Announcement of Ministries for 8/21
PREPARING FOR THE LORD’S DAY | As you anticipate our worship gathering on the Lord’s Day, consider praying for our service, reading the Text for the sermon, and preparing your heart and mind for worship with the Body of Christ. On Sunday, we’ll sing His Mercy is More, Hallelujah What a Savior, Great is Thy Faithfulness, and All I Have is Christ. Pastor Bryan will preach Psalm 23:5 and we’ll take the Lord’s Supper together.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT FELLOWSHIP GROUP (AIG) | The AIG Wednesday Fellowship Group will resume meeting September 7th at 6:30 P.M. at the church building. This group is led by Pastor Mike and uses a study from Answers in Genesis: Answers Bible Curriculum. Answers Bible Curriculum is a series of studies through the entire Bible. The lesson plan for this series will focus on David and Solomon's kingdoms. Please let Pastor Mike know if you plan to attend so that adequate materials can be ready. Also, you can find more information on the Wednesday Night Fellowship (AIG) Realm group.
SECURITY TEAM | Interested in joining the Redeeming Life Security Team? Members of this team serve as parking lot greeters, watch cameras, and welcome those showing up a little late. There are some other tasks that may come up from time to time. If you’re interested, please let Pastor Bryan know.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT FELLOWSHIP GROUP (20 THINGS) | Pastor Bryan is leading a 20-week Fellowship Group exploring systematic theology. Each participant will need a copy of Christian Beliefs: Twenty Basics Every Christian Should Know by Wayne Grudem (https://amzn.to/3dx1CAG) and a Bible. Most of Christian Beliefs chapters run between 3 and 7 pages. Participants will be expected to have read the chapter before the session. This Fellowship Group will meet at the church building at 6:30 PM on Wednesday nights and there will be a corresponding Zoom meeting on-line for those who can’t participate in person. It begins on September 7th. We’ll pause after November 16th for the holiday season and finish the last 9 weeks starting on February 8th. Talk with Pastor Bryan if you have questions and join the Wednesday Night Fellowship (20 Things) group on Realm.
SERMON PODCAST & LIVE STREAM | In the event that you miss a Sunday sermon because you are serving, sick, or otherwise unable to be with us for the service all-together, you can always find the live-stream, full service videos, sermon videos, and audio recordings on our website at www.RedeemingLifeUtah.org. We also live-stream on YouTube at 11 AM
QUESTIONS ABOUT FOLLOWING JESUS? | If you have questions about what it means to be a follower of Jesus Christ, we would like to help. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to our Pastors and ministry staff, a Fellowship Group leader, a Worship Team leader, or other Redeeming Life member to discuss what it means to be a Christian. We’d love to try to answer any questions you might have and pray with you.
YOUVERSION BIBLE APP | Do you use the YouVersion Bible App? Did you know Redeeming Life provides and Event with Scriptures and other information so you can follow along with the sermon? You can even save it during our service time and come back to it later. Find our Event in the YouVersion Bible App.
CSB BIBLE TRANSLATION | While we love many Bible translations at Redeeming Life Church, officially, we preach out of the Christian Standard Bible (CSV) most of the time. It’s not that we think this translation is perfect or the best, but that we settled on a specific translation, so you could bring a Bible and follow along if that’s your preference. We also like both the CSB Study Bible and the ESV Study Bible, although we don’t argue that either are perfect.
ACTS 11 FUND | In Acts 11, the church in Antioch took up an offering to help the brothers and sisters in the church in Jerusalem. A famine hit the community and they were struggling. We use our “Acts 11 Fund” to help brothers and sisters in need. Right now, our fund is low. If you would like to donate to the Acts 11 Fund, log into your Realm account and select the giving tab. Select the Acts 11 Fund in the dropdown options. If you’re not a Realm user, you may visit https://onrealm.org/rlc/give/now. You may also give my check or cash in a marked envelope. Be sure to indicate “Acts 11” on the memo line. We appreciate your faithful giving.
JOIN THE MUSIC TEAM | The musicians and AV techs leading us in musical worship are a great group, but they’re praying for a few more talented people. If God is calling you to lead our faith-family to worship the Lord through music or AV work, please contact Robbie.
WHO ARE WE? | We are a church that hopes to see our community redeemed by the power of the gospel. Redeeming Life Church exists to know, live, and proclaim the gospel. We believe the God’s Word from Genesis 1:1 to Revelation 22:21 is the inerrant story of the redemptive history of God—otherwise known as the gospel. To be people who are immersed in knowing, living, and proclaiming the gospel, we follow the instructions of Christ to love God, love people, and make disciples.
