  Please consider joining Sarah Klepfer in the narthex on August 22nd at 6 pm to pray for God's direction and blessing in our search for a Senior Pastor.

   
• Sunday School - Answers Bible Curriculum
  

  Children in Preschool through adults are invited to join us beginning Sunday, September 8th, from 9:30-10:30 am for Answers Bible Curriculum, our new Sunday School material.  

  Answers Bible Curriculum brings the Bible to life and addresses the real life issues that confront Christians today.  Teachers and students alike get a thorough understanding of the teaching and relevance of Scripture.  All ages are equipped to defend their faith, becoming conformed to the image of Christ, as they learn to apply God's Word in their everyday life.

  If you have any questions, talk to Mindy Conner or Pastor Akers.
• 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.
