In connection with our June sermon series, You’ve Got a Friend in Me, join us for a special drive-in movie experience! We’ll be showing a family-friendly movie from our current series on the big screen right in our Messiah Church parking lot. This event is FREE, however a ticket is required as space is limited!
The parking lot will open at 8:30 pm for vehicle placement and the movie will begin at approximately 9 pm. In case of inclement weather, we will reschedule. (Please visit www.MessiahChurch.org/drive-in-movie-night for up-to-date weather information for our Drive-In Movie Night.)
Due to copyright restrictions, we are not able to advertise the title of the movie we'll be showing. But trust us, it's great! However, if you'd like to know in advance, you can email Carolyn Loeffler at [email protected]. This movie is rated G, has a total runtime of 1 hour 40 minutes, and is presented under license from Christian Video Licensing.
During our Drive-In Movie Night, we will be collecting food and cash donations to support families in need in neighborhoods of Minneapolis, which can be dropped off from the safety of your car. Check donations should be made out to Messiah Church (indicate "Minneapolis Relief" in the memo line). Please bring any donations in paper bags or boxes so that our servants can safely collect them. Any donation is appreciated, although not required.

Then on Sunday, June 28, tune in live at 8:45 or 10:30 am (www.MessiahChurch.org/live) or on demand anytime for Pastor Steve's message based on the Toy Story movies entitled Who Am I? The great existential question of life: Who am I and why am I here? Who would have thought that a Toy Story movie would point us toward that question and the answer? Let’s consider what happens when we find a purpose. Friendship is one way that leads us to that answer as we will see in a story about “forky” and a powerful message from scripture.
