EPIC Returns April 9

Come discover the EPIC adventure God has in store for you!  Join a lot of other fellow adventurers exploring their role to play in the epic story God has been telling since before the creation of the world!  Over fifty people participated in our first ever session last Fall.  Messiah’s Spring Session of EPIC begins Wednesday, April 9 at 7:00 p.m. with a gathering time in the sanctuary.  “EPIC Noise,” our house band, will rock God’s House with songs of praise and worship, followed by refreshments (food for your journey!) en route to 3-4 “ventures” scattered throughout the church.  Invite a friend to join you at any of the following:
