Seeking service assistants

Acolytes 5th-7th grade

Servers 8th-12th grade

 Being a service assistant is a great way to learn

about Christian worship and meet other youth in our parish.

We don't schedule our Service Assistants every week,

so you can still go to Church School or do other things.

There is a training for new Service Assistants

on Saturday, September 12th at 10 am. You'll learn everything you need to know.

Interested? Please contact the office as soon as possible

so that we can get you on the schedule.

Thank You To Those Who Have Volunteered To Be Stewardship Shepherds!

Shepherd Packages will be mailed out the first week of September,

so keep your eyes on your mailbox. 

Your work as a Shepherd helps the Redeemer continue to be the place where we can get answers to the most important questions in life, from infancy to advanced age, and to go out in the world and make a difference. 

Many blessings to our dedicated volunteers!

Call for Stewardship Tenders

Want to help but not quite ready to be a Shepherd?

We have many very busy Shepherds who work downtown, are on the road, are full time caring for kids and many other good works.  Some could use a hand with some of the practical aspects of collecting pledge cards, and getting them physically into the bags. If anyone would like to volunteer to help our shepherds with some of the logistics, and get very discrete assignments to help pick up a pledge between October 10 and November 1, or for other small tasks (helping with detail of training or other social gatherings), please contact Laine in the office.

×Gather a group of 10 or more people from your school, parish, deanery or community to work together at one of the sites.

×Donate money or supplies (paint, brushes, trash bags, gloves, water, snacks, etc.).
