Thanksgiving Service
Sunday, November 17, 10:45 a.m.
Thanksgiving is a holiday often celebrated with family and close friends enjoying a meal together, we at Redeemer want to expand our definition of family to include our brothers and sisters in Christ and celebrate Thanksgiving together. We will have a special worship service as we reflect on the goodness of God and collectively thank him for His many blessings in our lives.
Thanksgiving Meal
Immediately following the Thanksgiving worship service (about 11:30 a.m.), we will continue our worship by breaking bread together as we partake in a free Thanksgiving feast.
The turkey will be provided. Side dishes and desserts are potluck…please sign up in the lobby.
We’re looking for volunteers to help with set up (round tables and chairs), decorations, meal preparation, and clean up.
Sign up in the lobby to make this experience a success! Questions? Contact Pastor Dieula at [email protected]

For NEW LIFE IN CHRIST!
Join us in the sanctuary for a special Ash Wednesday Service as we begin the season of Lent.
The word Lent comes from an Anglo-Saxon word referring to the lengthening of days in the move from winter to spring. The season begins with Ash Wednesday and lasts for forty days (excluding Sundays). This is a reflective and penitential season, when Christians examine themselves and they remember the suffering and sacrifice of Jesus on their behalf. Significant days observed during the Lenten season include Ash Wednesday, the Sundays in Lent, and the days of Holy Week (including Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday).
Ash Wednesday calls Christians to remember their mortality and their need for a Savior. It is a time of new beginning… putting aside the sins and failures of the past in light of who we are yet to become by the grace of God. The ashes are a sign of both mortality (“ashes to ashes and dust to dust”) and purification and cleansing. The tone and atmosphere of the worship service is solemn and meditative.
Redeemer’s Ash Wednesday Service will be at 7:00 P.M. in the sanctuary.
CREW youth group will attend the service and meet immediately following it.
The Wednesday Prayer Group will meet at 7:40 p.m.
Join us for a special evening of worship.
Our praise team will lead us in upbeat contemporary worship and Scripture reading.
Then we will end the evening with the long-time Christian observance of Ash Wednesday.
