Service Opportunities

February 2011

ACOLYTES

Looking for a way to serve the Lord? How about becoming
an ACOLYTE?

<>What is an ACOLYTE? It is more than just lighting candles. Think of performing acolyte duties as having court-side seats at your favorite sporting event.... All middle school and high school age youth have the
<> opportunity to wear really cool clothes, all the while assisting Pastor with the worship service. Performing acolyte duties is a very spiritually fulfilling opportunity and all youth are encouraged to participate. By actively participating, your perspective on worshiprship could be altered dramatically forever.

We are also looking for adults to serve as acolytes. All acolytes will be assigned to serve on a rotating schedule. No experience is needed. Our goal is to have acolytes serving at all services. Adults and youth will be trained on Sunday, February 6 after the first service, at 9:15 am. Please see Pastor if you need more information.


LUTHERAN SUMMER MUSIC

Redeemer is sponsoring a student to attend  the Lutheran Summer Music program again this year. This program, held at Luther College in Decorah, Iowa, is a 4 week opportunity to study with other Lutheran students from across the country. There is a designated fund established for donations to this marvelous program.

Please prayerfully consider supporting this program to build musicians within the church. If you are interested in donating, please mark your envelopes with "LSM" or "Lutheran Summer Music."
