Greetings!
It is a busy week! We look forward to the Pancake Supper on Tuesday from 6-7 pm followed by a brief service when we will bury the "Alleluias" and burn the palms from the last Palm Sunday service. Please remember to bring your palms to the dinner.
Ash Wednesday services are at 12 pm and 7:30 pm. Council will host a dinner at 6:30 pm prior to worship. Join us as you are able for these opportunities to break bread together and worship together! For those who cannot attend in-person, here is the livestreaming link for the 7:30 pm service.
Sunday, March 2 - Transfiguration of Our Lord - 8:30 am, 9:45 am, and 11 am
Come and be with us as we hear God's Word and receive Holy Communion. Each week we depend on our worship leaders to help with the services. On Sunday we need a reader for the 8:30 am service and a reader and acolyte for the 11 am service. We thank all those who volunteer each week!

Interim Pastor Survey
Council is asking for your input prior to their meeting on March 10. Pastor Sarah Garret Krey, Assistant to the Bishop, will be present to talk about the next steps for the congregation that includes discussion about an interim pastor. Please provide your thoughts on what we hope some of the priorities will be for the interim pastor's time with us. We will need this survey returned to us by March 5. Paper copies are available in the Crossroads.
Count our Blessings during Lent
Redeemer’s Social Outreach Ministry has created a way for us during Lent to count the many blessings in our lives. Each day individuals and families are invited to answer the question assigned to that day and give thanks. Please find the calendar and list version attached below. Pastor will also highlight it in the Children's Message this week.
