Missions Team Update

loretta — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 18:01:43 +0000

This past December, Redeemer Montclair made a year-end gift to World Vision to demonstrate God’s love by helping to meet practical needs of those living in poverty throughout the world. The Children’s Ministry classes and the Youth Group were invited to participate in this project to decide how the gift should be distributed. The youth of the church decided to give the following gifts: a year of school for three orphans, a sheep, six chickens, a goat, and medicine. A special thanks to all the children/youth for partnering with the Missions Team on this project.

Children’s Ministry Director Transition

loretta — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 15:33:06 +0000

Andy and Katie Culp have decided to step down from the role of directing the Children’s Ministry in anticipation of welcoming their third child into their home soon. We thank the Culps for the dedication and care they have shown over this past year in this role. Devin Almonte will serve as the new Children’s Ministry Director. Devin has extensive experience with children, familiarity with the Redeemer Kids program as the Nursery Supervisor, and a track record of leadership and management experience. The Culps will be working with Devin over the next several weeks to ensure that the transition is seamless. Please welcome Devin to this role.

Return your filled bottle of coins to the church foyer over the next several weeks. Please remember to pray for First Choice Women’s Resource Center.

Handyman Team

The Deacons are seeking volunteers for a “handyman” team (including women: “handyperson” is awkward) to be available to perform maintenance and repairs jobs on the church property on an as-needed basis. Please see Brad Burns and Ming Chang, or email them at deacons@redeemermontclair.com, if you are interested in serving the church in this way.
