We like to keep you updated with everything that’s going on here at Redeemer! So, each week we film a pastoral update video and send out our Redeemer Weekly email. We also share updates and exciting things going on throughout the week on our Facebook and Instagram pages. You can check out our calendar for a fuller schedule of events, but here on our RedeemerNOW page are the major things we think you should know about now!
1st Annual Celebration, June 2nd
We are so excited about our upcoming Annual Celebration on Sunday, June 2nd!
We will start the day by worshipping with ALL of our services (English and international) together at 9am, then we will move into our annual meeting and celebrate what the Lord has done in the life of Redeemer. We’ll then enjoy a potluck lunch together and continue the celebration with bouncy houses, sweet treats, and more! (Childcare and children’s classes will be available during both the worship service and meeting).
This is going to be our largest internal event ever so plan on arriving early (as early as 8:30am) to park, check in yourself and your children, drop off your potluck dish, and settle in to worship!
There are more details in the link below and please register to help us make preparations for the day!
Rogation Procession & Feast/Summer Connections, June 12th
Due to this week’s rainy weather, we have rescheduled the Rogation Procession to Wednesday, June 12th at 6 p.m. The procession will also kick off the start of Summer Connections on the Farm! Summer Connections is led by the Farm team and Farm to Flourish and will be every Wednesday (6-8 p.m.) through July 31st, where we will work together on the farm. Childcare is provided for ages 0-4. There is no need to register—just show up with a potluck dish to share and hands ready to get dirty!
Joint International Service, May 26th
Our next Joint International Service is on Sunday, May 26th at 2 p.m.! Each month, our international services host this service to bring our Redeemer brothers and sisters together to worship and feast as one. Be sure to stick around after the service for a potluck dinner! Come with hearts ready to worship & a dish to share!
Joint Services are held the 4th Sunday of every month.
Ikaze Ministry Prep Day, June 1st
The next Ikaze Prep Day is Saturday, June 1st, 9:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.! We’ll be preparing meals and crafting home goods for welcome kits that our Welcome & Delivery Team will bring to local refugee families. Most recently, the Ikaze team has delivered our welcome kits to two recently arrived Muslim families and, because of the hospitality and care our teams have shown them, they are expressing a desire to come to our worship services! If you enjoy cooking meals or crafting, register for the Ikaze Prep Day; if you’d like to build relationships with refugee families, then join the Welcome & Delivery Team!
If you’d like to learn more about the Ikaze Ministry, reach out to Deacon Steven Hebbard.

Stage Renovations & Altar Furniture Fund
We are looking at doing some much needed updates to the front of the sanctuary for safety, beauty, and functionality. We are rebuilding the stage, and building a new pulpit and credence table. We expect the cost to be around $10,000-15,000. If you would like to contribute towards this to help meet this need, you can give online below or through cash or check (just be sure to designate the donation under “Stage Renovation”).
