Ash Wednesday

We are happy to announce that our annual

Ash Wednesday tradition of offering ashes throughout the day will happen again this year.

Synod Authorized Minister Arlin Scott will be in front of the church from

ASH WEDNESDAY, 

February 18, 2026 

Please stop by. You can also bring your children.

For those too young to understand,

Arlin will mark their hands with the ashes and say,

“Remember that Jesus loves you.” 

The Annual Meeting will be on 

Sunday, February 22nd, following worship, for the presentation of committee reports and to elect new council members.

Quilting and Fellowship

Every Wednesday at 9:00 am

The quilting group "Operation LOVE" at Our Redeemer has been creating quilts for the Lutheran World Relief quilt ministry for many years. About 100 quilts are sent annually to Lutheran World Relief for distribution to those in need around the world.

Operation LOVE meets every Wednesday at 9:00 am in the coffee room. Anyone interested in participating in this ongoing project is encouraged to join the group at any time. 

Sewing/quilting experience is not essential since there are different ways to give assistance.

From the Preschool Director

February is the month of love and appreciation! We will show our friends at school lots of love with a Valentine's celebration on the 11^th & 12^th of February. Each class will make a friendship fruit salad and pass out valentines to their classmates. Look for more details from your student’s teacher.

It is also time for the Our Redeemer Annual Mario Kart Trike-A-Thon! This is a fun-filled event, so please join us to cheer on your little ones as they race around the track! Please see the posted schedule for your student’s class time.

With this month of appreciation, I would like to say thank you to the entire staff of Our Redeemer for the love and dedication they give the students every day, and thank you, parents for sharing your wonderful children with us. They fill our days with love and smiles!

Wishing you all a month of happiness, fun, and friendship!

Happy Valentines
