Parent Help Needed
Below are two ways you can help serve in the next few weeks!
- Church of the Redeemer is hosting The Compassion Experience from Oct. 6-9. We need to have 2 adults and 8 youth willing to lead on Oct. 7 at Church of the Redeemer. We will have 2 shifts, where we need to have 1 adult and 4 youth (14 & older) at each shift. Register HERE so you can serve!
- Rides on Sunday nights. Now that SNL meets immediately after the East African service ends, we are excited that some of our East African friends will be joining us for youth group. If you're ever able to help give folks rides home after SNL, let Melissa know.
SNL: 6-8pm at NGP
Each week, we are giving our kids the chance to memorize a weekly scripture verse, and earning points for their beloved teams...Team Burger or Team Taco. This week, our verse is Ephesians 2:10, “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.”
We meet again this Sunday night, 6-8pm at New Garden Park.
Moms Bible Study
There have been a few moms who have expressed interest in doing a bible study/small group together on Sunday nights during SNL. If you're interested in being a part of that, email Emily Hull. The ladies will be doing a Beth Moore study on the book of James. Just to update you on the process, everyone needs to order a book, which you can get on Amazon (link here), or Lifeway (link here). We are happy to add onto the pizza order already coming for the kids, so if you want to do that, let Melissa know and pay them $5 per meal.
SNL FOOD $
It worked well last year to have folks pay for SNL food upfront, rather than bringing $5 each week. We'll continue to provide dinner each Sunday night this semester, mostly pizza, but we will do different food when we have small group nights at homes and we'll do a catered meal for the winning team. We also will do a pot-luck dinner for our Christmas party on Dec. 17th. In light of the meal costs, could you send $50/kid cash or check (payable to "Church of the Redeemer" with "youth budget" in the memo) with your child this Sunday night. That will help offset the costs for Sunday night meals this semester.
DRIVE/THE Q
Our Sunday morning discipleship environments started back this past Sunday, during the 10am community hour. We will meet every week in between the 8:30 and 11am service. While adults are fellowshipping in the Greenhouse, middle and high schoolers will gather in The Grove for DRIVE and THE Q. Students will have time to grab a snack at 10am and we'll start promptly at 10:15am and end by 10:55am.
SERVING
Now that we have two services, there are lots of opportunities for youth to serve. Youth could attend the 8:30 service, come to DRIVE/THE Q at 10:15, and then volunteer in children's ministry during the 11am service. If your child is interested in volunteering in the Children's Ministry, there will be a quick interest meeting this Sunday in the Greenhouse immediately following the first service before DRIVE/THE Q starts. Find Cherie Weber after the service. There are also other areas to serve in addition to children's ministry. Let Drew or Melissa know if you want to be on a different servant team (AV, readers, welcome, worship, ushers, etc...)
