Meet and Greet the Pastoral Candidate
Evening Prayer followed by Q&A
Saturday, 4 pm to 6 pm
Please join us tomorrow to meet and greet our pastoral candidate and his wife. We will meet outside from 4 pm to 4:30 pm in front of the church. The members of the Call Committee will prepare some snacks and refreshments! At 4:30 pm we will gather in our worship space for Evening Prayer that will also commemorate the 20th Anniversary of 9/11. Our pastoral candidate will lead us through the service and offer a brief reflection.
After the service we will stay in our worship space to learn more about the candidate. In the August newsletter I offered details on why the Call Committee and Council believe this candidate would serve well at Redeemer. In the September newsletter I answered the questions we received so far about the call process and the potential role of the Associate Pastor.
We are using Saturday night to answer other questions you have prior to the vote. We will also share the details of the compensation package. We hope that most people will attend in person but for those not yet comfortable in our worship space, here is the link for the live streaming.
On Saturday if you are watching from home and have a question you can email me immediately, and I will pass on those questions in live time. Once we adjourn for the night, I will post our time together as a video. You will be able to find it on the Redeemer Channel.
Sunday Worship - September 12
Worship services are at 8:30 am (traditional) , 9:45 am (contemporary), and 11:00 am (traditional). The pastoral candidate and I will share leadership in all three services. He will offer the Children's Message and sermon. For this week only, all three services will be livestreamed. We will allow the livestreaming to continue so people watching from home can watch the Congregational meeting.
We continue to hope that most people will be able to worship in person. You can sign-up here. For those who want to vote in person but not attend the services, we recommend that you watch one of the services and then come to the church at 9:15 am or 10:30 am or 11:45 am. We will have chairs set up in the Crossroads. We will also accommodate those who do not want to physically enter the church building.
I will meet with all parents of 7th and 8th Graders to outline the Confirmation Program for 2021-2022. I have made some changes to how we do things so please attend as you are able. Here is the Zoom link.
