News & Events
Redeemer wishes everyone a healthy and happy New Year!
Thank you to our Sunday school families for a great Christmas Pageant Service!
This year's Christmas Pageant was different, as we set the pageant within the frame of a regular worship service. We had a great turnout, with over 50 kids and teens participating. Thanks for the support of all our volunteers and Sunday School families!
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.

"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. |
