Summer Worship
Join us for Sunday worship this summer at 9AM!
Throughout the summer starting Sunday, June 12, Messiah will only hold one Sunday worship service.
This change will give our Worship, Music, & Fine Arts and Media/Tech teams a chance to regroup and retrain before we return to our regular worship schedule in the fall.
Our 5 PM Saturday Zoom service will continue as scheduled.
We will resume our regular Sunday worship schedule with services at 8AM and 9:30AM on Sunday, September 11.

PADS Volunteers Needed for 2022
New in 2022:
PADS shelters are back in operation and they need your help! Volunteers to serve local homeless people are desperately needed.
The Chapel in Grayslake is now hosting the Saturday night shelter since they have a more suitable space, with room for social distancing. They are scheduling volunteers in the same way we used to through Sign Up Genius.
Please click on the link below to check out their needs. The page has 2 tabs, one for TCG (Grayslake) Saturday and another for TCL (Libertyville) Friday. They also have a document you can view describing the shifts as they are different from ours.
