Accessible Restroom, Coming Soon!
At the October Voter’s Meeting the assembly approved for Redeemer to make plans to add a handicapped accessible restroom on the sanctuary level of the church. The motion approved is as follows: To authorize Robinson Construction (Mark Glova, architect) to proceed with architectural plans for a handicapped restroom in the narthex/lobby area and to begin a fund drive for the estimated $60,000 to $80,000 cost of the project. We currently have $26,705 already directed to the project from memorials. There are colored envelopes at the back table specifically marked for the “Accessible Restroom Fund”. If you would like a copy of the Handicapped Restroom committee report presented to the Voters you may find them at the back table of the church, or let the office know and a copy will be emailed to you.
Kingdom Building
Every Quarter we will bring in someone to talk to our congregation about an organization that is doing Kingdom work to spread the Gospel outside of our walls. We recently had representatives from Combined Community Services come and talk to us about how we can support their mission right here in our community!

Noon Bible Study
Meeting on Wednesday’s at noon in the Narthex for lunch and study. This group combines a few of our favorite things: the Bible, food and fellowship. Every Wednesday we eat lunch while consuming God’s Word. Currently studying the Book of Jeremiah, this group has been through many different topics and parts of the Bible. From Revelation to Genesis, social topics to historical events, there is nothing this group does not talk about. This study moves where the Spirit leads it. They have studied whole books of the Bible, taken deep dives into parables, and followed the readings of the day for a while. They also examine Biblical topics that are raised in popular culture, and TV shows such as “The Chosen.” They invite you to join them every Wednesday, or even just when you are able.
