Mary was raised in Exeter and Lee hails from Minnesota. They met while they were working in Arizona and it was love at first sight. After many successful businesses, they moved to Maine to care for Mary’s aging mother. It was then that they first visited Messiah. “Our first impression was not what I expected at all. I kept waiting to kneel down and I wasn’t used to the singing. Over the years, we found that we were growing; this church has changed out lives in every way.” Messiah has opened a new world of salvation and life in Christ. “We now have a family and a new circle of friends.” As soon as Mary’s mother died, they had planned to leave Maine, but now they are staying put. “It’s like we are being held in the vice grip of the love of Jesus and the wonderful love of our brothers and sisters in Christ here at Messiah.”
