Redeemer's Email Address
Lent 2023
Lent has begun and we are excited for the return of Wednesday Lenten meals this year. Join us on Wednesdays throughout Lent for a light meal and midweek Lenten worship at 5:30 and 6:30pm respectively. For the season of Lent, choir practice will move to 7:15pm Wednesday evenings after worship and Confirmation classes will run from a little after 7pm to 8:15ish at Christ Lutheran in Haysville. For this year’s mid-week services, we will be doing a round-robin preaching rotation along with Christ, St. John’s (Boone Township), and St. Paul’s. Our mid-week theme this year is the series Promised Treasures. While we know faith comes through hearing God’s Word, the gospel is also communicated through the physical senses of sight, smell, touch, and taste. So each Wednesday in Lent we will take a weekly journey to concretely see, smell, touch, and taste a number of biblical elements including salt, water, light, bread, and palms, as we explore how these elements remind us of God’s promises to us through Christ that can strength us for our journey through the wilderness of this world.
The rotation schedule for Redeemer is as follows:
Date Worship Leader Theme Element
Wednesday, March 22 Pastor Adam Ruschau Water
Wednesday, March 29 Pastor Adam Ruschau Palms

God Bless The Children/Easter Baskets
Children are a blessing. They remind us that we need to play more, to laugh more, and that we need to never stop learning. The Dubois County Agency has requested Easter baskets for 15 children who are challenged at home and at school and are in need of our support and encouragement and love. If you feel you can make Easter special for one of these children, stop
at the table in the narthex, choose a basket with the sex and age of the child, and select items for your basket. Baskets are due on April 2nd, Palm Sunday. God blesses those who give from the heart. Evangelism/Social Ministry Team

Christian Education
Middle & High School Youth Class Meets
the 2nd Sunday of Each Month
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 on attending this monthly study and discussion, focused on the intersection of life and faith. Hope to see you there.
Adult Class: Paul’s Letter to the Romans
The Apostle Paul wrote many of the books that make up the Christian New Testament. His longest, and arguably his most important, epistle is his letter to the Romans. It has been called a summary of Paul’s theology containing some of the New Testament’s most famous pass-ages of assurance. And Romans has been highly influential in efforts to reform the church. Martin Luther’s rediscovery of justification by faith happened as he was studying Paul’s letter to the Romans and John Wesley (the founder of the Methodist movement) found his heart “strangely warmed” while reading Luther’s commentary on Romans. You are invited to join the Adult Sunday School Class as we delve into this important letter and discover the many ways Romans relates to our faith today. The Adult Class meets at 8:45 am Sunday mornings. Come and explore our scriptures with us!
