteer support toward both our Messiah at 100 Centennial Appeal and our ongoing ministries in 2027. Pastor Dustin will preach and preside. Mass will begin with 15 minutes of music & meditation.
