The Needy and the Needed
The Needy and the Needed
Although these two potential labels—those who are “needy” and those who are “needed”—in a church community seem at first dichotomous , they’re not. They’re complimentary. More than that, in fact. In Romans 12:1-8—this week’s Epistle reading—St. Paul makes the emphatic argument that the only ones who are truly needed in a church community are the truly needy.
I look forward to exploring this with you Sunday.

Children’s Formation Volunteers
We are in immediate need of men and women to serve in Redeemer's children in our Nursery and 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 can be 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)
