Walking Together
The Journey, a six-week process that takes place every year during Lent, is open to individuals of all backgrounds, interests and spiritual journeys. Whether you are exploring your faith, getting to know our congregation better or joining Our Redeemer’s as an official member, The Journey is a meaningful way to grow in spirit and in community.
During The Journey you can ask questions, connect with others, learn about the Lutheran faith and experience what life at Our Redeemer’s is all about. We’re heavy on hors d’oeuvres, honesty, small-group Bible study and an authentic, unforced sense of community. There is never any pressure join our congregation or to be baptized. If you are interested in taking those steps, however, The Journey is the way to get started.
To learn more about The Journey, contact Pastor Thomas any time.
Confirmation is a time for 7th and 8th grade youth to explore faith by learning about God, caring for the world and getting to know each other and themselves. Middle schoolers meet during the fall and spring for workshops, service projects, social events and visits to other faith communities. Our week at Camp Lutherhaven is the highlight of the year!
Two years in confirmation prepare participants to decide whether they will publicly affirm their faith and commit to following Jesus’s way. They might not wish to or be ready to, and that’s okay. We believe it is better to make an honest personal decision than simply go through the motions.
For those who decide to be confirmed, we hold a special service and banquet where our whole community celebrates these unique and wonderful young people.
