Communiqué from the Interim Pastor
Dear Members and Friends of Redeemer and St. Theodore,
May God surround you with love and care in these early September days.
FIRST, A REMINDER… WE ARE TAKING A ONE WEEK BREAK from The Midweek Bible Study, that meets on Wednesdays at 12:00-1:15pm. Next week, September 10th, we will reconvene and begin the study of the Women of the New Testament Bible, beginning with Elizabeth and Mary, the mothers of John the Baptist and Jesus. All are always welcome.
A SECOND REMINDER… This coming Sunday, we will be joining with thousands of other congregations for GOD’S WORK… OUR HANDS SUNDAY, as we continue our tradition of hosting a food collection drive to help feed the hungry. Wear your yellow shirts, and if you do not yet have one, please pick one up at the church.
THIRDLY… On this coming Sunday, September, we begin a four-week sermon series on “DISCIPLESHIP” – what Jesus was calling upon his disciples in his day and what that calling means for us today. The sermon title this Sunday is an adaptation of Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s most well-known book -- “The (Huge) Cost of Discipleship.” The message is grounded in the appointed Gospel reading from Luke 14:25-33. All are always welcome to the worship hour at 10:30 a.m. for singing, praying, hearing the Word of the Lord, and receiving the gift of grace at the Lord’s Table. Fellowship and refreshments downstairs follows the worship service.
THE FOURTH ANNOUCEMENT today is the New Member Reception on September 21st during the worship service. If you are interested in joining the membership of the congregation, please let me or someone know as soon as possible. It is helpful to fill out a form that can be found on the back tables in the sanctuary.
LAST OF ALL… we wait on city hall to give their second approval for the installation of our new heating and air conditioning units throughout the building. The contractor, Greenwood Heating and Air, is ready. The city has approved the initial plans but asked for one more requirement which has been fulfilled and given back to them. Now we wait for their final approvals. The fundraising has gone exceptionally well! We are thankful to everyone who has helped to make this possible!
God bless and keep you all!
+Murray D. Finck
The Rev. Murray D. Finck
