Join Us for “Summer’s Last Hurrah”: A Youth & Family Picnic --Sunday August 9th at the Dubois County Fairgrounds from 3-6 pm: The School Year is Coming! The School Year is Coming! But before school starts up again the Christian Ed and Youth Teams of Redeemer and St. John’s want to invite you to a youth and family picnic on Sunday August 9th at the shelter house at the Dubois County Fairgrounds. This event is for youth and families of all shapes, sizes, and ages (even if you no longer have children in the house). There will be a splash pad (parents, please bring swimsuits and/or change of clothes for your kids if they want to do this), hiking, outdoor games, and fishing for the kids. Hot dogs, hamburgers, water, and lemonade will be provided. Please bring a side dish or dessert to share. Also, bring your own lawn chair and other beverages if you so desire (non-alcoholic). We will plan on serving dinner at 5pm with games and activities beforehand. Join us for a fun-filled, fellowship-filled time together as we celebrate Summer’s Last Hurrah.
Youth Sunday School Starts Sunday August 23rd: Youth Sunday School at Redeemer and St. John for the 2026-27 school year kicks off on Sunday August 23rd. For the months of August and September, Sunday School at Redeemer will be at 9:30 am (before worship) and Sunday School at St. John’s will be at 10:00am (after worship). When worship times switch beginning in October the times and locations will flip flop. As a reminder, the Youth and Christian Ed teams of Redeemer and St. John’s are working to coordinate the teaching of Sunday School lessons, so that the same lesson is being taught at both buildings each Sunday. So families can attend wherever their schedule allows, even if it changes, and kids can still get the same lesson they would have gotten at the other building.
Confirmation Classes Start Wednesday August 26th: Attention Confirmation students and families (those in 7th or 8th grade during the 2026-27 school year)! Our first Confirmation class of the new school year will be Wednesday August 26th from 6:30-8:00 pm at Redeemer’s building, and will continue throughout the school year
every Wednesday, unless otherwise noted. Looking forward to another great year of Confirmation classes!
CHURCH LAWN: We are in need of volunteers to mow Redeemer’s lawn. The church has a push, riding mower or weed eater, or use your own equipment. Sign up on the bulletin board. Please consider your time and effort as a gift to Redeemer.
Next Adult Bible Study Coming This August: Making Sense of the Christian Faith: This August, the monthly Adult Bible Study is moving to twice a month as we begin a new topic and book discussion: Making Sense of the Christian Faith by David Lose. Have you ever felt that you have not quite understood the Christian faith at times? Have certain questions nagged at you? Have you ever wished to get a good, understandable overview of what Christianity is all about? Then we have a class for you: Making Sense of the Christian Faith. In this highly readable and down to earth book, Lose examines some of the basics of Christian theology and doctrine in a way that is both approachable and insightful. Whether you have been a Christian your whole life or are still searching for what it is you believe and why, Making Sense of the Christian Faith will provide you with some new insights into how Christianity fits together and approaches the world. Join us for this exciting exploration of our Christian faith starting Monday, August 10th at 1:30 p.m. at St. John’s and lasting for approximately 8 sessions. While reading the book is not required for attending the class and getting into this exciting discussion, it is highly recommended. You can purchase your own copy, or see Pastor Adam for a copy to borrow (He has 5 extra copies available for borrowing.). For the first class, Monday August 10th at 1:30 p.m. at St. John’s, it will be helpful to have read the introduction and first chapter of Making Sense of the Christian Faith.
Redeemer Joining St. John’s Call’Em All List: For many years now, we have not had a good way to get a hold of all, or at least most, Redeemer members on short notice. This has been especially challenging on occasions where we have had to make the decision to cancel worship services due to bad winter weather. Also, with our new shared ministry, timely communication and reminders are becoming more important than ever as worship time/Sunday School time shifts and joint services can often interrupt whatever pattern we have gotten used to. St. John’s, our shared ministry partner, has used a Call’Em All service to be able to send out timely reminders to members of St. John’s for such occasions. These notifications go out with a text and/or voice message to all members. St. John’s has offered to include Redeemer in this service (as there is a flat fee for this and no extra charge for adding more numbers or groups). This will enable us to get important reminders out to a St. John’s list, a Redeemer list, or a Shared ministry list (depending on who the message is for and who it affects) in a timely fashion. Tina Weisman is coordinating Redeemer’s end of this list. If do not wish to be included in this form of communication (which will only be used for important reminders such as worship time/location changes, or event cancellation) please contact her and let her know. Thank you.
Save the Date: We will be having a joint outdoor worship service and picnic at the Jasper Riverwalk Gazebo on Sunday, September 20th. There will be a carry-in/pot luck meal after this service.
Matthew 25 Ministries: We are collecting pill bottles of all sizes. Please put them under the table in the narthex. Thank you.
