Redeemer will host abbreviated in person worship services beginning Sunday, July 12. We invite you to attend and encourage you to register ahead of time for next week’s service so that we can plan to honor adjusted attendance capacities and observe social distancing guidelines.
The sermon for each Sunday will be posted here.
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.
There will not be a worship service video posted this week. Thank you for patience as we adjust to the rhythms of reopening. We look forward to providing worship at home resources for next Sunday, July 19.
When you are finished, extinguish the candle, thank each other for their prayers,
and return to your work with glad and grateful hearts.
