Check out the work we did for the “Happy Birthday, Jesus!” celebration on December 21, in the video below!

The Community Engagement team, which encompasses Outreach and Stewardship at Redeemer Lutheran Church, is dedicated to building connections both within our congregation and throughout the wider community. The team oversees internal and external outreach projects and the Stewardship Team, which nurtures the time, talents, and treasures of our members.

We are currently seeking new team members to join the Community Engagement team. The Community Engagement team meets on the 2nd Tuesday of each month at 6:30PM, and new members are welcome at any time. We are also seeking team members specifically for our Stewardship and New Member teams that report to Community Engagement.

For more information, please email Melissa Whitman.

Up and Coming Community Engagement Opportunities!

Are you looking for a meaningful way to serve our community? Solid Ground is currently seeking volunteers to support children and families through two life-giving programs. No special qualifications are needed—just a heart for making a difference.

Tutor Volunteers Needed

Solid Ground is in need of volunteer tutors to provide encouragement and academic support for children.

Schedule:

  • Mondays & Wednesdays

  • 4:30–5:30 PM

You do not need to be an expert in any subject. Volunteers simply need to show up consistently, offer help, and build confidence in the life of a child.

Little SPARKS volunteers needed:

Solid Ground is also seeking volunteers for the Little SPARKS program, which offers fun and engaging activities for children living in Solid Ground’s housing. This program helps strengthen children’s development while also offering parents a break.

Schedule:

  • Fridays

  • 3:15–5:30 PM

Activities may include:

  • Arts & crafts

  • Games

  • Reading

  • Dancing/movement

  • Free play

In November and December you helped us collect over 60 layette sets for newborn babies in the greater Twin Cities for Second Stork. On March 9, we will be going to Second Stork from 11:30am-12:45 to assemble the layettes. Please email Melissa Whitman if you plan on attending the event. This event is for people of all ages and spaces are limited. Second Stork is located at 130 Eva St. St. Paul.

Melissa will be arranging rides for youth that would like to attend, but whose parents cannot drive them there. Please let her know if you can be a driver for this event.
