A new inquirer’s class is starting on February 23! 

ARE YOU INTERESTED IN LEARNING MORE ABOUT REDEEMER?

This is a class to learn about what Redeemer believes as well as what membership entails (without any obligation). We want you to know where we're coming from, but we also spend lots of time hearing your questions and discussing together what's "new to you" about our church. It's six weeks to ask questions, hear about why Redeemer does what she does, and how you can be a part of it. 

Questions? Ask Matt msiple@redeemerathens.com

Class Starts February 18th! Join us as we deep dive into theology together.  

This class is for any student looking to grow in wisdom and knowledge, with the availability for 8 weeks of Tuesday night class. With a heavy emphasis on discussion, don't be intimidated by the workload! While we do ask a lot of Theology students (reading, memorization, etc.), the main hope is to learn and to grow alongside your friends. 

Theology 101, 102, and 103 can be taken in any order-- so feel free to jump in! $40 pays for your workbook and other books; returning students only need to pay $15 for the next workbook. 

While this class is recommended for high school students, middle schoolers are welcome to join in. If you have questions or need a book scholarship, please reach out to Wes!

Come hear about what God is doing in Athens Greece on Tuesday night. Church planting pastor Erik Petrou will be in town. Erik pastors the Breath of Life church plant in Neos Kosmos and has received the RPCYouth mission teams. Nick and Christina Brannen will be hosting a dinner for Redeemer folks to hear from him. The gathering starts at 6pm and the address is 585 Kings Road Athens, GA 30606.

Come to the monthly men’s morning prayer on the last Tuesday of each month. The next gathering is Tuesday, August 27th in the Redeemer Sanctuary. Doors open at 6:15am.  No sign up, just show up.

5:00pm | Fellowship Gathering
6:30pm | Service
 

 Join us for Redeemer’s Annual Lessons & Carols; a service that celebrates the birth of Christ with scripture reading, Christmas carols, and hymns. 

This year, we will begin the night with a fellowship gathering around fire pits with s'mores, hot cocoa and a collection of homemade treats and baked goods from members of the congregation. Come for a festive gathering in the parking lot next to the Firestone Room starting at 5pm. It is is raining, we will be in the Lower Warehouse. The worship service will then be held in the church sanctuary at 6:30pm and the nursery will be provided for young children during the service. 

Prayer is vital to our individual Christian lives and to the life of our church. Secondarily, this will offer us an opportunity to develop deeper personal relationship  across the body. Nothing connects us better than prayer with people, and food. 
           
Here are some of the details:

• Redeemer will provide the main portion of the meal (the meat) and drinks, and those of you who attend will bring sides and/or desert.

• We will meet in the Lower Warehouse.

  • 5:30 pm – 6:30 pm // Fellowship Dinner

  • 6:30 pm – 7:30 pm // Prayer

• This is for the whole church family, to include children and youth. There will be no nursery, but please don’t let that stop you from coming.

• For those who have community groups on Sunday evening, we are asking that you make this part of your community group schedule and attend corporate prayer.     

Come to the monthly men’s morning prayer on the last Tuesday of each month. The next gathering is Tuesday, August 27th in the Redeemer Sanctuary. Doors open at 6:15am.  No sign up, just show up.
