December 1st: Advent Festival directly after worship service.
Christmas in July
We are so grateful to all Santa’s helpers, especially
Joanne, Kris, & Jaci for the wonderful work they
put into all the little details. We appreciate anyone
that gave to the food pantry, brought a friend and
put on the silly glasses. A special thanks to Santa &
The Messiaette’s for making the day so special. It
was a lot of fun; how nice it is to keep things cool
when it is so hot.
Here are some photos of Messiah’s rendition of
Christmas in July.
Holy Week has started at Messiah Lutheran Church, Staten Island NY. Pastor Anna Gordy led the youth of the congregation into service with a procession of the Palms followed by the blessing of the Palms. A reading of the Passion Gospel (Mark 14:1 – 15:47) by members of the church including special guest reader Rev. Chris Mietlowski.
Another successful St. Patrick’s Dinner at Messiah Lutheran Church. Food, fellowship and raffles. Join us again next year as we carry on this wonderful tradition. Thank you to all who attended and to the organizers of the event.
Celebrating 100 Years
One Hundred Years! From Fabian Street to Jefferson Blvd., from Pastor Nordstrom to Pastor Squire, from 1923 to 2023, 100 years have passed in the life of the church. One hundred years transcribed in the decisions of hundreds of singular lives. The faces, the names, the personalities that animate an idea, that carry a faith that manifest each personal interpretation of one Theme—These make a church!
Happy 100th Anniversary Messiah!

CHRISTMAS-AT-SEA 2023
A Holiday Initiative
Once again members of the Messiah Lutheran Congregation spearheaded by JoAnn Nolemi have donated to the annual “Christmas at Sea”. What might otherwise have been another lonely night at sea during this pandemic becomes a joyous occasion, because complete strangers ashore have taken the time to share the spirit of Christmas with these otherwise invisible seafarers! Thank you tot the members of Messiah Lutheran and the Girl Scouts for putting together the satchels.
