• Midweek Lenten Services
  

  The theme of our midweek services this year is “A Lent to Remember.” We will focus on something that either God remembers or that He calls us to remember. Services will be held each Wednesday in Lent at both noon and 7:00 pm.  

  Join us for food and fellowship at 5:45 pm in Fellowship Hall for a Lenten dinner.
• New Adult Bible Class
  

  Christian Vocation – the Lutheran Difference meets Sunday mornings at 9:30 am in Mission Hall led by Pastor Akers.

  Christians are pressed to limit the role of faith in their life. We can express our faith in worship, but often see little connection between faith and our work life.

  What’s missing is an understanding of vocation, or calling. God provides each Christian with gifts and circumstances that define a station in life. The purpose of this station is to serve our neighbors and play a part in God’s providential care for humanity. This means that even work with low worldly status is something God calls us to do.

  The life-changing implications of this perspective are the focus of our Bible study.
• Church Nursery
  

  Here at Our Redeemer we would like to revitalize our nursery ministry, especially during the 10:45 am worship service, when there is the most need. Serving in the church nursery is important and here are seven reasons why:

  1. God is in the church nursery. This may come as a shock, but the Bible has specific promises about God's presence when children are welcomed and loved in Jesus' name.

  2. Service in the church nursery allows churchgoers to focus on worship, rather than worrying about their children. In a very real sense, the nursery ministry makes it possible for the pastor to fulfill his ministry.

  3. The first (and sometimes lasting) feelings a child will have toward church are formed in the nursery department. A positive experience in the church nursery is essential.

  4. When you serve in the nursery, you are being entrusted with the most important (and vulnerable) members of the church family. There is no greater treasure on this side of Heaven than the little ones God has given us. You must be someone special to have a job that is so important.

  5. Your service is essential for your own spiritual growth. You may have never looked at it this way, but a growing Christian is always a serving Christian. Jesus was known for putting others first. When you serve in the church nursery, you are walking in this example.

  6. The church nursery is the first contact young families will have with your church. Your friendly greeting and exceptional care for their children can make a great first impression for your church. If they don't feel like their children are safe, they will not return—and rightly so.

  7. Your service in the church nursery is a powerful opportunity for prayer. If every nursery worker would spend several minutes praying over the children in their care, imagine how God might begin to change this coming generation. There is no better way to create an environment of spiritual nurture than to pray while you serve in the nursery.

  We are seeking individuals would want to make a difference in our church by ministering to our youngest worshippers. Our goal is to have enough staff so that you would serve once every two months. If you would like to be a part of this important ministry team, please talk to Pastor Akers, Sheryl Hartman, Kitty Davis, or Kaila Akers, or sign up at the Welcome Center.
