Bulletin for Sunday, March 29th

Dear brothers and sisters GRACE & PEACE BE WITH YOU!!! As all of you know by now we’re not going to be able to meet for worship at Redeemer for a while. Our Synod has been very clear about this, for the sake of everyone. Please see the official letter from me below. The letter has been emailed and mailed, as well as the Sunday bulletins. We’ll be radio broadcasting on WTKM on Sunday at 10:30am, and it’s also going to be recorded for our website and Facebook page. So I encourage you to use the bulletin to follow along. Just click on the bulletin image to open the PDF.

Remember the Church makes itself visible when it worships and sings together, no matter apart or gathered, we are still the church!!!

BLESSINGS!
Rev. Aida Muñiz

Coronavirus Decisions and Cancellations

March 17, 2020

Dear brothers and sisters,

Grace and peace to you all! If there is something I remember from my Old Testament Class is that in the month of August of the year 70 a.d., Emperor Titus retook and destroyed much of Jerusalem, and with that, the Temple. Back then the Temple was where God dwelled. After its destruction, the great question was: “Where is God?” As we, the body of Christ face this pandemic crisis, and the reality of not being able to gather in our churches, nor connect in person with one another, we might ask ourselves the same question: “Where is God?”, “How are we going to be the body of Christ, together, even when physically apart?” That represents a challenge for us as we go through this crisis.

On Monday our council met and made a few decisions that will be shared with you. The decisions are the following:

Worship – We will not be gathering for worship services throughout the rest of March, this includes Monday worship as well. You can still listen to prayers, Scripture readings and preaching on WTKM, Redeemer’s website and Redeemer’s Facebook page. We invite you to remain as diligent as possible with your offerings: mail your envelopes, or through your bank institution.

Confirmation Classes – Our meetings at church are cancelled, throughout the rest of March. Right now I’m working with “Google Classroom”, and soon, parents will receive an email with instructions.

Coffee with the Pastor – Cancelled, until further notice.

The pastor will be available throughout this crisis. Feel free to call me for emergencies, prayer, etc.

This has not been a decision made lightly, but one, made in light of the serious moments we find ourselves in. It is our Christian duty to act diligently. We are not acting out of fear, but out of love for our neighbor. Pray for our Synod and pastors as we lead in the midst of uncertainty, and make significant decisions that we never imagined making. As a body, rostered ministers are meeting daily with Synod Office.

I want to invite you all to breathe, pray, trust, and to take good care of yourselves. Remember to check our website and our Facebook page, as we come up with things to keep us connected. Please remember that God is here walking with us and giving us wisdom. Let’s show up God through the love of our neighbor, even during these difficult times.

Peace and God Bless!

Upcoming Events

Let’s Have Café! (Cancelled until further notice)

During the past few Sundays we have been announcing “Coffee with the Pastor”, and maybe some of you might be saying: “Well…I can have coffee at home.” You are right! So, let me talk to you a little bit more about what’s intended behind the “Coffee with the Pastor” idea.

During the past year many things happened behind the scenes: building bridges with the Synod, putting our name out there in the community’s philanthropic network, and in the midst of everything, a few drawbacks like loosing a secretary (Thank God for all the volunteer help!). This year we will continue the same work, but, there are still connections and relations to be strengthened.

So, I say “Let’s get to know our stories” Your story, Redeemer story, and my story as well! Let’s talk about ourselves in Redeemer, bring thoughts to the table, and questions about what’s going on and/or what could happen. What better way to do it, but with coffee!

If you wish to host one of these meetings you can sign up! There is a sign up sheet in the Narthex, if not we can still meet at church. Who knows, one day I could surprise you with Puerto Rican coffee. So, get on board, and let’s have CAFÉ!!!

Redeemer’s Giving Tree

A permanent Giving Tree is now 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 in “off the ground”. We look forward to many years of use in service to others.

Food Pantry Sunday

The third Sunday of each month has been designated as Food Pantry Sunday. Please bring non perishable items and place them in the barrel in the Information Area.
