News for 10/16/2022

BIG NEWS - MAKE ROOM: Last Sunday, I shared some big news. First, Jesus continues to entrust us with more and more of that which he calls most precious to him: human souls. That should humble us and encourage us. In light of this, we need to make room for others as Jesus makes room for us. During this fall season, starting on Oct. the 30th, we are going to add a third Sunday morning service. All three services 8:00|9:30|11:00 will be exactly the same. The only difference between the three will be that the 8:00 service will always have donuts.

At the beginning of last Sunday’s sermon, I explained some of where we are now, where we will be soon, and where we are headed over the next twenty years. You can watch it here, starting at the 14:40 timestamp: https://subspla.sh/5fwyjn2
 
I also asked you on Sunday morning to be missional with when you worship. We are asking 80 of you to commit to the 8:00 service and 150 of you to commit to the 11:00 service. This does not mean that you can’t go to a different service as needed. It just means that for the fall season you intend to be (more often than not) at the service you’ve committed to for worship.
 
We anticipate that the 9:30 service will likely be the most full service. So, having close to 250 people commit to a different service time will help us navigate some of our current pressure points.
 
We have a landing page with all the details you need to prepare for three services, forms to commit to worship in the 8:00 or 11:00 services, and pre-written posts you can use to invite people to gather with us. Learn more here: www.RedeemerChurch.com/MakeRoom
 
Giving Boxes: Also in an effort to free up floor space, we have no installed giving boxes (they are black metal boxes with white letters) on the wall as you walk out of the worship center and on the walls as you walk out of the front entrance.
