LAST SUNDAY

In the final week of our Abundant Simplicity series, we reviewed the call to begin practicing disciplines of reduction by focusing on the deeper question underneath it all: Who do we think we’re dealing with when we’re dealing with God?

 

HEART EXAMINATION

Before you speak, scroll, respond, buy, or fill the time, pause and ask: Am I trying to manage this moment, or can I trust that God is a God of “much more,” a God I can trust is already at work?  

 

THIS SUNDAY

Join us for our Sunday message, The Beginning of the Good News: Sent.

       8:30am Traditional Worship in the Sanctuary

LOVE LIKE JESUS: DONATE OLD LAPTOPS

Our partner Exodus World Service is collecting used (even broken) or discontinued laptops (any operating system, with or without cables). Exodus will refurbish the laptops and give them to refugee kids. Please bring any laptops you no longer need to Redeemer (and let one of the pastors know), and Exodus will pick them up from the church.

 

SHARE & UPDATE YOUR PRAYER REQUESTS WITH OUR PRAYER TEAM

We have a faithful team continually praying for our congregation. To share your prayer requests or to be added to the team, please email redeemerprayerteam@gmail.com. (Do you have updates on your recent prayer requests? Please send a quick email to let our team know! It helps our team know how to continue praying.)

 

MEAL TRAIN MINISTRY

Do you know of a member of our Redeemer community who would benefit from having a Meal Train set up for them (perhaps someone who is recuperating from surgery, recently lost a loved one, or just had a baby)? Check with the person to make sure they’re interested and then email office@redeemerparkridge.com to get things started.
