2017 Winter and Spring Activities

The women at Redeemer have been busy in 2017!  We started off our new year with our Annual Tea in February, followed by our Annual Spring Renewal weekend in April, and then crafting events with our covenant children in May and June for Mother and Father's Day!  Along with these "special activities,"  we also enjoyed a time of study and fellowship during our Friday morning weekly Winter/Spring Bible study on the book of James.  WHEW!  God has richly blessed our church with many talented women that generously share their time to attend and help make all these events possible as we serve our church family and strengthen our relationships with one another. 

Here's a few photos from each of the events that gives you a small sampling of the good times that were shared!  If you missed any of these events in 2017, we hope you will be able to join us next time! 

Special thanks to Kristin Kolb and Kristine Sung who teamed up to host the event!

All the ladies were treated to wonderful food, sweet fellowship and of course, the chance to wear our fancy hats!

One of the special treats is seeing our young girls all dressed up for this fun event.

It's become a tradition to have Karen Robinson read a story to her "captive audience."

Beautiful Ladies All Around!

Did you know the pineapple is the symbol of hospitality?  Thanks to the talents of Scherry Schafer and Tina Bangma, our event was filled with beautiful pineapple centerpieces, plates, and party favors!

This year's theme was "Christian Hospitality."  Anna Andreyev shared an excellent presentation and challenged all Redeemer women to think about how we can increase our practice in this critical area of our Christian calling.

We were treated to a wonderful catered lunch with lots of good food, including pineapple dishes to complement our decorating theme.

Songs of praise are always an important part of our renewal events.  Everyone enjoyed lifting our voices in praise to our God with Marisela Linebarger leading us on guitar.

MOTHER'S DAY CRAFTING 2017

Siblings and friends all come together for this fun time of making a special gift to celebrate our Moms!

We had a record number of crafters this year....total of 32 covenant children that participated in this event!  Thanks to all the wonderful adult volunteers that make it possible for us to host this fun time for our covenant kids!

FATHER'S DAY CRAFTING 2017

The card we made for our Dad's to show them how much they are loved!

All the kids and adult volunteers shared a pizza lunch, followed by a fun time for the kids making  trophy gifts for the special men in their lives.

Complete with gift bags, these kids did an amazing job creating a gift to share with their Dads!
