Lent 2019:  The Seven Deadly Sins

Join us Wednesdays throughout Lent for a light meal at 5:30 p.m. and midweek Lenten worship at 6:30 p.m.  For the season of Lent, choir practice will move to 7:15pm Wednesday evenings after worship and Confirmation classes will run from 7:15ish to 8:30pm.  The theme for our weekday evening worship services this year is “The Seven Deadly Sins.”  While all sin is deadly in the sense that it leads us away from God and makes us deserving of death, Christian tradition has long listed seven inner sins as particularly deadly--pride, envy, wrath, greed, lust, gluttony, and sloth.  While some Protestants may scoff at such a list as “too Catholic,” this traditional list is actually very helpful in exploring both the depth and seriousness of our sin.  In a season of self-examination and repentance, what more appropriate topic can there be, but an examination of both the depth of our sin and the depth of our hope?  Now through Maundy Thursday we will explore these seven deadly sins--What are they? How are they particularly deadly?  Where can we turn for assistance in battling these inner demons?  Join us for these Wednesdays this Lent as we engage this fascinating and important topic.

Lenten Meals 2019

One of the great things about Lent is the tradition of gathering weekly for a communal meal followed by worship.  We invite you to join us for these Lenten meals Wednesdays at 5:30 pm.  The responsibilities for providing food for these meals has been divided among the committees of the church as follows. 

(We are asking for volunteers to sign up for the meal items on Wednesday April 10th.  A sign up sheet will be posted on the bulletin board in the narthex.)

Wed., March 20th—Choir & Worship/Music       

Wed., March 27th—Redeemer Church Women 

Wed., April 3rd—Property & Christian Ed/Youth 

Wed., April 1oth—Volunteers from the congregation              

EASTER BASKETS & FOOD BOXES FOR CRISIS CONNECTION

Food boxes and Easter baskets with goodies will be gathered for families in the Crisis Connection Program. These projects allow families in need to share in the bounty that God has given to us. We have been so blessed by Christ, the Son of God who gave his life to save us from eternal death. By our actions of love, hearts and lives can be changed for the better. Food boxes and Easter baskets will be due on Palm Sunday, April 14. May the Holy Spirit move each of us to do whatever we can to help others.

Coins for the Hunger

The Social Ministry/Evangelism TEAM is beginning its yearly “Feed the Hungry” coin collection for God’s children who are food deprived and survive on what little that can be found in garbage dumps. Check the display in the narthex and then choose a collection barn, box, or love folder or just give in whatever way works. Make it a family project for Lent. In Matthew 25, Jesus gives a command, “Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers or sisters of mine, you did for me.” Be a worker in the kingdom of Jesus Christ. Coins need to be turned in by Palm Sunday, April 14th.

Easter Lilies

There is a sign-up sheet on the bulletin board for Easter Lilies.

Price to be announced.

Christian Education

Adult Class:  Making Sense of the Cross

We all know that Jesus’ death and resurrection has saved us from the powers of sin and death, but how?  This is a question that Christians have long sought to explore as we seek to understand this very important concept of atonement--how God repairs our relationship with him through Jesus.  Come and join our Adult Class as we use David Lose’s book Making Sense of the Cross to guide us in exploring just what the event of the cross means for our faith and life. This class will last approximately 6 weeks. Sunday morning Adult Class meets at 8:45am. Please join us for this fascinating topic. All are welcome!
