REDEEMER Church Announcements:  

WELCOME ADA JANE CANNIFF-KESECKER! // Congratulations to Aubrey, Vicar Matt, and Nora Canniff-Kesecker on the birth of Ada Jane on March 21, 2018 at 6:40pm! She was 9lbs, 22 inches long, and is absolutely perfect. We’ve set up a Meal Train to bring them meals for the next month as they adjust to becoming a four-person family, and you can sign up to take them a meal here: https://mealtrain.com/k7z8k0
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  For more information or if you have questions, contact Amy Koopman at the church office (admin@redeemermpls.org).

Thrivent Members: Give Your Thrivent Choice Dollars to RCFL! // Thrivent Financial provides a myriad of accessible avenues for Living Generously and making contributions with the intent of strengthening communities and congregations. If you are an eligible member of Thrivent Financial you get to direct just where Thrivent donates some of their charitable outreach dollars, and we appreciate every recommendation! THIS is an opportunity to direct your Thrivent Choice Dollars to Redeemer Center for Life and/or Redeemer Lutheran Church today! Thrivent Choice Dollars not directed by March 31 will expire. For additional information and/or direction visit www.thrivent.com/thriventchoice, or call 800-847-4836 and say “Thrivent Choice” after the prompt. ​Thank you for taking the time and investing in RCFL!

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! For more information, please contact Mali Jensen (mcjensen08@gmail.com) or Beth Heinly-Munk (cottoncandy7000@gmail.com).
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.
