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.
| FEBRUARY In this month of February with it's thoughts and celebration of love, let us keep those thoughts to guide our lives each day. As Jesus the Christ set the example, |
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrong Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres." I CORINTHIANS 13:4-7 NIV |
February 17th begins this year the 40-day liturgical season
with Ash Wednesday and concluding with the Great Vigil of Easter.
Lent is considered a time of penance and discipline.
Join us Ash Wednesday for a special Worship Service at 11am.

Sending Financial Help to Haiti
As a result of the earthquake in Haiti, and that Port-au-Prince was so severely damaged, it is estimated that people only have a four-day supply of food and little or no clean water. I am asking you to join with me in collecting bottled water and toiletries to be sent over with disaster relief crews.
There will be a collection bin Messiah's Gathering Space.
