Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, Jan. 18-25
Taking place between the feast days of the Confession of St. Peter (January 18th) and the Conversion of St. Paul (January 25th), the international Week of Prayer for Christian Unity is a week of dedicated prayer for unity across Christian traditions. It reminds us that even as there are differences and often divided traditions, Jesus desires his people to be one as he and the Father are one (John 17:20-21)
Abbey Director, Rev. Zach Croonquist, shares more about what this will look like here at Redeemer in this video. We also have a prayer and reflection guide for the week available here (physical copies will be available after the service on January 18th). You can learn more about the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity at the link below.
Joint Service & Potluck, Jan. 25th
Our next Joint International Service is on Sunday, January 25th starting at 2pm. On the last Sunday of the month, our international services host this multilingual service to bring together our church family from all of our services to worship and fellowship together as one body. Be sure to stay after the service for a time of fellowship and feasting (bring a dish to share)!
Vocare Day: Called To Work, Created to Flourish, Oct. 11th
As Christians, we believe that your work - whatever you are called to do in your current season - matters. Vocation is not simply what you do for a paycheck, but rather it is work that God has called us all into, and we are created to flourish in.
"Vocare" is Latin for "to call". God has called Christians as a whole to many things, but each individual also has a particular calling and piece of God's kingdom that they are meant to help build.
Vocare Day: Called to Work, Created to Flourish is a half-day event on January 31st, 8am-1pm, designed to explore exactly what it means to be a good and faithful witnesses in our work. You’ll hear from a variety of speakers and participate in breakout groups. We’ll also have vocational classes for children and youth.

Volunteer in Redeemer Kids!
We love our Redeemer kiddos & you don’t have to look too hard on any given Sunday to see we have LOTS of them (with more to come)! It takes many hands to care for and disciple our littlest saints. There is a current urgent need for additional hands in Redeemer Kids, specifically on the Nursery and Children’s Check-in team. If you’re interested in volunteering, sign up below to fill out the application, or reach out to Anna Lynch if you have any questions.
