Angel Tree
The Angel Tree has become a tradition at Redeemer as we reach out to children in the community. The Dubois County Children’s Service has requested our support in giving gifts to young people who might not receive gifts due to family circumstances. The Angel tree has 16 idea cards from 16 children who have asked for wanted or needed items. Other ideas can be added as the cards are only suggestions. Items are due by Dec. 17th. As Christians we are called to help others when the opportunity arises. Listen to your heart and help to give hope to the less fortunate. May God bless our efforts.

Middle & High School Youth Class Meets

Adult Class “Speaking For Christ:
Everyday Evangelism Through the Promise of Forgiveness”
One of the scariest words for people in the church is “evangelism.” It conjures up not only a Christian responsibility that we are often less than stellar at, but also many of the worst stereo- types of Christians--pushing your religion upon someone else and/or using scare tactics and threat of hell and damnation to win converts. But the term “evangelism” actually means the spreading of “good news.” As Christians we are aware of our calling to “make disciples,” but we are far less than certain of how to do this. With a growing secularism and a decline in church attendance and participation in our culture, evangelism is even more important today. Yet we seem to have less of an idea of where to begin with evangelism that ever before.
All this makes evangelism an incredibly important topic in the church today--both to correct misunderstandings of it and to equip and spark us into it. Therefore, the Adult class will be beginning a Bible Study on evangelism entitled “Speaking for Christ” this fall. Through this study we will explore the scriptural foundations of evangelism, the content of our evangelism, and work to equip ourselves for the task of evangelism. This is an exciting opportunity to grow in an area of vital interest for the future of the church and our mission in Christ and we hope you can join us for this class, or as many sessions as you can make it to. The Adult class meets at 8:45am Sunday mornings. We will begin our study of “Speaking For Christ” on Sunday Sept 4th. All are welcome, invited, and encouraged to join us. This is an introductory level class.
