LUTHERAN CHURCH OF THE R EEMER
ATLANTA, GA
Summer Worship
Beginning Sunday, June 23, our summer worship services will be held in the Sims Atrium. The Property Team has planned work which requires scaffolding that will fill the nave: repairs to our 70+ year old electrical systems and upgrades to our lighting. They expect the work to take around 6 weeks, returning to the nave in early August. This work is not a part of the master plan. The Worship Team is working to make sure that services in the Sims Atrium are familiar and comfortable.
Youth Minstry Brainstorming Session
The search team for the new Director of Youth Ministries would like to invite all middle school and high school parents and students to a brainstorming session Sunday, June 9 at 10 AM in the Reception Room and Rudisill Hall. We will gather to dream about what Youth Ministry could be here at Redeemer. There will be separate sessions for youth and parents. If you cannot join in person, please join by Zoom: Link
