A Father’s Heart—Gentle and Lowly, Part 6 (book chapters 15 & 16)
A Father’s Heart—Gentle and Lowly, Part 6 (book chapters 15 & 16)
The New Testament isn't an alternative way to approach God, nor do we see a “different” or “nicer” God than in the Old as some imagine. Rather, the Old Testament flows right into the New. Jesus in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John is the perfect complement, the perfect fulfillment of the Old Testament. Beginning this Sunday and for the next few weeks, we will turn our attention to the heart of the Father as seen through the lens of the Old Testament, particularly this week in Lamentations 3:19-33.
Lamentations 3:33—literally the middle verse of the book—is the climax, the pinnacle of the entire book (Hebrew poets loved to do this kind of thing). What does it tell us about the Father’s heart?
Find out this Sunday.
See you then.

Children’s Formation Volunteers
We are in immediate need of men and women to serve Redeemer's children in our Children’s Formation Time on Sundays! No special skills are needed beyond a heart for children and the ability to serve one time per month. Those who serve are given the incredible opportunity to stand as witness of the Gospel to the children of Redeemer, and to learn new things about God both from the lessons we teach each week and the wonderful questions and responses these children offer.
It’s a fun and relationship strengthening opportunity for couples to serve together.
A simple background check and sexual abuse awareness training—both completed online—are required. For more information, please contact our Children’s Formation Director, Karissa Simmons (karissa@redeemerannapolis.org).
Discovery Dinner—Thursday, June 8
If you're newer to Redeemer, or if you’ve just got questions, we will host a Discovery Dinner at the Wishart home Thursday, June 8, 6:30-8:30 PM. Discovery Dinners are casual meals where we share Redeemer’s story, answer questions, and get better acquainted. Nothing to bring. Email Steve+ (steve@redeemerannapolis.org) if you'd like more information or would like to attend.
