Update About Service Changes
Redeemer family, We announced on Sunday that we are ready to begin making some changes in the way we’re doing our services, beginning this coming Sunday. We’re on a journey from “Covid-era church” to “post-Covid-era church.” We hope that some of our adaptations (masks, ropes on pews, and reduced capacity) can be done by the next school year.
