​Redeemer Holy Hoops team will play on Sunday, March 6th at Christ the King Lutheran in New Brighton, MN. One team will play at 1:45p.m. with the other team playing at 3:00p.m.

Join us for Lenten soup and service on Wednesday nights throughout the Lenten season. Community members provide soup at 6:00p.m.  We are still looking for volunteers to bring soup; there is a sign up sheet in the fellowship hall. The service begins at 7:00p.m., which includes Holden evening prayer and a community discussion of racism/oppression.
 
Just a reminder that we will start choir rehearsals for Easter Sunday this coming Sunday, March 6th at 9:15 am.  There will be three rehearsals over the next few weeks on Sunday mornings:
3/6:  9:15 in the Sanctuary
3/20:  9:15 in the Sanctuary
3/27:  9:15 in the Sanctuary
 Please contact Alyssa (alyssaschwitzer@gmail.com) or Kent (kgoodroad@gmail.com) if you have any questions.  
 
Pray for the Redeemer youth and leaders who are going to the Do-Justice retreat this weekend (March 4-5) at Bay Lake Camp. The purpose of the retreat is to engage young leaders, from different congregations and contexts across the metro, in conversation and shared learning, while working toward solutions through advocacy and education. The retreat will focus on the issues surrounding race, inequality, and stereotypes that continue to cause outrage in communities across the United States and leave us wondering how we as Christians are called to respond in a broken world.
 
Mark your calendar: The next H-Cubed will be on Friday, March 18 from 6-9PM at Venture North. This month’s theme will be identity.
