Messiah Lutheran Church

Messiah is a welcoming and caring family of God
centered in the Good News of Jesus.
Our mission is to educate, equip, and energize believers
to serve as disciples engaged in mission.
 

Do you want to honor Christ’s body? Then do not scorn him in his nakedness, nor honor him here in the church with silken garments while neglecting him outside where he is cold and naked. Of what use is it to weigh down Christ’s table with golden cups, when he himself is dying of hunger? First, fill him when he is hungry; then use the means you have left to adorn his table. Will you have a golden cup made, but not give a cup of water? Do not, therefore, adorn the church and ignore your afflicted brother, for he is the most precious temple of all.

—John Chrysostom
