It's easy to get lost in a crowd - to feel lonely even though you may be surrounded by worshipers on a given Sunday. That's why Redeemer Lutheran Church has a new small group ministry called Life Groups. We want everyone to have the opportunity to be known and cared for and serve the community. People grow faster spiritually in a caring, interactive group where they feel free to ask real questions and sense the support of the group.
Life Groups will meet for six Wednesday evening sessions this fall at Redeemer: September 15th and 22nd, October 6th and 13th, November 3rd and 10th. This is a "pilot" program. There are no more sessions planned until we re-evaluate in December.
Our Life Group leaders are: Kelly Cwik and Liana Fisher, Deaconess Kris, Tammy Melton, Pastor Steve, Doreen Sullivan, Nancy Lamo, and Adrienne Zhang. Sessions are from 6:15 p.m. to 7:45 p.m., with optional dinner (5:30) and worship (6:00) offered.
Watch for more information!
Worship with us online at 9:00 a.m. each Sunday
The service is also available throughout the week and on our website at redeemerwayzata.org

Sanctuary Entry Railing Restoration
The 70 year old Sanctuary railings were restored by Precision Blast and Paint LLC. Seventy years of rust and paint were sandblasted off, and the railings were powder-coated. They look like new, and were completed in a quick turn-around time of 2 weeks so they would be ready for the Waterfall dedication. Mitch King, fellow Christian, and proprietor of Precision Blast and Paint donated his skilled labor and materials to restore the railings. His generous donation saved Redeemer $750, which was the original quotation for the work. We are thankful for Mitch King and his craftsmanship and generosity.
