May –July 2017
From Sally Rosser, Council President
Redeemer is enjoying an incredible year! We have a new Senior Pastor, Mark Larson, coming to join
our excellent staff on June 12, our “5 for the 500th Engagement Challenge” program is involving
hundreds of us in serving, learning and deepening our faith, our facilities are being restored, our
participation has increased, registration for summer programs has begun; and the ministry calendar is
overflowing with opportunities to Come Share Life! Redeemer is truly blessed!
I recall fondly one of the first services I attended at Redeemer nearly 40 years ago. Pastor Lee’s sermon
remarks included, “The Church of the Redeemer has the mind, the incredibly gifted lay leadership, the
sense of destiny, the resources, and the eternal gift of the Holy Spirit working in it, to lead it, in the
decades ahead, to ever and ever greater service and praise of God through faith in Jesus Christ.” So
much of what makes Redeemer who we are today is as a result of this history of faithful engagement.
We are blessed by the vision of those who led the charge in discovering new ways to touch lives,
bringing a message of hope and grace through our service!
I hope that your selection of engagement opportunities has led to as many new relationships and
wonderful experiences as mine. I have met members I didn’t know, learned a lot about Redeemer I
didn’t know and believe my faith is strengthened from my adventures into new areas with new people.
I have been personally inspired by the attention and kindness of our congregation as we serve together
on the “5 for the 500th Engagement Challenge”.
As we begin the second quarter of 2017, we will focus on relationships. We will begin inviting each of
you to meet your Redeemer family and assist you in finding those with whom you share common
interests and lifestyle. In the process, we will all get to know our new pastor Pastor Mark and his wife
Cindy... and they will get to know us.
On Sunday, June 4 we will express our thanks Pastor Dave and Karen at a reception in Sims Atrium
following the services that day. Pastor Dave’s kind and gentle leadership and great sense of humor has
made our time of transition smoother and less anxious. We are grateful for his work with our staff and
clergy as well as the Senior Pastor Call Committee. We will miss them both! Perhaps they will decide to
become part of the Redeemer family.
Pastor Mark Larson and his wife Cindy will arrive on June 12! Thanks be to God! Pastor Mark will
preach for the first time at Redeemer on June 18th. Don’t miss this celebration of a new chapter in the
life of our congregation as we welcome Pastor Mark and Cindy to our family.

M a y 7 | L u t h e r a n To w e r s S u n d a y Art Show by Tower Residents in Sims Atrium
Lutheran Towers was established by Redeemer forty- five years ago as an affordable haven for the elderly in Midtown. The goal of Lutheran Towers isn’t just to be a safe place for people to live out their years in affordability. It’s a place for people to “thrive”. The towers mission is a deep rooted, person centered, culture that fosters, dignity, enrichment, and well-being. While HUD supplies the heat and power, it’s up to us to make it a “home”. Your support and contributions allow simple things, like yoga classes, visits to cultural events, jazzercise, coffee socials, bingo, prayer circles, shopping trips, crafts, and ice cream socials to take place. These are just some of the activities that makes the towers a home to its’ over 200 residents. Other services promote physical well-being, like health services, medication management, dental care and transportation. Lutheran Towers was a vision of Dr. Robert E. Lee, Senior Pastor of the Lutheran Church of the Redeemer. Through a partnership with the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the 15-story tower has served as a home for over 3000 residents since its construction in 1972. It remains the only faith-based residential facility of its kind in Midtown Atlanta. Get involved with Lutheran Towers. Can you drive a van, teach basic computer skills, or other activities to seniors? Why not volunteer a just a little of your time or consider a much needed donation. Help us celebrate this vital outreach ministry as we honor residents, staff, volunteers and donors.
Proverbs 24: 3-4 By wisdom a house is built, and by understanding it is established; by knowledge the rooms are filled with all precious and pleasant riches.

Eat more berries. Strawberries, blueberries, blackberries all are good for you .
Enjoy water. Drink lots of water, swim, canoe, kayak, run in the rain.
Remember your baptism as you enjoy the water.
Wear sunglasses and sunscreen as you rejoice in the light!
Attend Worship regularly. Worship the Son, not the sun.
Relax and read. There are great books in the Redeemer library.
Read something you have been putting off,
maybe a book in the Bible.
Rest, vacation, take time away, to restore yourself and your
relationship with God and others.
Have a great summer, Karen Medford
Faith Community Nurse
“This same Good News that came to you is going out all over the world. It is bearing fruit everywhere by changing lives, just as it changed your lives from the day you first heard and understood the truth about God’s wonderful grace.” From Paul’s letter to the Colossians 1:6
You Can Change Someone’s Life With Eight Words As we begin our second quarter of our “5 for 500th Engagement Challenge” our emphasis turns to engagement through relationships. Engagement begins with invitation, to us, or by us. Most of us are blessed by a circle of family, friends and colleagues. This circle can remain small and limiting or it can continue to expand as we invite others to share our lives, our interests, and our hearts! We find it easy to extend invitations for dinner, a sports event, a play date, etc. We are eager to share our best experiences, we share the excitement of our favorite places and we welcome new friends into our homes. As we engage others and become engaged we begin to appreciate the value of the larger circle and the importance of community.
Please consider how this applies to your faith life... Sometimes it can be intimidating to talk about our faith or invite someone to join us. Sometimes it can be awkward. Sometimes we feel we are intruding. Sometimes people say no, before they say yes. But that short moment of discomfort in extending an invite is so worth it when we see that invitation may change someone’s life. Perhaps God is using you for that purpose. Perhaps the Holy Spirit is leading you to just the right person.
All it takes is 8 words, Would you join me at Redeemer this week? Joining you at Redeemer means engaging in worship, learning, service and fellowship! There will surely be opportunities that will be a “fit” for those you wish to invite. Pray for specific people in your life who need to know that God loves them, and ask God to give you an opportunity to invite them. Pray that when God gives you the opportunity to invite someone to Redeemer, that you would have the courage to extend that invitation. That is how engagement begins!

S a t u r d a y, A u g u s t 5 In 2013, Redeemer led the way in the Southeastern Synod and raised $358,000 toward the building of the retreat center facility and named a wing in memory of our beloved former pastor, The Reverend Dr. Carl F.W. Ficken. Construction is now underway! Plan now to join the Ficken family as we gather to celebrate this historic event! For questions, contact Charles Bridgers
at [email protected] or Amy Carpenter at [email protected]
S t e p h e n M i n i s t r y Crisis: An emotionally charged time of instability during which a crucial change occurs The Chinese word for "crisis" is a combination of two characters: one for
"danger" (危 - wei) and the other for
"opportunity" (機 -ji). This helps drive
home the idea that every crisis, though it may involve impending danger, also
offers opportunities for personal or spiritual growth. Stephen Ministers are trained to walk with you through the dangers of your crisis and to help you find the opportunities God has in store for you. For more information about Stephen Ministry, please contact Pr. Mary Peters at 404.874.8664 or [email protected]
