The Harvest Home Concert is Redeemer’s musical celebration of Thanksgiving, a quintessentially American holiday, a celebration that crosses all barriers. The diverse music of the concert is designed to appeal to a broad audience, including those who might not attend a church service As a gift to the community, the concert is presented free of charge. We celebrate
FAMILY are those closest to us, related by blood or by choice, gathered around our table or living in cherished memory.
FEAST can be a festive table or a simple meal received and shared with gratitude, feeding the body and the spirit; famine comes in many forms.
HARVEST is collaborative, dependent on our effort as well as communities, systems, and circumstances that are entirely beyond our control.
HOME can be a place or a person, as much destination as where we are from, where we are welcomed, known, and loved.

Join us on Sunday, November 10th, as we celebrate Lutheran Towers again this year. Connected via a bridge over Juniper St., Lutheran Towers has provided not just a roof over our 200+ seniors' heads but a warm and nurturing environment that fosters a sense of belonging and well-being for over fifty years Ms Betty Stewart “Purple Betty” will share her story during the services, and we’ll have the opportunity to meet other residents, including Robert West.
Known for his iconic artwork of Atlanta landmarks and railroad art, Robert West has been a resident of Lutheran Towers for more than six years and is using his talents to “give back” to the vibrant community that has become his family over the past several years.
West is donating print #1 in a limited series of 21 prints of his painting “ Fabulous,” for a silent auction “Fabulous” portrays the historic Fox Theatre at night, illuminated by its iconic neon signage The marquee advertises an evening event, capturing a bustling street scene with people dressed for a formal occasion, walking under the glow of the theatre’s lights.
The rich architectural details of the Fox Theatre are highlighted, including its distinctive towers and ornate entrance, which are set against a backdrop of the city skyline and an evening sky filled with stars. The wet street reflects the lights, adding vibrancy and depth to the scene. This artwork evokes a sense of elegance and nostalgia, blending modern touches with a classic, timeless setting
Be sure to visit the Sims Atrium to see the donated artwork and meet Mr. West. Bids will be accepted until November 30 via an online auction at https://www.32auctions.com/Luth eranTowersFabulous

We have resettled an unprecedented number of refugees this year of 600+. As the weather turns cold, purchasing coats for every family member can be a significant expense. We are working to gather coats for all clients who have arrived this year. If you are able to donate even one coat, it would greatly impact families of 9 or 11 who face the need for hundreds of dollars in warm clothing.
Coat Drive
Tags with names, gender, age, and size will be available on our Hope Tree starting November 15. If you prefer to make a monetary donation to the Hope Tree Christmas fund, we will use those funds to purchase the necessary winter coats.
The Lutheran Community Food Ministry will host its annual “A Time to Share.” This event features a special Thanksgiving meal prepared by Chef Isaiah, with turkey and all the fixings.
