"Sharing Christ's Love with the Greatest Number of People"

Redeemer Lutheran Church

January 19, 2024

 

Greetings!

We begin with words of thanksgiving! Thank you to everyone who contributes financially to our mission and ministry. We were able to meet our expenses for 2023 and look forward to what we can accomplish in the coming year. Every gift is valuable and every gift enables us to share Christ’s love with the greatest number of people. 


Sunday, January 21 – Third Sunday After Epiphany

Come and worship with us in person or from the comfort of your home. We worship every Sunday at 8:30 am, 9:45 am, and 11 am. The first two services are livestreamed and then posted on our Redeemer Video Channel. 


Worship is the work of the people so there are always opportunities for you to participate. Each week we need greeters, ushers, and readers for all three services. In addition, we need acolytes for the traditional services and an assisting minister for the contemporary service. We also need volunteers to help the residents from Sunrise attend our 11 am service. Our volunteers meet them in the lobby of Sunrise at 10:40 am. Thank you to everyone who volunteers to help!
