Connections
Registration for Winter Connections is OPEN!
Connections is our mid-week gathering on Wednesday nights, where we share a meal together at 6pm in the Greenhouse and then split off into various classes and groups at 6:45pm.
Winter Connections will run from January 14th through March 25th (Connections will not meet on February 18th, which is Ash Wednesday). Our meal on the first night will be potluck, with the remaining weeks mainly being catered meals. Registration for classes are open (we plan to add some more classes soon). Childcare will be available for infants and kids up to 5th grade
If you have any questions about Connections, reach out to Michael Ellison.
What is Connections?
Connections is a time for us to come together mid-week as a community to enjoy fellowshipping, serving, and learning alongside one another.
We gather for 3 rounds of Connections each year: Winter (January-March), Summer (June and July), and Fall (September-November). During each round, we meet on Wednesdays evenings and begin with a meal together before breaking off into various groups at 6:45 p.m.!
During our Summer Connections we work on our Farm together—planting, harvesting, and tidying up! For both our Fall and Winter Connections we gather for classes.
These classes can range widely in topics, from creation care to immigration to the book of Revelation. Connections is also a time for adult catechumenate classes. These classes are where newer folks and non-confirmed adults can learn more about Church of the Redeemer, church history, and theology, in preparation for confirmation and membership. While the adults are in their classes or discussion groups, nursery care and children’s classes will be held in the Grove!
If you have any questions about Connections, reach out to Rev. Zach Croonquist.
We believe the Lord has given us our minds and bodies to love and serve him and his creation, so whether we are growing in knowledge by taking a course or directly serving our neighbor, Connections is a time for us to gather to do so in love together!
Any ideas for Connections courses or serving opportunities?
Would you like to initiate an idea for a course? Whether it’s focused on exploring an academic topic, reading a devotional book, or meeting to practice a spiritual discipline together, these courses are something which we love for people in our church to participate in designing and implementing. We would also love to hear your thoughts on ways in which we could be involved in knowing and blessing our community through service and relationship! Please submit ideas to our curate Zach here and he will reach out to you!
