We need some great news (can I get an amen?!?)! Thankfully, Jesus has got that COVERED! Join us as we journey through the "Our Redeemer Lives" series for kids, ages 3-8 on Sunday nights from 4-7 pm. We will tackle common questions with answers that come straight from Scripture and remind us throughout our everyday livesof God's presence, His plan, and His purpose for us in Christ. Our Redeemer Lives!! And we will practice declaring that to one another and back in praise to ...God through these four weeks! If you are interested in joining us as we ask God to boldly move in this endeavor, we are looking specifically for people to be praying during the VBS hours so they all are covered. We have other volunteer opportunities as well and for all of those, reach out to Kiara Boynton or Caroline Kolts! Sign-ups and more info at church this Sunday!

Looking at Mark 4, this past Sunday, Pastor Drew walked us through the disciples experience of Jesus asleep in the boat during the storm. May we be people who are honest about our fears and allow the power of the Lord to help us walk forward in peace! Sermon link in profile

New to Redeemer? Or just interested in learning more about Anglicanism?? We would LOVE for you to join us on Wednesday nights, beginning on in June 30th, as we study The Anglican Way together.

The people of Texas are informed that, in accordance with a proclamation from the Executive of the United States, all slaves are free. This involves an absolute equality of personal rights and rights of property between former masters and slaves. On June 19, 1866, the Emancipation Proclamation was read out loud at the courthouse in Galveston, TX. According to history, the Christians gathered then progressed to Methodist Episcopal South (now Reedy Chapel AME Church) for a public prayer meeting. Looking back, we stand grateful for the men and women of faith who stood firm for justice, cried out to the Lord, and walked faithfully in obedience to him. Today, 155 years later, there is still progress to be made, but we, as a church, celebrate this important moment in our nations history!

Each week during the Advent Season we will have a special podcast edition discussing Advent themes. For Week 2, Pastor @mrwills23 is joined by Caroline Kolts @carolinemariekolts for a conversation on traditions and making space this advent season. We pray that these episodes encourage you in this season of waiting and preparation. Link in profile
