1 T HE MESSIAH MESSENGER MAY 2017 Hebrews 12: Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight and the sin that clings so closely, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us, 2 looking to Jesus the pioneer and perfecter of our faith, who for the sake of the joy that was set before him endured the cross, disregarding its shame, and has taken his seat at the right hand of the throne of God. Happy Birthday, Messiah! 60 years old! We have been talking about this for months, and it is here! Our celebration on May 12 is unlike any other anniversary celebration we have done instead of focusing on having a banquet or something where we just recall where we have been, we decided to put the focus on this beautiful neighborhood we continue to be a part of. In recent weeks as I have thumbed through the archives and pictures of the history of this place, I found myself remembering lots of the things that have happened over Messiah s life with a variety of feelings. We had no shortage of difficult times. We also had some amazingly good times. We have good people here; we always have had. And the people that are no longer with us are part of a larger community that we all belong to the family of God. Here are some fun facts about Messiah (you will be able to see many mementos of Messiah s past on display in our Fellowship Hall over the next few weeks.) Messiah was initially formed as a mission church of the United Lutheran Church. Reverend Ralph Sandgren, who had been serving in Columbus, moved over to Billings as the mission developer in order to do the work of beginning this new church plant. He spent time visiting with near neighbors, though our original building (the little white building across the parking lot that now serves as an AA house through a private owner) was surrounded by more pastureland than homes and a big part of his job was making folks aware that a new church would be coming to the area. In the fall of 1956, interested people began gathering at Rocky Mountain College s Tech Building. The first worship service was at the end of September with 51 people in attendance. From there they moved from changing interest to commitment and on May 12, 1957, the church was chartered with the bishop of the Northwest Synod preaching in the morning and First English Lutheran s pastor, John Shannon, serving as guest speaker at the organizational Vesper Service that evening. Attendance was required in the morning service to be listed on the charter, and that service included reception of charter members by baptism, young people s confirmation, adult confirmation, transfers, and renewal of faith. Phew! Ground was broken for the building on June 30 th of that year. Messiah has had 15 different pastors (including a couple of interims) over the course of its history. Our current building was constructed in 1974 and dedicated in Plans for our Fellowship Hall began in 1998 and it has been pure blessing. As our congregation has aged, we are all grateful for not being in the basement for coffee hours and social events. It is impossible to make a full history of this community. So much has happened, and it appears we are not done yet. The goal is to look toward our future without longing for the over and gone past. What will Messiah be? How can we continue to live into the future and boldly proclaim our faith to those we encounter? For the past several years, the Montana Synod has had that as the number one goal for the congregations it serves: Meet the future boldly. That means taking risks for the gospel. That means not letting fear paralyze us, not letting it incapacitate us, not let it have the last say. (Bishop Crist) Looking at the future always occurs with some trepidation. We simply do not, cannot know what the future holds for any of us or the things, places and people near and dear to us. Messiah is near and dear to all our hearts. Continue to hold it in prayer as we journey forward in this not-yet-complete race we began 60 years ago. Jesus, still lead on til our rest be won. heav nly leader still direct us, still support, console, protect us, till we safely stand in the promised land. (verse 4, ELW 624) text: Nicolaus von Zinzendorf ( )

4 Messiah s Monday Quilters finished 29 quilts for Lutheran World Relief this year. The quilts are being packed to send on May 13. Every other Monday at 1:00, these women gather to piece, back, sandwich and tie these gift offerings. Thank you, ladies! (Guys, you could do this too!) Each year we try to put together a few more no talent required, all are welcome! Please come join us. Check the calendar or call the church for schedule if you are interested in joining us. (This year, we sent 2 of our quilts went to the Rocky Boy Reservation in response to their appeal for twin size quilts for their cabins.) Special K Ranch will be selling their plants once again at the Billings Ace Hardware stores. Residents will be at the individual stores from 10-2 on these dates: Saturdays, May 6, 13, and 20 th at the Zimmerman and Laurel stores; May 27 at the Heights and Lockwood stores. Neighborhood Literature Drop for anniversary we plan to drop off flyers about our anniversary celebration to homes in the neighborhood surrounding Messiah. If you are willing to walk a few blocks, pick up flyers at the church and mark off on the map where you will be going. If you would like to join with someone else to do so, please visit with Karen Duncan.

It s fitting that it is spring, a time of growth and change. The students are anxiously awaiting the change of going to kindergarten or being a big kid here at school next fall. It is already our last month of preschool for the year. It s exciting and sad at the same time. We will see twenty of our students leaving us. Two are military families who are being stationed somewhere new. In May, we get to take a field trip with all of our graduates. We will spend the day together at Zoo Montana. We are also hosting a celebration brunch for our graduates (upstairs) on Wednesday the 24 th. In the fall, we will have returning students who finally get to be the big kids. We are already full in that class and about half full in our two day class. We would like to share a big thank you to Jessie Neimantsverdriedt for her three years with us. Jill Fitzgerald will be our full time help next fall as Jessie goes on to do her design work full time. Thanks to the mothers who stepped in to help us with all of our fun days or extra projects. We also need to thank the members of Messiah for blessing us with this space and your donations. As always, we thank you for your support and prayers each school year. It has been a terrific year of learning and growing together here at Messiah s preschool! Marianne
