Bible Class Opportunities
THE GOSPEL OF MARK-A verse by verse study of the basic teachings of Jesus. THE UPPER ROOM—is a lively, discussion based class. Thoughts, ideas and wisdom are shared each week. We are very pleased to share The Upper Room Bible Study via Podcast. Subscribe today at: messiahlutheranpodcast.com/subscribe FOCUS—is a small group that goes through the Bible one book, one chapter, one verse at a time. Our mission is to lead a comprehensive understanding of the Word of God. ASK ANYTHING-this class centers around a box where you can submit your questions about anything! Each week we use the Bible to find biblically based answers to all of our questions.
GMC– It’s time to refresh and rediscover what it means to be “like Jesus” and find true authenticity, a healthy self-image, and compassion for others in an age when we relate to each other so differently than ever before. This study looks at the effects of social media on our emotions and friendships. It also offers real-life examples of how we struggle with screens and likes and how these things mask our struggles with who we really are, and how we can reclaim a Christ-centered life. MOSAICS-Messiah Mosaics is a class geared at anyone in their 30s or 40s, married or single. This is a discussion based class that examines how God's Word influences our daily walk with Christ. MEET MESSIAH-If you would like to know about Messiah, meet at the Guest Information Desk at 9:30am. A few of our members will take you on a tour of our campus and answer questions you may have about our church.
Maps to the Education Building can be found at the Guest Information Desk in the Lobby.

Braille Ministry - at Messiah Lutheran Church Throughout FEBRUARY Help Bring the Light of Jesus To the Blind Messiah’s Braille Production Center is part of national Lutheran Braille Workers (LBW). Teams from Messiah, Lord of Life, and St Paul Lutheran Churches meet for 1.5 - 2 hours once per month. We currently produce 15 books of “Luke” and 20 books each of “Matthew I & II”, monthly. In 2019, we sent 660 Bible Braille books throughout the world. We could produce many more with your help. Lutheran braille workers need additional funds to replace outdated equipment. To support this global ministry and/or to volunteer: See our display on the Social Ministries and Outreach table across from the Gift Shop and/or contact Nancy Huett at (H) 972-596-6450 or [email protected]
Lutheran Braille Workers (LBW) was founded in 1943. Publications are distributed free of charge in more than 130 countries around the globe. Lutheran Braille Workers produces Braille Bibles in Amharic, Arabic, French, Indonesian, Kiswahili, Latvian, Malayalam, Russian, Spanish, and English Contracted Braille. In addition to offering Christian materials in over 30 languages, our continuous goal is to add more languages. There are more than 35 million people throughout the world who are blind,
and an additional 205+ million people who are severely visually impaired. Volunteers, mission-minded financial partners, and prayer warriors assist LBW in helping people teach the promises of Jesus, delivering God’s Word in formats they can read for themselves.
