From Lost to Living: A Lenten Journey of Restoration

The talents of our actors, singers, set designers, and costumers are on full display during Messiah’s annual Dinner Theater performance.

A professional play or musical performance takes the stage while audience members enjoy an upscale meal prepared by church members.

The cost of tickets covers art licensing and a contribution to a local charity that rotates annually.

Summer
Ages: For students who have completed PK-5th Grade

Through games, crafts, and other fun activities, kids learn about this league of super-powered disciples, and how they set the example for us to become "super followers" of Jesus too.

In partnership with St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church in Madison.

Summer
Ages: rising K to 9th grade
Music Camp at Messiah is a full week of music, crafts, drama, and fun!

Each summer, campers spend five full days playing games and learning a different Bible-themed musical.
 After learning and rehearsing all week, they present their hard work for the congregation during Sunday morning worship service.

Other activities include field trips to museums, the pool or other recreation, and outreach ministry projects.

Fall
Messiah’s talented crafters and makers sell their wares at the annual Handmade Market to support the Lunches for Learning Mission in Honduras.

The market offers handcrafted jewelry, apparel, decor, food items, jewelry, and more. No admission or tickets required.

All items are donated to the sale by members of Messiah Lutheran Church to provide meals to food insecure elementary school students in Honduras.

If you are a local crafter who would like to support this sale by donating your handmade crafts, please call our office.

Fall
The talented quilters in Messiah’s Comforters group sew or crochet quilts, lap robes, and prayer shawls to bring comfort to those in need.

Most quilts are donated and distributed through Lutheran World Relief, to be used as warm bedding, simple tents, or floor coverings to those living in poverty.

A few quilts are held back to sell at our annual Quilt Sale.

The proceeds from that sale cover shipping costs for the donation, and supplies for our next set of quilts.

Fall
Messiah Lutheran Church pays homage to the German roots of the Lutheran church with its annual German Food Festival.
