HELP US TO SPREAD OUR

LOVE AND FAITH

"And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength. This is the first commandment. And the second, like it, is this: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. There is no commandment greater than these."

Mark 12:30-31

Worship Services at Redeemer Lutheran Church

Resuming Sunday February 21 at 10:00 a.m.

After the recent Provincial lockdown, Lambton Public Health have announced we will be transitioning from the current provincial shutdown and stay-at-home orders to the COVID-19 Response Framework on February 16, 2021. We will be moving to the Restrict (Orange) Level which reflects intermediate measures we will follow at Redeemer.

Once again, we will be re-opening our doors in caution to make sure every possible effort has been taken to reduce the potential transmission of the virus.

As we open our doors again to worship, here is a reminder of some of the controls we will continue to follow for everyone’s personal safety and peace of mind:

• Our sanctuary will be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected before we resume worship services

• Our common areas and washroom will be cleaned after each worship service

• We will still refrain from singing hymns or responsives at this time

• A Greeter will be stationed at the side door between 9:30 and 10:00 to admit parishioners

• Greeters will register and pre-screen parishioners’ health conditions as they arrive, now including individual temperature scanning

  • Facemasks are still mandatory (in accordance to our Municipal Bylaw)

  • Hand sanitizing stations are available and parishioners will be expected to sanitize as they arrive

• Ushers will wear gloves and masks as they hand out Service Bulletins

• Ushers will continue escorting and seating parishioners to better control physical distancing 

• Collection plates will not be passed – they are at the sanctuary doors for you to place your tithe in as you exit.

• Parishioners are reminded to please refrain from direct, personal contact with others, especially as they exit from service and leave the church

Finally, for those who do not feel comfortable attending church at this time we will begin offering a shorter ‘abridged’ service message on our website:  https://www.redeemerlutheran-sarnia.ca/sermons.

DONATE NOW

Please remember that your continued financial support is important so that we may keep our Church going during this pandemic. We realize that some of you may be facing financial hardship in the coming months, but if you can afford to continue giving, there’s a number of ways you can do so:

• You can sign up for the automatic giving program - please contact the Church office for details

• You can donate using Interac e-transfers.

• You can drop off your offering envelopes at the church, through our secure mail slot.

• You can mail your offerings to the church.

During this time of uncertainty, our greatest comfort is found in God’s Word. Even though we can’t ‘stay connected’ through our onsite Sunday Worship Services at Redeemer, we are working to find new ways so that we can draw closer to Him during these times. Please continue to support us with your time, talents and treasures as you are able.
