In Jesus’ parable, all ten of those waiting to meet the bridegroom fell asleep, and all ten fell short of what was needed. Thankfully, the Lord provides all that is needed at the banquet.

THE NEEDS OF OUR PARTNERS

Lincoln Elementary School is looking for volunteer readers! Volunteers are invited to visit the school and share a favorite story with the children. The school asks volunteers to commit to a regular day and time for a period of time. This consistency gives volunteers the opportunity to build relationships and become a familiar, encouraging presence for both the students and their teachers. Interested in volunteering? Please let Pastor Steve know, and we will connect you with the school contact who coordinates the reading program.

Prayer Ventures
November 2026 Daily Petitions
God calls us to bless our world and enrich our journey of faith through daily prayer. The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America offers a great prayer resource called “Prayer Ventures.” Prayer Ventures provides a daily prayer for us to remember the world’s many needs, and to support vital and innovative ELCA missions and ministries through prayer. Each month the Redeemer website will provide Prayer Ventures shaped for that month’s emphases.
Redeemer’s Giving Tree
A permanent Giving Tree is located in the Narthex! It’s simple to use and benefits many worthy causes in our community and at Redeemer. Simply remove a tag from the tree, bring in the donation on the tag and place it into the proper bin at the foot of the tree. Many thanks to Matt Nettesheim for constructing this amazing work of art (including LED lighting), to Jenny Nettesheim and Sheila Bauer for managing this project, and to Thrivent for providing a grant to help get it “off the ground”. We look forward to many years of use in service to others.
