Clergy Reflection


For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance … will surely arise from another corner … But what if you have come to where you are for such a time as this? (Esther 4:14)

This Week in Sunday School

 

Jesus read from the scroll of Isaiah in the synagogue in Nazareth, revealing his main message of good news for the poor, freedom for captives, and healing for the oppressed. Classes will learn how the people in Nazareth reacted to this message and explore their own reactions and emotions to it. Classes will also join worship early to witness the baptism taking place.


Sunday school begins at 9:45 in the classrooms. Anna+ and Liz will be there at 9:30 to welcome all teachers, students, and parents as they arrive. 

 

Are your children ready to join Sunday School for the first time in 2025? Please register them hereRedeemer’s Sunday School program welcomes three age groups: Pre-K (ages 3 and 4), grades K-2, and grades 3-5. Nursery care is available for children under the age of three. Contact Rev. Anna, Director of Children’s Ministries, with any questions.
