"Sharing Christ's Love with the Greatest Number of People"
Redeemer Lutheran Church
 
Greetings in the name of Jesus Christ!  

Tonight, we gather at Redeemer for the Living Nativity and Christmas Concert. Please come and bring your family and friends. On Sunday we enter the 4th Sunday of Advent and gather again at 5 pm for the Blue Christmas service. All are welcome!  

We thank all the volunteers who will be busy this coming week preparing our worship space for Christmas.

Upcoming Worship Schedule
It is so important for us to do everything we can to always remain safe but especially on Christmas Eve. Please make sure you have signed up for the service you will attend (masks are required when in the church building and during our worship). Please delete your name if it is in an incorrect spot. If you have trouble deleting your name, please email or call the church office ([email protected]) and we will help you.  

We encourage everyone to come reasonably early to the service you signed up for so that you will have a place to sit in our worship space. We will not be removing the tape that keeps us socially distanced. Our overflow seating will be in the Crossroads.  

All services are in-person, and some will have livestreaming options:

  • Blue Christmas on Dec. 19th at 5 pm (All are welcome)
  • Christmas Eve services (4 pm, 6 pm, 8 pm, and 10 pm) (6 pm and 8 pm will be livestreamed)
  • Christmas Day at 10 am and will also be livestreamed.  
  • Sunday, December 26, one service at 10 am (Lessons and Carols and livestreamed)
  • Friday, December 31, we will enter the New Year with a service at 5 pm  
  • Sunday, January 2, one service at 10 am (livestreamed).  
  • We will return to our three services (8:30 am, 9:45 am, and 11 am) on Sunday, January 9.
