Food Drive
More than 120,000 Marion County residents have lost Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits since November 1 due to the federal government shutdown. Redeemer is calling our congregation to get involved and care for the many neighbors, families, children, and seniors who are experiencing food insecurity and need help meeting their nutritional needs.
Ways to Help
Donate Food
Bring in non-perishable food items to Redeemer between November 16 and November 30. Donated food items will be distributed to Shepherd Community Center and a food pantry in Haughville.
Make a Financial Gift
United Way of Central Indiana has launched a $1 million Food Relief Fund, which supports three major organizations: Gleaners Food Bank of Indiana, Midwest Food Bank of Indiana, and Second Helpings. Every $1 donated creates six meals.
Get Involved
Volunteer at one of our partner ministries – Shepherd Community Center and Family Hope. Walk alongside people who are in need of help and support them. Figure out how volunteering at Shepherd could work into your life, or how you could be a part of a group of friends/Redeemerites that supports one family in crisis through Family Hope. Let them know they are seen and loved. Put yourself in situations where you can get to know people who are hungry and in need of care.
Thanksgiving Basket Delivery with Shepherd Community
Help Shepherd Community Center share the joy of Thanksgiving by delivering totes of food to our neighbors on Saturday, November 22 from 11 am–1 pm. Volunteers will load up vehicles and deliver baskets to specific homes in the community. It’s a meaningful way to bless families directly during the holiday season.
Phroneō | Album Release Concert
Redeemer family, the album is finished and should be released for streaming very soon. We are excited to share the songs from this recording project that so many of you have prayerfully supported and encouraged us in.
Our release show will be Saturday, November 22nd at 7:00 pm. To add to the fun and celebration, Josie Aalsma will be there too, playing some of the new songs she has been working on this past year.
The show is free and you are welcome to invite whomever you like.
Any other questions? Reach out to Nathan.

Day of Prayer
The end of the year is often used for two things: reflection (like your Spotify Wrapped) or fellowship (like your ugly Christmas sweater party). Let’s come together to kick off the Advent season and prepare for the New Year with a time of prayer and fellowship. With more details to come, we are hoping to “’Tis the season” through a day dedicated to praying for our city, our church, and the arrival of our Savior.
Schedule:
8:15-8:45 am—Morning Prayer (no childcare)
5:15-6:00 pm—Dinner
6:00-6:45 pm—Evening Prayer (with childcare)
We will provide childcare for children ages 0-Kindergarten. We are glad to extend this age or make additional accommodations on a case by case basis (e-mail Emily Pilkington.) Please sign up in advance so we know how many sitters to provide.
We hope you will plan to join us in this time of prayer, family worship, and even joint fasting to seek our Father's will and to welcome his work in new ways.
Embrace Grace Baby Shower
Embrace Grace is a support group for single women facing unplanned pregnancies that meets at Redeemer and is led by Reagan Spangle and Rayvey George. The ministry provides a 12-week program offering community, encouragement, and—most importantly—the gospel. The semester culminates with a baby shower on Saturday, December 6, from 10:00 am to 12:30 pm at Polk Stables.
Brunch will be provided, and this event is a beautiful opportunity to physically show the love of Christ to these women and their unborn babies. Children are always welcome to attend, but please note that childcare will not be available.
Gifts can be brought to the shower or purchased and sent to Reagan’s address; she will facilitate wrapping and delivery to the shower.
Please use the links below to access the registries.

Join us on January 30-31, 2026 for the annual Men's Retreat with Central Indiana Presbytery.

This weekend retreat will help you encounter and experience the unexpected and extraordinary grace found among the depths of a heart broken by sin as seen through king David in Psalm 32. It will show how men can walk in meaningful friendship with one another, encouraging each other to pursue the deepest joy imaginable found in the heart of God.
The retreat will take place at Hueston Woods Lodge and Conference Center in College Corner, Ohio. Cost is $268 per person for a single room, $179 per person for a double room, $145 per person for a four-person cabin. Registrants will room with other men from their church, but particular rooming preferences should be shared with your church's point person.

Advent Workshop
This year, our theme is God’s presence with us in the wilderness. In light of that, we are collecting old camping gear to use for our liturgical installation. Please consider donating if you have any spare:
Flannels (old flannel shirts, blankets), plaids, and patterned fabrics in gold, crimson, forest, or tan
Retro camping gear, fishing gear, life jackets, tent parts, and lanterns. All gear will be returned if the owners write their names on their loaned items.
Paddles and oars
We will have a sign-up sheet for all donations soon, but in the meantime please consider what items we might be able to use.
Sewing machines (and their owners) are also requested for the Advent Workshop!
Advent Workshop is an annual Redeemer tradition in which everyone—children to adults—is invited to join the creative process of making the liturgical art on display during Advent.
You don’t have to be crafty or an artist to participate, but you might want to wear clothes for making things (looking at you, kids).
As friends and family participate in various stations throughout the gym, we ask that children under 5 years old plan to make art alongside their adult.

Did you know our church partners with Young Life at Herron High School across the street to help bring the message of the gospel through relationships? Students meet several times a month in our building for fellowship, bible study, and club (pancake breakfast and gospel message). This ministry is having a huge impact for students and is growing. Over the summer, 28 students went to camp, and between 25-40 kids show up each week for club and campaigners (bible study). We are also hoping to expand with ministry to several middle schools in the coming months.
Our youth leaders Nicholas and Mary Paxton are on the ministry team led by Corey Blade. Some of you might recognize his name as he has also recently partnered with Hope Church of Haughville as a Pastoral Resident! Herron Young Life has been granted a matching gift fund of $10,000 if we can raise $2,000 in new monthly donors by the end of October. Would you consider giving and helping us reach this goal? If you have questions, please feel free to reach out to Jennie Rader, Herron YL Committee Chair.
Here is the link to give. (You can donate to Herron Young life by donating to their designated area, "Naptown")

Storied Lives is a group exclusively offered to women this year through New Hope Counseling. The groups explore stories from participants' pasts so that they can live more freely in their present. Storied Lives creates a safe and powerful space for people to share stories that carry grief/confusion/shame and invite others into them to seek the Holy Spirit, who brings comfort, healing, and growth.
Groups meet once in November and 16 times from January to May; they have 4-6 participants and are facilitated by trained leaders. The cost is $45/meeting, for a total of $765. Partial scholarships are available through New Hope. We do not want financial constraints to prevent anyone from participating.
Storied Lives is seeking women who are open, curious, and willing to reflect deeply on their own life experiences, bringing emotional stability, maturity, and a desire to understand both their strengths and weaknesses as part of their growth journey. With a readiness to engage alongside others in a safe, guided space, we will seek to embrace who God has already declared us to be more fully.
If you have any questions, please email Carrie Sinsabaugh.
