We like to keep you updated with everything that’s going on here at Redeemer! So, each week we film a pastoral update video and send out our Redeemer Weekly email. We also share updates and exciting things going on throughout the week on our Facebook and Instagram pages. You can check out our calendar for a fuller schedule of events, but here on our RedeemerNOW page are the major things we think you should know about now!
1st Annual Celebration, June 2nd
In the past, we've had annual meetings in the evenings, but this year we want this time to be more than a meeting—it should be an opportunity to come together as one worshipping, missional community to celebrate all that the Lord is doing in our church. And so, we are so excited to announce that we'll be having our first Annual Celebration on Sunday, June 2nd!
We will start that day by worshipping with ALL of our services together at 9am, then we will move into our annual meeting and celebrate what the Lord has done in the life of Redeemer. We’ll then enjoy a potluck lunch together and continue the celebration fun with bouncy houses, sweet treats, and more! (Childcare and children’s classes will be available during both the worship service and meeting).
This is going to be our largest internal event ever so plan on arriving early (as early as 8:30am) to park, check in yourself and your children, drop off your potluck dish, and settle in to worship!
There are more details in the link below and please register to help us make preparations for the day!
Rogation Procession & Feast, May 15th
Every year, in the week before Pentecost we spend time in prayer for God to bless the work of our ministry (known as Rogation Days). We invite you throughout the week before Pentecost to be in prayer for Church of the Redeemer to be empowered by the Holy Spirit in all of the work we are doing. But specifically we want to invite you out for a Rogation Processional on Wednesday, May 15th at 6pm. around the property. We will say prayers of blessing around the various areas which represent all aspects of our church's ministry. Afterwards, we will have a potluck dinner together in the Greenhouse.

Join a Care Team: Handy Helpers & Mercy Meals
Our Care Team is recruiting people to help provide assistance to folks in need! Are you strong or handy with tools? Join Handy Helpers! Enjoy whipping things up in the kitchen? Sign up for the Mercy Meals team! We'd love to have you join to be the hands and feet of Jesus in this way!
Whenever a need arises, whether it’s for some physical assistance or a meal for someone who's sick or has welcomed a new baby, these teams will receive an email letting them know about the need, and whoever is available to help can respond (being a part of one of these teams doesn't mean you're signing up to help every time, it just let’s our pastoral care team know you’d like to be involved).
If you have any questions, please reach out to our pastoral care resident, Ana Howland.
Stage Renovations & Altar Furniture Fund
We are looking at doing some much needed updates to the front of the sanctuary for safety, beauty, and functionality. We are rebuilding the stage, and building a new pulpit and credence table. We expect the cost to be around $10,000-15,000. If you would like to contribute towards this to help meet this need, you can give online below or through cash or check (just be sure to designate the donation under “Stage Renovation”).
