Faith Matters Newsletter Survey // We are conducting a survey on the impact and content of our monthly Faith Matters Newsletter. We’d love your feedback! If you’re not a current reader, take a look through the current and previous issues at our website. If you are a regular reader, take the survey here.

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 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 Koopman after church or stop by the church office anytime Monday - Thursday between 10am and 4pm, and Amy can take one for you.

We Need Your (and Your Kids’) Original Artwork & Photography // We are trying something new in the upcoming weeks: Rather than using standard clip-art for our weekly bulletins we’ll be featuring congregant artwork, photography, and drawings. This is open to everyone - children, youth, adults. Please submit your artwork, photography, paintings, or drawings to admin@redeemermpls.org. We’ll do our best to use everything we get (and attribute your work accordingly)!

Generosity begins with you... and a Thrivent Action Team to help you get started. Thrivent has many ideas for ways you can help the Redeemer community with an education, fundraising, or service project. Your Team will receive $250 seed money to help with your project.
