Sign up for a CPR Class

Through the generous donations of members of our congregation, we have been able to purchase an AED device (automated external defibrillator), an automated blood pressure cuff and a new first aid kit. Now we need to make sure some people are trained to use them in case of an emergency.  Current CPR classes train you in the use of the AED.  It is actually very easy to use.  Hopefully this is something we may never need but it is important that we do have it and can be used if necessary.   Memorial Hospital, through the Education and Wellness Department, offers CPR classes.  The next ones scheduled for the public are Thursdays – Now thru March 7 – from 5:30 to 9:30 pm.  BLS classes for health care workers can go to classes on Mondays – February 11 or April 1.  The cost of these classes is $65/person.  I am hoping that our donations might even cover most of this cost.  We could even schedule one at Redeemer for a little more money.  Please let me know if you are interested.  They need to know numbers so they know how many instructors are needed.  Thank you to everyone who as supported this.  Nancy Otte

Christian Education

Adult Class: Christianity: The First 2000 Years

Do you know who Ignatius of Antioch was?  What about St. Augustine or Leo I?  How much do you know about the history of our faith, from Pentecost through the 20th Century?  One of the great things about being a Lutheran Christian (in my opinion) is that we do not ignore or whitewash the history of the church, and that history doesn’t just start with Martin Luther in the 16th Century.  The history of the church, all of it, is a part of our story-- the good, the bad, and the ugly.  It is the story of sinners seeking to follow Christ (and sometimes failing), of the work of the Holy Spirit among the faithful, of great saints who inspired great faith and great sinners who damaged others faith, of controversies and struggles over defending the truth of the gospel.  And it is a story that, known or unknown, still affects our faith and our church today.  The Adult class is delving into some of this fascinating history by watching and discussing the A&E documentary Christianity:  The First Two Thousand Years.  While this documentary is made from a secular perspective (and has plenty of flaws and inaccuracies which we will discuss), it remains a well-made and informative film (the best overall documentary of Christian history that I have yet discovered).  We will spend class periods watching segments of the documentary and then discussing and elaborating upon some of the topics and events mentioned in the film.  Please join us for an interesting and unique experience as we explore how the church came to be what it is and the ways in which God moves in history.  The Adult class meets at 8:45am Sunday mornings.  No prior experience is required for attending this class.  All are invited. If you have to miss any of the classes and would like to catch up, the documentary can be found online at www.youtube.com. (We will watch approximately 30 minutes of it each class).
