Eighteenth Sunday after Pentecost Pastor Jenny McLellan, preaching
The theme of the Day:
It’s a miracle! Multiple miracles! The waters of holy baptism have healed us. The body and blood of Jesus in holy communion have made us clean We have died with Christ and been raised with him. For all this we have returned to offer thanks. From this place we are sent on our way rejoicing to share the good news
Please give generously.

Master Planning Update
Thank you for making the Visioning and Programming phase of our Master Planning process a success!

preparation of the meetings, interfacing with the consultants and Midtown neighbors Our conversations converged around common themes that will transform our campus into a place that will inspire and empower us to achieve our vision and move Redeemer forward into the next century Our consultants are hard at work compiling data and dreams before we move into the next phase of our process Concept & Master Planning. We look forward to sharing the results with you soon!
