REDEEMER WEBSITE - IS THERE A
BUDDING WEBMASTER IN OUR MIDST?
With Rev. Carol's departure we will also be
bidding farewell to Jay Luther - our Webmaster
Extraordinaire
.
Jay took us by leaps and bounds as
he formed and maintained our remarkable
website.
In this day and time it is vital to our ministry and
the preferred way for many to learn about
Redeemer and view our events calendar.
Please contact me, Sue Clark, at 454-4115 or
sueclarkca@aol.com if you have interest or
experience in this area.

A Meditation for Today
"Our steps are made firm by the LORD, when he
delights in our way; though we stumble,
we shall
not fall headlong, for the LORD holds us by the
hand."
~Psalm 37:23-24
We are climbing up the ladder of life, which
reaches into eternity. God would not plant our
feet upon an insecure ladder. Its supports may be
out of sight, hidden in secret places, but if God has
asked us to step on and up firmly, then surely he
has secured our ladder. Faith gives us the strength
to climb steadily up this ladder of life. We can
leave our security to God and trust him not to let
us fall. God is there to give us all the power we
need to keep on climbing.
A Prayer for Today
I pray that I may climb the ladder of life without
fear. I pray that I may progress steadily through
the rest of my life with faith and confidence.
