Beginning January 26th we will be moving our Sunday worship service to the Sanctuary. This will allow us to have more space and to seat everyone comfortably as our congregation grows. We will be moving our Welcome Table and refreshments over to the hall outside the Sanctuary and our nursery will be relocated to one of the classrooms near the Sanctuary. If you have any questions please feel free to contact Pastor Josh, joshh@redeemeroc.org or Pastor Adam, adamf@redeemeroc.org

Tween Prep Sundays
This year we are going to begin helping our 4th and 5th grade students transition into remaining in the service, which our 5th graders will begin doing at the beginning of the summer. So on four specific Tween Prep Sundays we will invite the 4th and 5th graders to remain in the chapel when the other children are dismissed. They are welcome to sit with their families or together as a class. The first date is December 29, and the remaining dates are February 23, March 29 and May 24. Thank you and we look forward to worshiping together with you!

Discovering the 12 Days of Christmas
Sunday December 22nd, 11:15AM, following the service
Christmas isn’t just one day. It’s actually a 12 day celebration beginning at sunset on Christmas Eve! The song “The 12-Days of Christmas” is more than a list of nonsensical, silly and impractical gifts: it’s a tool to teach children (and adults!) the basics of historic Christianity.
Adults and children are invited to hear Pastor Adam Feichtmann give a presentation about the history of “The 12 Days of Christmas” and how we can continue the celebration of Jesus' coming after the 25th. Kids are encouraged to stay for the first 10 minutes of the presentation and to sing the song, then there will be a craft for them in the chapel hall.
