The Chrysalis

Current news from Holy Redeemer Lutheran Church 
-- a place of safety --
February 1, 2017                            Vol. 18, Issue 2
  Greetings!

You have just received the February 1, 2017 Chrysalis - the newsletter of Holy Redeemer Lutheran Church. Please read through it for information concerning events during the coming month. Chrysalis will be published by the office staff, in this form, near the first of each month -- with special editions during the month as warranted.

If you desire a printed copy of the Chrysalis you may print this email version (as with any email you receive). There will also be a few printed copies in the narthex for visitors and for members of HRLC who do not have printing capabilities. [Note: This is an email and does not paginate the way a non-email might.]

Should you accidentally (or deliberately) delete this email, you may also find a link to the Chrysalis on our web site (www.hrlcsj.org).
