The Concert Choir from Michigan Lutheran Seminary in Saginaw will present a concert of sacred music at Salem Lutheran Church in Ann Arbor on Friday, March 14 at 7 pm. If you can host some students overnight, email Paul Jansen (pastor@salem-annarbor.org). Hosts will provide a breakfast, bag lunch, and return students to Salem at 7:45 am on Saturday.

Redeemer will have an Ash Wednesday service with communion on March 5 at 7 pm. For the remainder of Lent, both Salem in Ann Arbor and Trinity in Saline will be holding midweek services on Wednesdays at 7 pm.

In November we had an Everyone Outreach workshop about fostering an outreach culture at Redeemer. On the first Sundays of the month from March to May, we will have a 30 min. brainstorming session after church. Everyone is invited to come—not just the workshop participants! On March 2, we’ll discuss church from the perspective of a first time guest.

Growth groups are small groups of Redeemer members who commit to meeting for one hour a month to grow closer as friends. Growth groups are meeting from January–March. Look for details from your group facilitator as to when and where you are meeting. If you would like to join a group or switch groups, please email Denise Reinke, our inreach coordinator. 

Sunday School for children and Bible study for adults is held on Sundays from 9–9:45 am. Adult Bible study is currently studying our stewardship of truth, time, and temple.

Our synod has asked Pastor Jacob Haag to help develop resources for Stewardship Legacy. Stewardship Legacy is a sermon and Bible study series on how we can pass on the blessings we have received from God to future generations. This series will be focusing on “temple.” These resources will be field tested at Redeemer during the month of February before they will be shared with the synod at large. Please share any feedback you have.

The Sisters in Christ Retreat will be held from March 14–16 in Bay City. More information and registration is available at sistersinchristretreat.org. 

Pastor Jacob Haag would like to increase member visits to every year. Available times include during the day, evenings, or Saturdays. Look for an email to schedule a time.
