Family Mission Trip to New OrleansI am delighted to report that the family mission trip to New Orleans is full! (We will be starting a waiting list). The Redeemer really has a heart for mission, and I am excited by the energy around the trip. We will have a few preparation meetings designed to get to know our St. Stephen’s partners and learn more about New Orleans post-Katrina. Missioners are also encouraged to help with the mission support events in the coming months. Thank you all for your dedication and willingness to support mission work at the Redeemer. |

Gulf Coast Bash at the Undercroft Jazz Hall
On Friday, May 2nd there will be the party of the year at the Undercroft Jazz Hall. The day promises great music, southern style food and cocktails, a silent auction, and lots of fun. There are even rumors of an appearance by the Redeemer Blues Brothers. This event will support the Redeemer/St. Stephen’s mission trip to Resurrection House in New Orleans. Our missionaries will be helping a needy family rebuild their home in New Orleans. The money raised at this event will help fund scholarships for the mission trip.

Uganda Pen-Pal Project: Update and Reminder! Dear Redeemer Families, So far we have matched more than 40 students at the
Pilgrim-sponsored School in Uganda with Pen-Pals! If you chose a student to
write to, now is the time to send your letter off to Pilgrim's Seattle
address! A delegation will be leaving Seattle for Uganda on April 28 and
would love to have your letters to hand out to the students when they
arrive! In case you have misplaced the address, it is: Three Loaves Fund We have 24 more Pen-Pal letters (all boys!) remaining, so please consider picking one up at the next coffee hour. A simple letter from the U. S. would mean a lot to these amazing children, and can take as little as 10 minutes to write! For more information, contact Leslie Williams, Leswill@gmail.com or 617-969-0470. Thank you!! |
