Redeemer's Email Address
Operation Christmas Child: We are once again preparing our shoeboxes to be distributed for underprivileged children around the world. This is a great ministry for Samaritan’s Purse, who partner with churches in their area. There will be brochures and labels with instructions and also a container for donations on the table in the narthex. Thank you in advance for helping spread some Christmas joy. God bless you!!! Please return by the end of October.
Shared Ministry Interim Worship Time Change Coming in November
As we continue to explore shared ministry between Redeemer and St. John’s during this six month interim we will reach the halfway point at the end of October, when we will switch worship times. The first Sunday in November, November 2nd, we will be celebrating All Saints Day with a joint worship service at St. John’s at 10:30 am, but beginning the weekend of November 8-9 the early service and Adult Education time will move to St. John’s, while
the later service and youth Sunday School will move to Redeemer. In other words, through the end of October (and technically the first weekend of November, since that will be a joint worship service) the weekend worship and Christian Ed Schedule remains:
Saturday--5:00 pm Worship at Redeemer
Sunday-- 8:00 am Adult Education Time at Redeemer
9:00 am Worship at Redeemer
9:30 am Youth Sunday School/Adult Fellowship
at St. John’s
10:30 am Worship at St. John’s
Beginning with the weekend of November 8-9 and continuing through the weekend of January 25-26, the weekend worship and Christian Ed Schedule will be:
Saturday--5:00 pm Worship at Redeemer
Sunday-- 8:00 am Adult Education Time at St. John’s
9:00 am Worship at St. John’s
9:30 am Youth Sunday School/(Adult Fellowship?)
at Redeemer
10:30 am Worship at Redeemer
More announcements of this will be in the late October bulletins and November newsletters. As a continued reminder--Members of both congregations are encouraged to attend whichever worship service they are able to. Envelope offerings and checks made out to your home congregation, will be accepted in the offering plates of both buildings and will be recorded and deposited in your home congregation’s account. (Please understand that offerings given to Redeemer at St. John’s or to St. John’s at Redeemer will most likely be counted and deposited with the following week’s offering.)
It’s Time to Remember the Saints: All Saints Day is Saturday, November 1, and will be celebrated in our worship the weekend of November 1-2 this year. (Our Sunday worship on November 2 will be a joint service at 10:30am at St. John’s.) All Saints Day is a day when we remember all the saints in the faith who have gone before us, and when we particularly remember those loved ones who have passed away in the past year. As part of our remembrance for All Saints Day, we would like to specifically mention in our prayers the names of the loved ones of members of Redeemer and St. John’s who have passed away in this past year (since November 1, 2024). In Redeemer’s narthex or St. John’s Welcome Center, please write on our “Roll of the Saints” the name of your loved ones who have passed away this past year, their date of death (approximate), and their relationship to you, so that we can include them in our special remembrance on All Saints Day.
Mark Your Calendars for Our Next Joint Worship Service All Saints Sunday (November 2): As part of our shared ministry interim between Redeemer and St. John’s, we are having two joint Sunday morning worship services in these six months. The first one was our joint outdoor worship service and picnic at the Jasper Riverwalk (hosted by Redeemer), the second one will be Sunday November 2, at St. John’s. On this Sunday there will not be a 9:00 am worship service, only a joint worship service at 10:30 am at St. John’s. Further details will be coming as that date draws near.
Christian Education
Adult Class: 1 Peter: When it comes to the New Testament, most Christians are familiar with the Gospels, Acts, Revelation, and the major letters of Paul, but some of those smaller epistles towards the end of the New Testament are often overlooked. One such overlooked epistle is the first letter of Peter. Yet 1 Peter and these other overlooked epistles are just as much a part of our New Testament as all the rest as they help inform our faith in Christ. Join us this September and October as Redeemer’s Adult class undertakes a study of the letter of 1 Peter. The Adult class meets at 8:00 a.m. Sunday mornings.
Youth & Children’s Sunday School: As part of the Shared Ministry with St. John’s Lutheran Church, the Youth Sunday School hour will rotate between the two campuses. Youth/Children’s Sunday School is being hosted by St. John's at 9:30 a.m. through October. Redeemer will host for November, December, and January. The elementary classes will meet weekly.
Monthly Adult Bible Study: 1 Corinthians: St. John’s monthly Adult Bible Study resumes this August as we begin exploring Paul’s First Letter to the Corinthians. The Apostle Paul wrote many of the books that make up the Christian New Testament. Two of his most memorable letters were written to the church in Corinth. Our book of 1 Corinthians has a fascinating story behind it and a fascinating testimony within it. You are invited to this monthly Bible Study as we delve into this important letter and discover the many ways Paul’s letter to the Corinthians relates to us in our church today. (With the beginning of Shared Ministry, this is a Bible Study of both Redeemer and St. John’s Lutheran churches meeting at St. John’s--members, visitors, and friends of both congregations are invited and encouraged to attend.) For this study Pastor Adam will be using N.T. Wright’s The New Testament For Everyone Bible Study Guide: 1 Corinthians and referencing his commentary that goes with this: Paul for Everyone: 1 Corinthians, by Tom Wright. These materials are not needed to participate in the class, but you may purchase them if you so desire. The Monthly Adult Bible Study meets at 1:30 pm on the Second Mondays of the month. Come and Join us! Next class is November 10th.
