A Successful Ramsey Ecumenical Thanksgiving Service!
Thanks to all from the community who came out to give thanks on the Sunday afternoon before the Thanksgiving holiday. The service was held at St. John's this year. Redeemer church members and choir members joined their fellow Christians and colleagues From St. John’s Episcopal, First Presbyterian and St Paul’s RC. Redeemer's own Jennifer Hommez and Steven Koestner joined A.J. Minatulo from First Presbyterian for the solos.

ELCA proclaims itself a "Sanctuary Church" (Aug. 7, 2019)
To help clarify what transpired, Pastor Linderman put together a resource that he hopes will contextualize what this does and does not mean for us. This resource page contains links to other pages on his blog, in which he's laid out the process and background of these actions. Feel free to contact the church office with any questions.

Thanks for a great VBS!!
Special thanks to our staff, adult and teenage volunteers, and our families from Redeemer and the community who joined in the fun of Vacation Bible School this Summer!  Please find some photos of the fun on our Facebook page.

Redeemer raises $2000 for the "Bishop's Cow Challenge"!
Last year, our Bishop of the New Jersey Synod invited Lutheran churches in NJ to raise $500 toward the provision of a cow to a qualified family in developing countries. Redeemer raised $2000 for the Cow Challenge!  Thanks for all your support. The total for all the ELCA Lutheran Churches in the NJ Synod was tallied at over $360,000 as of June 6, 2019. These donations go to the ELCA World Hunger appeal, which works with local agencies to establish dairy cows in qualified communities. 

Other News:
Our Church Musician, Fran Morton, recently made a splash in In Tempo, the resource newsletter of the Association of Lutheran Church Musicians. Her letter was a response to an article about working with volunteers. You can read the original article and Fran's letter to the editor, which begins on the 3rd page, here.
"Loving Kindness" Meditation for Christians
In the scripture reading we used on Feb. 24, Jesus asks us to love our enemies, bless those who curse us, and pray for those who abuse us. Meditation can help us practice these very, very difficult Christian values, from a safe distance! Here's the link to the "Loving Kindness" meditation that we used in the sermon time. 
What's our Logo about?
The "Lamb and Flag" is not just a great pub in Oxford, England. It is an old symbol of the church. The Lamb is Jesus Christ, "who takes away the sins of the world." The flag is the Christian flag--Red Cross on a white background. Together, they stand for the work and legacy of our "Redeemer," Jesus Christ.
