Redeemer News

Special Congregational Meeting

A special Congregational meeting will be held after worship service on May 15th. This meeting will be held to discuss and vote on the possibility of establishing a Redeemer Lutheran Endowment Fund. This is the only item to be voted on at this meeting.

LWR Baby Care Kits

One of the Lutheran World Relief projects that our church participates in is the Baby Care Kits. In the Narthex is a display of 4 completed kits, and the items used to make them. Each kit uses 2 blankets, 4 cloth diapers, 2 diaper pins, 2 undershirts, 2 gowns or pairs of pajamas with no feet, 2 pairs of socks, 1 hooded jacket, 1 hand towel and two bars of soap. These kits can be quite costly to make, as the LWR is quite specific in what they need. (example- no onesies, no sleepers, flat fold cloth diapers). Any donations towards the cost of these items will be appreciated! If you are interested in learning more about this project or have any questions, please contact Bonnie Kreilein. 812-639-9422. Thank you!!

Register and Volunteer for VBS 2022:  July 5-8

Join us for Vacation Bible School this summer for the evenings of July 5^th—July 8th (5:30-8:10 p.m.) held at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Haysville hosted by Redeemer Lutheran, Christ Lutheran, St. Paul’s Lutheran, and St. John’s Lutheran (Boone Township) churches. Our theme for this summer’s VBS will be God’s Wonder Lab, exploring the amazing and incredible things Jesus has done.

Registration sheets can be found on round table in the narthex for youth from Preschool age through sixth grade. All youth in this age group are encouraged to sign up and attend this program. We will also need several volunteers and are asking for some donations towards this week’s program. A sign-up sheet for volunteers and donations is posted on the bulletin board in the narthex. Please consider what you can do to help our VBS program this summer.

It’s Time to Start to Register for Summer Camp 

     As a former camp counselor, I have witnessed first-hand the incredible value of a week of camp at one of our Lutheran camps.  Summer Church camp does so much for a child’s faith development its value cannot be overstated.  And it is amazingly fun too!  I, therefore, strongly encourage every Christian youth who is able to attend at least one week of summer camp each summer. 

     While Covid continues to be an ongoing issue, Lutheran Outdoor Ministries in Indiana-Kentucky (LOMIK) is confident that we will be able to have summer camp this summer both safely and effectively. (For more information about this see their newly redesigned website www.lomik.org.) Registration for Summer Camp at the LOMIK camps (Lutheran Hills, Lutherwald, and Lake Luther) is already open. LOMIK brochures are available on one of the tables in the narthex. Please feel free to take one. Due to the importance of camp for faith formation, the Christian Ed and Youth Committee has made its goal to provide funding for all but the first $100 of the cost of week at camp for any members of Redeemer. (If the remaining $100 is too much of a financial burden to your family, please talk to Pastor Adam and we will work to find some way to cover the cost. We don’t want any child of Redeemer to not attend camp for financial reasons.) As always, if you have questions about the value of a week of summer camp, see Pastor Adam

Help Needed to Mow Church Lawn: Volunteers are needed to mow the church lawn. The church has a push, riding mower, weed eater and blower which are available for use or you may use your own equipment. If you would be able to mow just once or twice this summer, your help will be greatly appreciated. A sign-up sheet is posted on the bulletin board. Please consider your time and effort as a gift to Redeemer Lutheran.

Dementia Support Group

Do you, a friend, or a loved one care for someone with Alzheimer’s or another form of dementia? Caring for someone going through the dementia journey, can be exhausting. Holy Family is hosting a dementia support group the 3rd Tuesday of each month at 6:30 p.m. in Fellowship Hall.  The next meeting is May 17th.  For more information, please contact Bernie Heeke at 812-639-0331. 

Christian Education

Youth Class Meets the Second Sunday of Each Month

Attention all Middle School and High School Youth and their families!

Redeemer’s Youth Christian Ed class is held on the second Sunday of each month at 9:00 am in the Confirmation room. Please plan to attend this monthly study and discussion. Hope to see you there.

 Adult Class: The Gospel of Matthew

     If you start reading the New Testament and the very beginning, the very first       book you will read is the Gospel of Matthew. As the first gospel, in position, if       not in time, Matthew helps to set the tone for the rest of the New Testament         and is thus highly important to our understanding of just who Jesus is and            how he fulfills the Old Testament. The Adult class is undertaking a study of          Matthew’s Gospel. You are invited to join us for  this study and discussion as        we delve into the life, death, and resurrection of  Jesus from Matthew’s                  perspective. The Adult class meets at 8:45 am Sunday mornings. No prior            experience necessary, all are welcome.
