OUTRAGEOUS ASSIGNMENT UPDATE
Many thanks go out to the 24+ volunteers who faithfully delivered Redeemer brochures to the neighborhoods they signed up for. Almost 7000 brochures have been, or are being delivered. Only Plymouth has numerous neighborhoods that still need to be reached.
The Holy Spirit is at work, and each week, there are new visitors coming to worship at Redeemer. On October 10th, Friendship Sunday, we had 15 visitors, many of whom came because they had received a brochure. On October 17th, we had 4-6 visitors. Up to this point, all visitors had come to the second service. On October 24th, we had 2 visitors come to the 8:00 service, and 4 visitors to the 10:30 service. The Redeemer brochures are working! Praise the Lord for His faithfulness!
There are still 23,000 brochures that need to be delivered to the homes in Plymouth. And the weather is forecast to stay pleasant for the next two weeks. Possibly even longer than that. Won’t you please consider taking a walk around a piece or two of a neighborhood, and drop off on the front step a brochure inviting these neighbors to come and visit Redeemer? You are not asked to knock on the door or ring the doorbell. Just leave the brochure and move on to the next house.
Please contact Aaron Printup at 612-978-4005, Mike Fasching at 612-710-6362, or Linda Krantz at 763-476-0587. They will be happy to set you up with a map or two of neighborhoods, and enough brochures to do the job.
Pastor Steve has taken another 1000 brochures that he is committed to deliver. Won’t you join him in inviting our neighbors to come and visit Redeemer?
