Upcoming Livestream Worship – Sunday, February 8, 2026 – 9:25am
Christ calls us to this “salty” life of sacrificial service, love in action, and resisting evil, injustice and oppression in the world – so that God’s “light” might shine and reveal the truth.
Worship – Sunday, February 1, 2026
In his Sermon on the Mount, Jesus teaches us what it looks like when we bring the blessings of God to the least, the last, and the lost – so they can know and believe they are loved by their Father.

Prayer Ventures
February 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.
