Fifteenth Sunday after Pentecost Pastor Jonathan Trapp, preaching
The theme of the Day: Conflict is a part of relationships and life in community. Jesus’ words in today's gospel are often used in situations having to do with church discipline. The prophet Ezekiel tells of warning the wicked to turn from their ways, and Paul reminds us that love is the fulfilling of the law. We gather in the name of Christ, assured that he is present among us with gifts of peace and reconciliation.
Thank you Redeemer! We gathered together with over 100 members on August 6th to share and discuss two conceptual design options The August 6th presentation reviews the process and illustrates the two design options from different street views and floor levels. This is our collective vision for Redeemer and we want all voices heard.
We continue to look forward to congregational input at a Temple Talk and Listening Post on Sunday, September 17th as we share the culmination of our hopes and dreams for Redeemer With your input, we will create a final report of the Facilities Master Plan for Lutheran Church of the Redeemer.
