Spotlight Moments

On Sunday, April 10, 2011, Redeemer Covenant Church began a yearlong celebration of our Golden Anniversary with a special kickoff presentation highlighting the early beginnings of Redeemer. 

Throughout this next year, watch for glimpses back through Redeemer’s history in each week’s bulletin as well as in occasional media presentations and special pictorial displays. The year will culminate on a 50th Anniversary Celebration Sunday, April 15, 2012, with a banquet at the Northland Inn following special services that day. We thank and praise our God for his great love and faithfulness through these 50 years.

The city of Brooklyn Park was chosen as one of the six cities from across the nation to make a presentation during the Community Engagement Leadership Institute, January 9-14, in Los Angeles, California. This annual gathering is sponsored by W. K. Kellogg Foundation, which supports children, families, and communities. The city requested that Pastor Steve be part of the five-member team representing Brooklyn Park in Los Angeles and making a presentation during the week-long Leadership Institute.

The invitation for participation in this event is yet another sign of the significant role Redeemer Covenant Church has in serving our community. Read the full story on the website of the Northwest Conference of the Covenant Church. The Sun Newspaper online also covered this event.

"What's Taste of Africa?" you ask. If you came to church on Sunday, October 9, you were greeted with the aromas of dishes like fried plantains, fufu and soup, rice bread and donuts, and puff puff—a delicious "taste" from a variety of African countries.

But the day wasn't only about eating! Colorful costumes and lively music were shared in the Sunday morning service of praise and thanksgiving. Read all about it on the worldwide website of the Evangelical Covenant Church. Visit Redeemer's Facebook page which includes great photos that capture the fun of this day of celebration!

Thank you to over 30 volunteers who made 2011 another great summer of Camp. We started with over 100 children registered and a waiting list for ages 3-9, and ended with 120 kids registered from 67 families.

Our field was filled with kids on Tuesday and Thursday evenings who were participating in the summer soccer program! Redeemer teamed up with La Bendición to offer soccer camp for boys and girls in three age groups. The children met new friends from the neighborhood while building strong team skills. Most importantly, players were introduced to Jesus in this fun and active setting. 

The camp ran June 21 - August 11. The cost was only $10/child or $25/family and included one t-shirt per child. Kickin’ Kids Soccer Camp met on the Redeemer sports field: 

• Ages 3-5 from 5:30-6:00 pm
• Ages 6-9 from 6:00-7:00 pm
• Ages 10-15 from 7:00-8:00 pm

No special equipment was required, but children were encouraged to bring: a soccer ball, water bottle, shin guards, and soccer cleats.

For future seasons, we are seeking donations of new and gently used soccer equipment in child and youth sizes. If you have soccer shin guards, soccer cleats, soccer socks, or soccer balls you would be willing to donate, please contact Amy Long or Pastor Todd.
