Welcome Messiah Lutheran Church
We are located in Point Place, part of Toledo, Ohio.
We have a long history as a
fishing community. Our
community members work
hard to fulfill the needs of
their families
As Jesus told Peter and
his brother, tending their
fishing trade along the shores
of the Sea of Galilee, to
"Come, follow me, and I will
make you fishers of men ",
(Matthew 4:18-20),
we here at Messiah Lutheran Church are also the Lord's "fishers".
We open our arms and hearts to all who want to learn and be part of those
who live in the "light" of God's love,forgiveness and promise of eternal life.
As a fisherman, fishing to feed himself and his family, also find peace and the
wonders of God's day and creations, we, and you, will find peace walking in
God's light and bringing that light to others.
Come and be a fisher for God along with us at Messiah. Feed yourself and
help us feed the hungry sitting along the shore needing to be fed; needing
to be "nourished" with the food of life and needing to find the peace that
only God's food and promise of forgiveness and everlasting life can bring.
March is the month of shamrocks, rainbows and Irish blessing
for a good life. However, the greatest blessing is the one God
gave us in the life, death and resurrection of His son Jesus Christ.
Through this Lenten season, we give special remembrance
and honor to this later part of his life beginning Ash Wednesday
and through Holy Week.
Holy Week consisting of Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday,
Good Friday, The Great Vigil of Saturday and Easter
will be remembered and honored with special worship services.
Tuesday Evening (7pm) and Wednesday (11)am)
we will have a special Lenten Service as part of Holy·Week.
The theme is
WORDS THAT LAST FOREVER.
Each week will concentrate on one special word.
Forsaken...Paradise...Thirst...Behold...Finish
May God give you...
For every storm, a rainbow,
For every tear, a smile,
For every care, a promise,
And a blessing in each trial.
For every problem life sends,
A faithful friend to share,
For every sigh, a sweet song,
And an answer for each prayer.
