Welcome to our special
Pastor's Page
Pastor's Page
Messiah Evangelical Lutheran Church has gone through many changes from major building reconstructions, increased involvement of lay congregation members in worship services, to pastoral leadership. All of these changes, with God's help, have moved us forward in our own spiritual growth and ministry as well as into our local community and far beyond bringing the Good News of Jesus Christ and God's promises and Word given to us all.
On this page, our pastor will help us in this evangelizing ministry with articles of importance, concerns and issues.

Pastor Getzinger and her husband, Jim, have been married
almost 35 years and have two grown sons, Josh and Andy,
who no longer live at home.
When not attending to pastoral duties, Pastor especially
enjoys cross stitching and watching the picture growing bigger and
more alive. Pastor Getzinger relates this to our own faith journey
as day by day we grow in Christ walking together this journey
called "Life".
We welcome Pastor Getzinger and look forward to her
"faith journey" leadership.

A Time of
Reflection
Reflection
We are now well into the New Year and Ash Wednesday on February 22 marks the beginning of Lent.
Lent is a time of reflection; a time to reflect on where is God in our lives, reflect on what we give God, and what do we do for God for the benefit of others. However, most importantly, as we move through the Lenten season, we reflect on the treasured gift that God has given to each one of us – his Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord. In Christ’s death and resurrection, we have hope for tomorrow and beyond.
