Cambodia Update
Dear Redeemer Family, The heart of man plans his way, but the LORD establishes his steps (Proverbs 16:9). Don’t you love when God’s Word proves itself so plainly true?! Oh the stories we could all tell! Let me briefly share one as it relates to our church’s plans for global missions. As you probably know, last September, our church sent a team of fifteen people to…
None Like Him, Supplements for Ch. 10
All Redeemer ladies are invited to join us as we read and discuss Jen Wilkin’s book, None Like Him, during our fellowship group meetings this year.

Parenting Seminar May 2020
Dear Fellow Parents, I love being a dad! It’s one of my favorite things to be. And it’s really difficult being a dad. Not so much because my children are difficult, but because I am. I have issues. I need help. God’s grace is at work in me, but I require a lot of work. I have found that frequent check-ups, reminders, and restarts are essential in pretty much every area…

World Relief’s Global Gala
If your evenings are starting to feel a little monotonous, (Groundhog Day, anyone?) we have a wonderful opportunity for you this Thursday night.

Good Music for Good Friday
Today is Good Friday—the day we remember the crucifixion of our Lord. We hope this day finds you with some time to sit at the foot of the cross and reflect on the death of Christ and its significance for you. We look forward to doing that “together” tonight in our service at 7:00. After our service, we also want to point you to a recording of a Tenebrae service featuring…
Spreading Resurrection Hope
He is risen! He is risen indeed! Though social isolation continues and we will not be gathering physically to celebrate Easter this Sunday, the most important thing about Easter (and every day) remains unchanged: the tomb IS empty. Christ HAS risen from the dead! This will be a unique Sunday, and our celebration will feel different. But in unique times, we also have…
