Redeemer Lutheran Church

January 23, 2026


Greetings!

PLEASE NOTE: All activities scheduled for Sunday are tentative, given the potential for a significant weather event this weekend. Please look for additional email communications on Saturday with further information and guidance. 


If services do get cancelled, we are also planning to send you a link to a pre-recorded version of the service before 4pm on Saturday. 


We appreciate your understanding as we navigate the weather together. 


Sunday, January 25—Third Sunday After Epiphany—8:30 am, 9:45 am, and 11 am

With thanksgiving, we welcome John Teitman to the pulpit January 25, February 1 and 8. Sharon Core is away these three Sundays--a long-planned bucket list trip with her husband Nick to New Zealand and Australia.


It is part of our Lutheran tradition for the different parts of our liturgy to be led by the pastor and those from the congregation. Please use the link below to sign up for future weeks.

Educational Opportunities on Sunday

This week the Faith Formation, Confirmation, High School Class, and Table Talk will meet.


Constitution Updates

At last summer's Church-wide assembly, modifications to the ELCA Model Constitution were introduced. Some of these changes are required, while others are optional. Council has reviewed the updates and has created a proposed updated version of the Constitution that we will vote to adopt at the Annual Meeting on February 22nd. We are also taking this opportunity to update portions of the Constitution that are out of date (and not required). On Wednesday, Jan. 21 an email was sent out that provides the proposed Constitution changes which can also be found here. Questions can be sent to president@redeemermclean.org.

Redeemer’s Social Justice & Equity Book Club is started a new book, The Black Box by Henry Louis Gates Jr., for the new year on January 12. Anyone is welcome to join us and this would be a good time to do so! We meet every Monday via Zoom @ 7:30 pm - 8:30 pm. Contact Teresa Schellenger if interested.
