Monumental
Monumental
Today’s email is arriving a little late. This is by design. I wanted to wait till it was reality to let you know that just about an hour or so ago, we became the new stewards of 1309 Bay Ridge Avenue, Annapolis. Redeemer has a permanent home, and by a stunning act of God’s provision (and not a small amount of sacrificial generosity!), we were able to purchase this property entirely unencumbered by a mortgage. This is monumental. Thanks be to God for these stunning answers to our prayers of over five years together!
Though there's still be a lot of hard work to be done over the next few months, we should take this moment simply to be thankful to God, and joyful in him. I find myself just a little bit overwhelmed with gratitude at the immensity of this goodness.
“Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we can ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.” Ephesians 3:20-21
Kind of makes you wonder what God might do next, doesn’t it?
In Christ,

5th Sunday Potluck Postponed
Because of the number of families traveling this weekend, we have postponed our 5th Sunday Potluck till the 1st Sunday of January. Next Sunday. January 7th.
Winter Relief
Winter Relief has operated as an all-volunteer seasonal shelter since 1992. Hosted at different Anne Arundel County churches each week from late October through April, the shelter is refuge for those experiencing homelessness during the coldest months of the year. Each church provides services, meals, and comfort to the guests during their designated week.
Redeemer will take responsibility for staffing one evening and overnight at Cape St. Claire UMC, Wednesday, January 10, 2024. We’re in need of volunteers to prepare and serve dinner or breakfast, prepare bagged lunches, host overnight, do 1-2 loads of laundry, and more. Interested in serving? Email Doug Gillikin (cdgcdg2@icloud.com) or see what’s available and sigh up here.
