Does Redeemer Need To Expand?
A meeting will
be held in the Fellowship Hall on Wednesday Evening,
January 25th 2012 beginning at 6:30 PM and
ending at 8:00 PM sharp to discuss this very subject. The findings
presented by the Congregational Renewal Team at the end of 2010 stated
that our current church facility is not adequate for us at this time and
that Redeemer cannot grow without expanding our building. If you have
any interest in working on an Expansion Research Team, please plan to
attend this meeting. Gordon Chandler will be facilitating this meeting
and coordinating the Expansion Research Team. The goal at this time is
to provide our members and associates with a report at the June Voter’s
meeting to determine whether we should proceed with an addition to our
church. Our report may or may not recommend an expansion, and we want
to hear from you.
The Victory Bible Reading Plan for this week:

Use of Church Facilities
The Facilities
Request Form on now available on
this website, making it even easier to schedule your events. So,
whenever you need to schedule any of our church facilities, just
complete this form online and email it to the church secretary (gordonjchandler@gmail.com),
or print it out and place it my desk. Please remember to fill out this
form in order to avoid scheduling conflicts here at Redeemer. Please
remember that anyone may schedule the Use of Church Facilities by
sending an email to the church secretary:
Gordon@redeemrparkton.com or
gordonjchandler@gmail.com or completing the Use of Church Facilities
request form and delivering it to the secretary’s mailbox or placing it

there any conflicts with a previous request; then the secretary notifies
the Trustees for final approval. After receiving final approval, the
Church Calendar will be updated and you will notified by the secretary
that you are good to go. One word of advice…if you just walk into the
office and write your request on the wall calendar you have not obtained
approval yet. So please take a few seconds to notify the secretary. This
will help avoid any future scheduling conflicts. Thank you! ~Gordon

Lutheran Mission
Society
LMS Compassion
Care Needs.... The Lutheran Mission Society needs your help! Disposable
diapers are an expense that is not covered by benefits given by the
state. For the working poor and the homeless, this takes a large amount
from the monies they receive. These diapers will be used in the
Compassion Care Program for women with young children in Annapolis, but
will also be sent to the other LMS centers where they have the need.
This is an ongoing need, but is critical right now. Especially needed
are diapers and pull-ups in larger sizes (3, 4 and 5). Other personal
care items for babies would also be greatly appreciated -- baby wipes,
baby wash, baby powder, etc. Contact Leslie Jaseph at 410-636-0123 or
email
ljaseph@lutheranmissionsociety.org . Thank you for your support of
LMS!
Have your children left home for
school? Or elsewhere?
We’d like to continue sending them our news, etc. and would like to
update the Directory to include them. Please contact the church office
with any changes to your address, phone and/or email.

Esther Circle
Who is the
Esther Circle? Esther Circle is the core group for women's projects and
programs at Redeemer. While Esther Circle is a branch of the larger LWML
in our district, the main focus of this group is to offer ministry to
the women of Redeemer.
The structure for our meetings is based on the worship of the early
Christian church described in Acts 2: 42-47. They contain elements of
prayer, teaching, the breaking of bread, fellowship and ministry both to
each other, the church and our communities.
The ministry of Esther Circle can only be successful if we are aware of
the needs of all of the women in the church. This is a group for all
women of all ages and stations in life. If you have an idea for women,
if want to learn or teach a skill; and if you have the desire to explore
the Bible, our Circle is your Circle. We meet on the third Tuesday of
every month, from 7:00 - 8:30 in the Fellowship Hall of the church.
We welcome all visitors and
guests to join us for our monthly meetings, service projects and social
events.
