We’re Updating the Church Directory!
Over the coming weeks, we’ll be creating a new, updated Church Directory! For this, we need you and your family’s photo and information, if you wish to be included. Please send an email to Amy Koopman at admin@redeemermpls.org including as much of the following information as you’re comfortable sharing: A recent family photo, your names, birthdays (we’d love to know your kids’ ages!), address, phone number, email address. If you do not have or cannot provide a family photo, feel free to grab Amy after church or stop by the church office anytime Monday - Thursday between 10am and 4pm, and she can take one for you. Songs for Sanctuary, September 16th Redeemer partner congregation Our Saviour's Lutheran Church is hosting "Songs for Sanctuary" on Friday, September 16th at 7pm, a free-will offering fundraiser to respond with beauty and support to the needs of immigrants in our midst.

On September 24th at 3:00pm, that ride will culminate in the celebration of Babette's ordination as pastor in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.
