Messiah St. Charles

If you or someone you know is experiencing food insecurity, Messiah wants to point you to the community resources that we support to help our neighbors. In St. Charles, contact Sts. Joachim and Ann Care Service. In St. Louis, we partner with Bethlehem Lutheran Church.

Flip through for contact information.

Thank you to our congregation for bringing in food and to the Community Groups who hosted this drive.

You just never know when or where the shark costumes from the first Jingle Jam show will make an appearance. Our finned friends have made a career out of pointing kids to Jesus. This time in Poland.

Pastor Jim and Hannah shared some tips on Sunday of how to encourage your kids to grow in their faith. These brief summaries don't do their teachings justice. Check out the full message from online at YouTube.com/MessiahStCharles

Update from Poland mission team member Maisen:
"Sunday was an amazing day filled with worship, friendship, and excitement for day camp. It never fails to amaze me the joy and love I feel here in Jastrzębie. God is truly doing wonderful things all over the world especially here in Poland. We spent the day making our final preparations for day camp and getting to know one another and this team that God has called together. I cannot wait to see what God has in store for us this week at day camp and all of the people and campers we will get to meet!"

Day Camp Jastrzębie

What a great start to our summer food drive for Bethlehem Lutheran Church and Sts. Joachim and Anne Care Service. Our Community Groups will be collecting items next Sunday as well. Scroll through for the shopping lists.

We're all about the next generation at Messiah. It's in our DNA! On Sunday, Pastor Jim and Hannah Lang, our Director of Kids Ministry, will be teaching on how our church can encourage kids to treasure our shared faith--and grow in their own relationship with Jesus!

Pray for safe travel on Friday for our mission team!
