Fall Stewardship Campaign: "Building a Culture of Generosity" --A Letter from Pastor Linderman Dear Friends of Redeemer: Remember back in March when we thought that the Coronavirus would impact our lives for a few weeks or maybe even a month? For most of us, we recognize that this has been one of the most, if not the most difficult years of our lives. It is in this difficulty that the world has seen the importance of the church and our message of grace more clearly than at any time during my lifetime. It has also been through the ways in which our church has responded in these last months that I have had a tremendous sense of awe in the giftedness of our members. Let me say thank you for the ways in which you stepped up to continue to worship, to care for one another, and to look for opportunities to share the Gospel when our community so clearly needed the Gospel. Let me also encourage you that I believe what God has shown us through this crisis is our need to walk together, continue to innovate, and step up the ways in which we share God’s love to a world that still so desperately needs to recognize God’s love. Your generosity this year is as important as it has ever been to not just keep our congregation healthy, but to also help us develop the church to continue to impact the world in significant ways. As we enter into our stewardship drive this year, let’s think about all the ways that we have seen generosity this year. And let us give thanks to God for all of His grace and goodness.

News & Events
Coronavirus and the Church
Dear Redeemer community,
It seems as though the Coronavirus will affect our normal routines over the foreseeable future. I want to let you know some ways in which we anticipate that this upheaval will impact our life together as a congregation.
I encourage everyone to start with good communication based on trustworthy information. Redeemer is closely following all communication from federal and state government, local government and our local superintendent of schools. We are in regular contact with our community groups, renters and the LEAP school, and have excellent communication channels to our families in the congregation. If you do not receive our weekly “e-blast” emails, please contact the church office and provide your email to us.
Also, the Redeemer church council recently established an ad hoc committee to review possible impacts and procedures in the event that the virus outbreak worsens in our area. In the meantime, we will continue to meet for worship at the regular times, but we have already started practicing some social distancing measures, such as not shaking hands during the Sharing of the Peace. Communion during Lent is at the Communion Rail, which means each person gets their own small glass. There is plenty of hand sanitizer around, and your worship leaders are paying very close attention to hygiene. But if you feel uncomfortable among large groups of people, you should feel free to stay home. Please contact the church office with any pastoral needs.
Most of all, times like these are an opportunity to recall the promises of God. God is love, and love lives without fear. While we are cautious and careful, we are also confident in community and trust in God’s steadfast love, which holds us in the power of His eternal life, especially now, but also forever.
Yours in Christ,
PL
