Time, Talent, Treasure

Stewardship demonstrates one’s own understanding of what Christ has done for him/her.

Giving Christ our time, talents, and treasures is our living prayer of thanksgiving to Christ.

It is also our response to Him for what He has done and continues to do for us.

SUNDAY OFFERING

Welcome! Our Redeemer Evangelical Lutheran Church (LC-MS) offers members and visitors an easy and convenient way to support us by your tithes and offerings.

We encourage you to make your gift online, whether you attend services in person or virtually. You can make a one-time or a recurring donation, so that your generosity contributes even when you are not able to attend service. Thank you for your support!

Sunday Offering

Serving Behind the Scenes

Serving Behind the Scenes

A special group of volunteers helps prepare the altar and sanctuary for Sunday morning services. This includes things like filling candles, caring for altar linens, and setting up/taking down for communion and baptisms.

Members work in teams and are usually on duty a few times per year. Each member is trained by and works with an experienced member for as long as necessary.

If you are interested in becoming part of this group, contact the Altar Guild Chair by calling the church office at 232-7575.

Thank you and may our risen LORD and Savior Jesus Christ bless you.

Memorial Gifts

Clean Team Ministry

Clean Team Ministry

We are incredibly blessed to have four dedicated Clean Teams at ORELC! These folks maintain all the rooms and hallways that Our Redeemer uses from the Sanctuary to the classrooms to the bathrooms.

If you are interested in serving in this ministry, please know that you can give as much or little time as your schedule allows, but usually only one or two hours per month.

Please speak with any Trustee, trustees@orelc.org, to inquire about this volunteer opportunity.

Lenten Offering

Join an Usher Team

Join an Usher Team

To the men and women of the congregation, including recent Confirmands, prayerfully consider becoming an usher.

The commitment is once every 4 weeks. Ushering allows you to serve God by serving His people, during a time when you would normally be at church. 

Please speak with the Head Usher if you can help make positive experiences in this ministry. We have four great teams and ask you to join one of them!

FLOWER FUND

Our Redeemer Lutheran Church will be beautifully adorned during the Holy Season of Easter.

Please consider a donation to the Flower Fund, which enables us to decorate our beautiful church, and invites everyone to make any size gift.

Make your Flower Fund donation via the offering envelope attached to this bulletin. If using online giving, select the “Special Donation” fund, noting ”Flower Fund” in the note section.

If you wish to make an Easter intention with your donation, please fill out the envelope and place it in any offering by April 6.
