Social Statement on “Government and Civic Engagement”

In the June Tidings (newsletter) I will offer a reflection on ELCA Social Statements. A new one is being written called “Government and Civic Engagement.” For those who are interested in giving your input on the topic, a virtual listening event will be held on Tuesday, May 24, from 8 to 9:15 pm EST and then again on Wednesday, May 25, from 8 to 9:15 pm EST. The event will center on the questions: What is important to you when you think about government? How do you think the church and the state should relate to each other? You can register through this link. The event is free of charge. When you register please note that it states the Central Standard Time.

It is a big day in the life of our church. At the 11 am service our choir will offer a special musical offering of Vivaldi’s “Gloria.” Please invite family and friends to the service. Immediately following the 11 am service is the Summer Bash. From 12 pm to 2 pm there will be food and games and the opportunity to engage with our church and community leaders about some of our ministries. Volunteers are needed to make the day run well. You can sign up here to volunteer.

And then at 3 pm the Opera Susquehanna will offer an abridged version of “Lohengrin” at Redeemer. It will be held in our worship space. For tickets go to http://www.operasusquehanna.org. The cost is $25. Some of the performers include Keith Craig (sings with us at 9:45 am for special events) and Scott and Leah Crowne (joined us for special events before they moved to Pennsylvania). Come and bring your family and friends.
