Redeemer is worshipping in-person on Sundays and we look forward to seeing you soon. Please register so that we can honor adjusted attendance capacities and observe social distancing guidelines.
An abbreviated liturgy video will be posted here for at-home worship. And you can listen to the sermon separately—it will be posted after the 11 a.m. worship service.. If you’re unable to join us in person we encourage you to continue worshipping online using these resources.
**Please note that the liturgy video is not subtitled. You will need to download the liturgy PDF to participate at home.
SUNDAY WORSHIP AND PRAYER
During the Time of Coronavirus
PREPARE
Set aside 1 hour of uninterrupted time.
Choose a good location in your home, a living room or around the kitchen table.
Light a candle.
If you have very young children who will not be able to engage, consider choosing your time of worship during their nap time or after bedtime.
If you have young children who may be able to engage with part or all of the time, tell them ahead of time and think about some things they might do while you listen to the sermon and discuss it. (Craft projects like coloring a picture, writing a letter to a neighbor, building a bible scene with legos or blocks, etc.)
Resist the impulse to multi-task. When you are praying, listening, and singing - let it be the only thing you are doing.
When you are finished, extinguish the candle, thank each other for their prayers,
and return to your work with glad and grateful hearts.
