MEAL TRAIN Sign Ups for McKinney and Canniff-Kesecker Families! // Bertha McKinney continues to heal well and recover, but she still needs some help with meals and there are still a few spots open in the meal train! Please sign up to help  at  https://mealtrain.com/981l6l 
Vicar Matt Canniff-Kesecker’s wife Aubrey is due to deliver their newborn daughter *any day now,* which gives Redeemer another opportunity to shower them with extra help as they transition into being a four-person family! We’ve set up a meal train to provide meals for them for the coming month, and you can sign up here: https://mealtrain.com/k7z8k0  For more information or if you have questions, contact Amy Koopman at the church office (admin@redeemermpls.org).

H-Cubed: HARRISON, HEALING, HARMONY this Friday, March 23rd // This month, our theme is "Seasonal of Renewal" and we will explore the question, "What do you want to nurture, blossom, or bring forward in your life?"

Emerging soul and funk ensemble, The Poetic Diaspora, will be the house band and we'll be serving free, fresh dishes from our favorite local caterer, Gerard Klass of Klassics. Come hungry! We'll feed your belly and your soul!  7:30-9:30PM Friday, March 23rd, Health Commons at the Living Room, 1716 Glenwood Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55405

March for Our Lives, March 24, 9am-12pm at State Capitol // On Saturday, March 24th, Redeemer congregants will join the Twin Cities for the national March for Our Lives to stand up to gun violence and demand sensible gun reform for the sake of our kids and communities. Those who want to attend will meet at Redeemer at 9am for prayer and a 9:30 am Redeemer bus departure. (Yes, you read that right: We’re renting a bus, so let’s fill it up!) If you plan to attend, please register here or on the Sign-Up Sheet on the back table at church on Sunday.

Twice-Monthly Sunday Fellowship Meals // We’re happy to announce that through the rest of the year, Redeemer will host meals after worship every second and last Sundays each month. Through these meals, we invite everyone to get to know other congregants and our Harrison neighbors better. If you’d like to sign up to bring a dish to share, please contact Bitta Gordon or Minister of Fellowship Steve Patnode. There will be a POTLUCK fellowship meal this Sunday, March 25th. Please bring a dish to share and join us after worship!

Easter Garden Flower Order // If you’d like to order Easter lilies, daffodils, tulips, hyacinth, or hydrangeas, please fill out one of the order forms in the bulletin or on the back table on the coming Sunday mornings.

Redeemer Women’s Fellowship & Meal Making Postponed to April 7th // Due to the March for Our Lives, Redeemer’s Women’s gathering has been moved to Saturday, April 7th from 10am-1pm. We will gather together in the church kitchen and fellowship hall to prepare freezer meals for Bertha McKinney and family. Women, mark your calendar and plan to join us!

Do you have $250 to throw away? // Probably not. However, each time a Redeemer event happens that could have been supported by a Thrivent Action Team and was not, it is like throwing away $250. You don’t want to do that, do you? Contact Mary at 612-636-5104 or development@redeemercenter.org about applying for an Action Team.
