Our Journeys of Faith: Soup Supper and Worship
This Wednesday we continue our mid-week lenten service at Redeemer. The meal begins at 6:00pm but arrive when you can get there. At 7:00pm - we will sing, pray and participate in table conversation. This year we are hearing from voices within Redeemer about their faith journeys. In our table conversations we’ll reflect on our own spiritual lives; the struggles, questions and experiences that have led us to where we are now. We hope you’ll bring the honest questions and longings that are on your heart. We also hope that you will invite friends and family for these great gatherings. You can spread the word by inviting friends to the FB Event.  We hope to see you there!

Take it from Amy!
Amy Brandt, Redeemer’s Stewardship Councilperson says, “Redeemer members should use Action Teams because they are easy and fun to utilize! They can be used for a variety of activities, and are very easy to apply for.” Thrivent Action Team volunteers receive $250 to use for a service, education, or fundraising event. Currently, we are looking for Action Teams to provide meals for and eat with our youth; contact Mary, as below, for times and dates.
