Summer Prep Extravaganza at Lutheran Hills:
A Service and Retreat Opportunity (May 9-10)
Lutheran Hills is hosting its Summer Prep Extravaganza Friday May 9th through Saturday May 10th. This is service weekend of work projects to get the camp ready for Summer Camp while also having a few retreat aspects to it--such as camp fire and devotions. I am organizing a group to take to this event and I especially encourage high school, middle school, and adult participants to join me and my family for this service opportunity. There is no fee for this weekend and Breakfast and Lunch on Saturday are provided. We will be departing Jasper/Haysville (depending upon whether we have participants from Christ or not) Friday early evening (probably around 5 pm) getting fast food dinner on the way up and returning dinner time-ish on Saturday. A sign-up sheet is posted on the bulletin board in the narthex. Please sign up by May 4th so that I can let Lutheran Hills know how many are going and how many beds we will need. Come join us for an awesome time of service and fellowship!
Volunteers Needed for Lay Shut-In Ministry: There is a strong need moving forward in the ministry of Redeemer to organize and appropriate a lay ministry to the congregation’s shut-ins. Please prayerfully consider whether God may be calling you to this ministry and indicate your willingness to participate by signing up on the bulletin board in the narthex and/or speaking directly with Pastor Adam. Sign-up sheet on the bulletin board.
Christian Education
Adult Class Spring 2025:
An Exploration of the Lectionary
Have you ever had the experience of sitting in worship and hearing a scripture lesson read that you weren’t quite sure what it meant, or why it was selected for that day? Even pastors have that experience at times. The lectionary--the appointed lessons for the various days of the church year--is a great gift to the church (keeping us from selecting only the parts of scripture we would want to hear) and yet for many it, and parts of it, remain a great mystery. So, this Spring, following the completion of our study of Paul’s letters to the Thessalonians, Redeemer’s Adult Class will be exploring our upcoming lectionary texts as a way to gain a deeper understanding of what they mean and the questions they confront us with in our lives. You are invited to join us for these lectionary text studies as we explore God’s Word together. The Adult Class meets at 8:45 am Sunday mornings.
Children’s & Youth Sunday School
Children’s Sunday School starts at 9:00 a.m. on Sunday mornings. Middle School and High School youth are encouraged
and invited to join our Adult class, starting at 8:45 a.m. Contact
Melissa Ruschau or Pastor Adam with any questions.
