Job Opening
Brian Doyle, our evening Facilities Host, is moving on to a new opportunity. Therefore, Redeemer is looking to hire a new part-time person at the church. As the Facilities Host, this person would ensure the overall safety and security of people in the building and assist groups that meet in the church. The schedule would be during the work week in the evenings. If you know of someone to recommend, please contact the office at church@redeemermclean.org.
McLean Day Coordinator Needed
Do you enjoy a good town festival? Do you think Redeemer should be out in the community more often? Then this volunteer opportunity is for you! The Membership Outreach team is looking for someone to coordinate our booth and volunteers at this year's McLean Day to be held on May 16. You will be in charge of gathering a team of volunteers to set up and tear down the booth and staff the booth throughout the day. This is one of our key outreach events and we need YOU! More details are available! Please contact Karen Miller at president@redeemermclean.org or church@redeemermclean.org to get involved.

Youth Take-Home Service Project for April
Placemats for Sunrise of McLean Village—Return by May 3
Our April Service Project will be to create placemats for Sunrise of McLean Village. This involves decorating a paper placemat, with hopes of spreading joy to the residents. Specific paper will be available in Crossroads starting this Sunday. We ask that these be returned by May 3 so they can be delivered to the residents the following week on Mother’s Day. Our goal is to create at least 30 placemats as this would allow for each resident in the memory care unit to receive one. All ages are welcome to participate, and you can create more than one! Please do not use 3-D elements since the placemats will be laminated.
Little Food Pantry
The need for food assistance remains high. Please help support this important ongoing service to the community. We are currently in need of the following items:
- canned fruit
- canned vegetables
- canned hearty soups
- oatmeal packets
- granola bars
Items may be dropped off in the church narthex. Thank you!
Partner for Surgery
We have a new request from this important ministry benefitting Guatemalan children undergoing cleft palate repair. In addition to the usual infant supplies that we provide, the program has asked for a total of 45 Medela Harmony Manual breast pumps. We've already gotten 34 but need help to get to our goal. Donations can be left in Crossroads or by using the Amazon link.
