LIVESTREAM UPDATE

Our Redeemer Lutheran Church would like to apologize for any inconvenience caused by the lack of live streaming capabilities. On April 22, 2024, Meta/ Facebook removed permissions, features and abilities to publish a LIVE video. ORELC is working hard to find an alternative way to create Live Video. Please join us in person on Sunday at 9:15 a.m. for Divine Service or you may listen on 96.7FM radio from the church parking lot. Thank you for your patience.

 

WHAT IS A.B.C.?

Adult Bible Class follows Divine Worship at 10:30AM in Martin Hall and is led by Pastor Stinnett or an Elder. It is a time for the adults to become more involved in Bible study, conveniently at the same time as children’s Sunday School.

It is so important for us to be studying God’s Word, and ABC is such a wonderful opportunity to do that with our brothers and sisters in Christ. The Social Board always has a pot of coffee ready and delicious treats to snack on. Come, grab a cup of coffee, and meet with your friends, or make new ones, as you Grow in Christ too!

“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.” (Colossians 3:16)

SATURDAY WOMEN'S BIBLE STUDY

Looking for some fellowship and time in God's Word? A new Women's Bible Study is being formed and we welcome you! Bring a Bible and your coffee or tea and join us for the Saturday Women’s Bible Study group.

Perfect for those who have never done a Bible study before and/or those who don't have time to devote to a weekly study. This will be a time for fellowship and study with a relaxed pace using CPH's “God's Word for Today” study of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd John. 

We meet on the first two Saturdays each month, March through May (March 2 & 9, April 6 & 13, May 4 & 11)Homework will be light — just read the Bible passages. Call the church office (232-7575) for more information,
