"In solitude, we leave behind our many activities, concerns, plans, and projects to enter into the presence of Love, vulnerable, open, and receptive." ~ Henri Nouwen.
This November, Redeemer returns to the Monastery of the Holy Spirit in Conyers for our next silent retreat. It is exactly what it sounds like: several days of still, unhurried time, prayer, good meals, long walks on beautiful grounds, and time with a spiritual director. No obligations. Nothing to produce. We have both a 3-day (November 13th -15th) and a 5-day (November 11th - 15th) option. We’d love to have you.
For more information, please visit this page.
Pay your deposit at this link to reserve your spot for either option.
Email Pastor Matt with any questions!

Beginning this semester, we will host monthly "Church-Wide Coffee and Pastries" between the two worship services from 10:15 - 11 am. Our hope is to create a monthly fellowship for us all to be together on Sunday mornings. So, 11 am service attenders, please come early for this event at 10:15 am, and 9:15 am service attenders, please plan to stay! Mark your calendars for these key Sundays:
+ August 16th
+ September 13th
+ October 11th
+ November 15th
We are beginning our first Wednesday evening church service on August 12th from 6 - 7 pm in the Student Chapel.
The service is entitled “Evening Prayer and Bible Teaching.” We will spend the first twenty minutes of the service praying the Anglican Book of Common Prayer Evening Prayer, which is a communal prayer service with scripture, prayers, and reading and response. We will then have Bible teaching and discussion for the remaining time until 7 pm.
Our hope is to dive deeper into how we live out this radical grace we talk so much about on Sundays: what does a life of walking with Jesus look like? The service is for adults (no childcare), so come as you are able. The service is there for you—to be a spiritual practice and community building for you and our church.
Our plan is to rotate different pastors leading this service each week. The service will be every Wednesday, except for Thanksgiving week (November 25th) and the last two Wednesdays of the year due to the holiday season (December 23rd and 30th). This fall semester, we will study Tim Keller’s "Praying with the Psalms" as our Bible teaching/study. If you would like to follow along, you can buy a PDF of the participant guide for a few dollars at Gospel in Life using this link. Hope to see you there!
August is small group sign-up month! We have a variety of groups to choose from, including monthly Community Dinner Groups, women’s and men’s small groups, prayer groups, and Sunday School classes.

Parents of Rising Kindergarteners: In 2021, our staff began implementing a discipleship plan for Redeemer's families with children. Family discipleship is about parents and children growing in the grace of God by living more deeply in the great wealth of our beloved identity in Jesus Christ. The plan helps families understand how to best use time, use moments, and celebrate milestones as a child grows and develops. You can read more about the plan on our website by clicking here.
We recognize entering kindergarten as a milestone in the lives of our children and want to celebrate these kiddos! On Sunday, August 2nd, we will host a Kindergarten Blessing at each service (9:15 and 11 am). If you would like for your child to participate in this special service, please email Annie by July 26th.
As of August 2nd, we will resume hosting two services at 9:15 and 11 am.

Each of these milestones represents years of steady work, growth, and preparation for ministry, and we are grateful for the way God has sustained them.
After the 11 am service, please plan to stay for a church-wide pizza lunch from Micah-Angelo's Pizza. This will be a simple time to be together, celebrate (with cookies!), and recognize what the Lord has done in and through each of them. We are thankful for these men, and for the role they play in the life of our church. We look forward to celebrating with you all!

Mark your calendar for our spring picnic and Easter egg hunt on March 29th from 12:15 pm - 2 pm (weather permitting). Pack a picnic (or pick up lunch on the way) for our church-wide fellowship event at the Sims’ Farm. Be sure to bring a blanket or chairs for seating.
Parents: Please bring a dozen eggs (filled with small prizes or nut-free candy) for each child who will participate in the egg hunt. Parents will hide eggs during lunch before the egg hunt starts at 1:30 pm.
Parking: Please park in the grass along the front pasture. Try to park perpendicular to the fence line/road to allow more cars to be able to park. There is a short walking distance from the road (approximately a football field), so a few cars can park at the house, but there is extremely limited space to turn around in the driveway.
Weather: We will keep an eye on the forecast throughout that weekend. If rainy conditions are expected that afternoon, we will send out a church-wide email notifying everyone of the cancellation by 9 am on March 29th.
