Baptism of Our Lord Pastor Jenny McLellan, preaching
The theme of the Day: In the waters of the Jordan, Jesus is revealed as the beloved Son of God. Through this great epiphany, Jesus fulfills all righteousness and becomes the servant of God who will bring forth justice and be a light to the nations. In the waters of baptism we too are washed by the Word, anointed by the Spirit, and named God’s beloved children. Our baptismal mission is to proclaim good news to all who are oppressed or in need of God’s healing.
Our chalice being used 1/8-1/22 for the 9 AM worship service was made by Reese Dumont, one of our 8th-grade Confirmation students Each 8th-grade Confirmation student had to answer and paint their interpretation of the question: “What does Communion mean to you?” This is Reese's interpretation: "To me, communion is a way for everyone to come together and share the love of God Ever since I remember, I have done communion with my family."
MAC (Midtown Assistance Center) Coat Drive Beginning this Sunday through Jan. 15 “He who has two coats, let him share with him who has none; and he who has food, let him do likewise.” Luke 3:11
We at Redeemer practice the second part of this verse every week with the wonderful food ministry We also practice it with the food drive we do at the beginning of summer for Midtown Assistance Center (MAC), This is very much appreciated!
Now is our opportunity to do the first part of that verse. We are finally able to do an in person coat drive again and MAC is in need of coats In the past they have only needed men's coats This year they can use men's, women's and childrens. They have other organizations they can give the coats to if they receive more than they need They can also use caps, gloves and scarves We will be collecting these coats between December 11th and January 1st. There will be collection bins in the atrium labeled with signs for MAC. If you have any questions, feel free to contact Richard Mauney at richardemauney@gmail.com.
We are truly blessed at Redeemer and if you have a second coat (or any of these other items) you would like to share, they would be greatly appreciated May we take this Christman season to be thankful, think about others in our community who are not as blessed and show God's love to them by sharing from our abundance
