Redeemer Family,

I’m excited to announce two programming changes we are making this fall to our Youth Fellowship. Parents of rising 6th graders - rising 12th graders, please pull out those family calendars and make note!

Change #1: From Wednesday to Sunday.

For the past few years, our Youth Fellowship has met on Wednesday evenings. While many of our students and families have enjoyed this midweek anchor, the challenges of navigating homework, sports, and other extracurricular activities presents a constant challenge.

Here at Redeemer, we don’t want our church programs to pull students out of engagement with school, neighborhood, or teams, but rather equip our students to engage all of these with the hope of the Gospel and the love of Christ.

For this reason, starting this fall, we are moving the weekly Youth Fellowship Gathering from Wednesday evening to Sunday evening. We hope this eases family calendars and allows more students to participate in our Youth Fellowship.

Change #2: From Late Evening (7:00 - 9:00 p.m.) to Early Evening (5:00 - 7:00 p.m.)

Additionally, we are moving the time-slot for Youth Fellowship two hours earlier, from late evening (7:00 - 9:00 p.m.) to early evening (5:00 - 7:00 p.m.).

Again, we hope this move eases family calendars and allows more students to participate in our Youth Fellowship.

Location: Staying the Same!

While the day and time-slot are changing, the locations for High School and Middle School Youth Fellowships are remaining the same for this fall as they were this past spring:

High School Location: Home of the Paul Family - 1203 Laburnum Park Blvd

Middle School Location: Home of the Marotta Family - 1210 Palmyra Ave.

Request to Parents: Would you join me in reserving Sunday 5:00 - 7:00 p.m. for the spiritual formation, discipleship, and life-giving fellowship of your sons and daughters? Our family is making this a top priority and we would love for you to do so as well.

Thank you!

In the Father’s love,
