Church of the Redeemer

Raise your hand if you had a great time at Umuganda Day ✋🏽 Thank you to everyone who came out on Saturday--we got SO much done!! O merciful Creator, your loving hand is open wide to satisfy the needs of every living creature: Make us always thankful for your loving providence, and give us grace to honor you with all that you have entrusted to us; that we, remembering the account we must one day give, may be faithful stewards of your good gifts; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who with you and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Come hang out with the Weber family tomorrow afternoon (9/13, 3-6pm)! There will be a meet & greet at Oak Hollow Park (Shelter #1) where you can get to know Ben, Cherie & their family & hear about their work with Friends of Gahini (our partnership in Rwanda). There will be a playground close to the shelter for the kids to play on. We’ll see you tomorrow! You can learn more about our partnership in Rwanda at redeemergso.org/rwanda.

**4 DAYS UNTIL UMUGANDA DAY** On Umuganda Day, we take on projects big & small all across our property. One of our bigger projects has been on the 🌱GLOBAL GARDEN🌱 This garden, which will house various crops native to East Africa & other parts of the world, has been a labor of love over the last few Umuganda Days & it's been so fun to see the many hands making this dream a reality (swipe through to see the progression). This Saturday, we'll have a team working on the next phase: RAISED GARDEN BEDS. 👉If you want to join this team or any of our other projects, visit redeemergso.org to learn more about Umuganda Day & register!

Welcome to the 14th class of @greensborofellows 🎉 We can’t wait to get to know them & see how the Lord will work in their lives these next 9 months! Let’s be praying for them as they get used to a new city, new people, new homes, new church, & new jobs! We’re so glad you’re here Mary, Olivia, Michael, Katie, & Morgan 💙

What a delight to have the Weber family worshiping with us yesterday & hear more about their work in Rwanda! ——————————— PRAYER REQUEST for our Rwanda Partnership: Today is the first day of school in Rwanda. Please pray for all children and teachers, but especially those who are in the church schools in the Gahini Diocese. With so many churches still closed, this will be the main way the churches spread the gospel and disciple children this year. Pray for the 40 children that are being sponsored by Friends of Gahini this year and specifically for the 10 that Redeemer is sponsoring!

Welcome back @theweberworld! 🇷🇼 The Weber family is back from Rwanda for the next few months & we get to worship with them this Sunday! Ben & Cherie are co-directors of Friends of Gahini, a partnership in Rwanda born out of Redeemer's long friendship with our sister diocese in Gahini. This Sunday, we'll get to hear Ben preach & we'll show a video about Friends of Gahini that was filmed during one of our annual visits in August 2024. We're excited to see our friends & show you the good work the Lord is doing through this partnership! 📆 MEET THE WEBERS: On Saturday, 9/13, 3-6pm, join us at Oak Hollow Park (Shelter #1) in High Point to spend time with the Weber family! Whether it's to reconnect with old friends or getting to meet them for the first time, all are welcome! Bring your own snacks/drinks & come hang out! 👉 LEARN MORE about our partnership in Rwanda @ redeemergso.org/rwanda

10 days until UMUGANDA DAY! These days are not simply a church workday. Umuganda Days were inspired by our sister diocese in Gahini, Rwanda, where entire communities across Rwanda come together on the last Saturday of each month to work together on community projects. Why? It isn't just about community beautification--it's about fostering community identity through a shared purpose of working together. So let us come together for our next Umuganda Day on Saturday, September 13th (7:45am-1pm)! You can find all the details & register at redeemergso.org/now
