A Lot Happening This Sunday!
This Sunday, December 11th, we have a lot of exciting events happening!
During the worship service, the Sunday school class and Nursery will be presenting the annual Christmas pageant and we will be celebrating the baptism of Elijah, Josiah, Isaiah, and Shanyiah (the grandchildren of Paul Palacio).
After the service, the annual budget meeting will take place in the Sanctuary. The 2017 budget will need to be approved by the end of the meeting.
 
Pastor Kelly to Receive Steinbruck Award
Finally, following worship and the budget meeting, Pastor Kelly will be receiving the inaugural John Steinbruck Leadership Award for distinguished service in social ministry.  Bianca Valdez, who works at the Steinbruck Center, will travel from Washington D.C. to present the award. There will be a potluck celebration to follow the presentation of the award.
Please bring a side dish or salad to share!
 
Redeemer After School Program Giving Tree
The RAP kids, with help from Katherine, have made a giving tree!  Please visit the givingtree in the entry area of the church and explore the donations and gifts that RAP needs.  If you'd like to donate an item, just take a leaf home, purchase the item and bring the item back to church!  Questions...Talk to Pastoral Intern, Alissa.
