Redeemer Lutheran and St. Theodore
On Sunday, May 5, the congregations of Redeemer Lutheran Church and St. Theodore of Canterbury Episcopal Church will celebrate the sixth Sunday of Easter with Rev. Scott Fielder presiding. The worship service gathers at 13564 St. Andrews Drive in Leisure World at 10:30 a.m. All are welcome. Carol Costello will be the lesson reader and prayer leader. Fellowship with coffee, tea and snacks will be held afterward the service in the Fellowship Hall.
The congregations continue to collect donations of canned and boxed food for the hungry.
The Bible study will be on hold until Wednesday, May 15. The group meets at noon in the Fellowship Hall every Wednesday. The study is currently looking at 10 of Jesus’ miracles. People should bring a Bible, a friend and a lunch.
In the Gospel lesson on Sunday, the congregations will look at words people commonly use in a different way. The word commandment now means love. Jesus states that if believers love him, they will show this love by following his commandments. Jesus’ main commandment is for people to love one another. This is also the core of the Ten Commandments, the eight Beatitudes, and the Greatest Commandment. It is what it means to be Christian.
