Prepare for Christ’s Coming:He Comes to Reign Forever Redeemer Lutheran Church Sunday, December 18th
Welcome toRedeemer! Welcome to Redeemer as we celebrate the last week of our Advent series. We have prepared our hearts for Christ’s arrival, and now we wait for him to come and reign forever. His coming means life and salvation for the world.
For Our Guests If you have questions, let us try to help. Speak with an usher, greeter, or the person next to you. If you’d like to learn more about Redeemer and its ministry, please talk to Pastor Wolfe or a church member after the service.
Children’s Message Each week, our younger worshipers are invited to the front of church before the sermon hymn to hear a special message for them from Pastor Wolfe.
