Redeemer Celebrates Christmas Like Family

At Redeemer’s annual Christmas party, the church gathers as one big family with plenty of delicious eats, adorable kids, and rockin’ entertainment by musicians of all ages and stages of accomplishment. Whether you’ve been to our last 14 Christmas parties or you’re new to the Redeemer family, we want you to join us for this year’s celebration Sunday, December 15 at 6 pm in the Fellowship Hall.

Our Fellowship Hall transforms into a festive party spot. Bring finger foods to share, and come celebrate Christmas with your church family. Then pull up a chair and get ready to clap your hands for the entertainment portion of the party. Anyone is welcome to share their musical or other stage talent–even bagpipers! Contact Will Hunter to be included in the evening’s program.

Many Volunteers Make Christmas Decorating Fun

Whether it was the lure of delicious chili and cornbread or the bare Christmas tree still wrapped up this past Sunday, lots of volunteers came Wednesday night to help decorate the sanctuary. Eager volunteers filled their bellies before heading over to hang garlands and bows, string white lights, and decorate the tree with newly made chrismons.

Lots of kids came to lend a hand–and add to the joyful chaos of Christmas decorating.

After the men got the tree situated in the stand, the tree started to look like a Christmas tree.

Worship with us on Sunday to see the finished tree!

Christmas-Tree Decorating at Redeemer TONIGHT

Redeemer’s Christmas tree was lassoed in the field, bound up, and sawed down.

We hauled it to Charleston, and now it needs adornment! Tonight is the night to decorate the tree with our newly crafted chrismons and hang the garlands and bows around the balcony. Bring your little ones to help decorate!

Join us at 6 pm in the Fellowship Hall for a chili potluck supper and fellowship. Bring chili, cornbread, or a dessert to share, as we celebrate Advent together. After we’ve enjoyed chili and fixin’s, we’ll head to the sanctuary where we’ll need many hands to help transform the sanctuary with Christmas decorations.

Chrismon-Making Event Draws Kids and Crafters

Families and crafters gathered at Redeemer this past Saturday, November 23 to make the meaningful, symbolic ornaments called chrismons that will decorate our Christmas tree. After using borrowed chrismons for the past six years, we decided it was high time to make our own ornaments. But who knows how to make chrismons?

Enter some dear women from Advent Lutheran who were friendly and knowledgeable about all things chrismon. These dear women were instrumental in helping our church purchase our buildings, and they knew we’d need help creating our own chrismon collection. Not only did they share their knowledge of symbolic ornaments, but they also brought a bunch of their extra chrismons to help fill out our tree.

This kid-friendly event attracted lots of little hands wanting to dig in to the glue, glitter, and sequins.

A special thanks to Addo, Redeemer’s ministry to the arts community, for organizing this event!
