September Newsletter

Were you in worship on August 24?* We heard about our young peoples’ summer camp adventures (funded by you), and blessed them and their backpacks as they head back to school. The front was packed with kids with brand spanking new backpacks and wearing the fun magic glasses Pastor Adam used in his Children’s Message. We got to hear about how good the food at camp was, all the new friends made, and of victories over the swim test and high ropes course. Morgan May shared about her trip to Phoenix as a voting member to this year’s Churchwide Assembly, where she helped elect our new presiding bishop, Pastor Yehiel Curry.

August Newsletter

As many of you know, there are a lot of needs after a person and/or a family has moved. You have to get all the legal paperwork, such as car titles, moved to the new state. You need to replace things that were destroyed in the wild ride of the U-Haul. You need to fill a pantry again (thank you again for all the gift cards!). But, more than anything, you need to find some peace and happiness in the new place.

July Newsletter

As I write this, we are in day three of Vacation Bible School. I hope you had a chance to stop by for morning worship or just to walk through all the excitement. Almost every space in the building and a good part of the grounds outside were full of kids having a blast. Thanks to Liz Swenson (director of children and family ministry), the rest of the staff, and almost 50 volunteers who made it run like a well-oiled machine. We haven’t run the stats on the event yet, but usually 65-70% of the attendees are not members of Our Redeemer’s, making it one of our larger outreach events each year. Many of those kids we’ll never see again, but my hope is that as they drive past our campus over the years, they will remember the feeling of being welcomed and encouraged and loved by the people they met here. That is being Jesus in this place and this time, and you do it well, dear people of Our Redeemer’s.
