Habitat Home Dedication

This week members of Messiah Lutheran Church along with other Huntsville area Lutheran Churches helped dedicate a new home for the Cowan family. In just three months an empty field was transformed into a home. This home was constructed in conjunction with Habitat For Humanity and Thrivent Builds.  Many thanks to all of the Messiah members who donated their time and talent to help build this wonderful house. In early 2011 we will begin a new home and hope that more members of Messiah will have and opportunity to participate in this great project.

"Lord, Use Me" - Music Camp 2010

This week, 41 children from Messiah Lutheran Church participated in an original musical production entitled "Lord, Use Me" during the Church's annual Music Camp. Music Camp is a week long event in which the youth practice during the week and then perform during both Sunday worship services.  "Lord, Use Me" teaches that God can and does use us to be his messengers in this world.

In addition to practicing for the musical production, the children also enjoyed music, drama, arts and crafts, recreation, snacks and afternoon activities. If you watch the video above, you will easily be able to tell that the kids had a great time based on all of the smiles on their faces.

We give special thanks to the small army of adult and teen volunteers who helped make Music Camp a success this year.

The Music and Lyrics for "Lord, Use Me" were written by Pastor Scott Peterson and our Music Director, Lois Graff.
