Saturday, December 18 Live Nativity@ Bethlehem Village and Caroling with Redeemer Brass

Cancelled due to Weather

New Redeemer Caroling Sing-Along December 18 | 4:30 PM Online | Here is the link Need a little Christmas? That's the theme of a new special musical program to reconnect with fellow Redeemer members and reach out to anyone you think might be fighting loneliness. Bob Gibeling will be leading a group of Redeemer members singing carols for the 28th year from his living room. Instruments include piano, violin, and guitar. In the past, the singers went around Buckhead but this year the Caroling will be online for the first time to reach out to more people. These are Redeemer members with great voices singing harmony in four parts. You will recognize all the carols so sing along to your heart's desire. Bob will host the event which includes creative ways to observe Advent and Christmas through the power of music for 30 minutes. Pastor Mark Larson will be there to invite the community to join us on Christmas Eve in person or online. Live near Buckhead and want to hear the caroling live? Starting at 5 PM Bob will bring the singers to his front porch to sing 15 more minutes of Christmas Carols (maybe more). His address is 2466 Sharondale Drive in the Garden Hills neighborhood of Buckhead. In case of rain, you can stand in his carport and listen to the live caroling. Invite your friends and anyone you think will get a lift from beautiful Christmas music.

Rejoicing Spirits is online only this month, but we can't wait to see you! At Redeemer our Advent theme this year is Singing of Salvation, and during worship, we will be reflecting on the special way music connects us to God during Advent and Christmas. For our community time this month, we will be sharing a favorite Christmas ornament. Pull one off your tree and be ready to tell us why it’s your favorite. Did someone special give it to you? Is it handmade? Does it bring back a special memory? Join on Zoom using this link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86041091721? pwd=R2Yya3VCZHc0bjlXSEQvZFArQS80dz09

You are not alone. Redeemer’s Congregational Care Ministry recognizes the pain many of us experience at this time of year and so we invite you to our Blue Christmas: A Service of Lament, Healing, and Hope. Instead of numbing, pushing through, or avoiding your pain this year, come—just as you are and receive the healing balm of Jesus, our Emmanuel, God with us.
