Redeemer Lutheran
As sunny Southern California days lengthen into warmer spring days, Redeemer Lutheran Church will begin a season of Lent. The word is taken from the Old English word LENCTEN meaning “lengthening days of spring.” There is more light in the day, by which people can draw closer to God for the next six weeks as the holiest of days, Easter, approaches in mid-April.
“Drawing closer to God by...!” is the theme for Redeemer Lutheran’s Sunday worship service on March 6. LWers are invited to join the community and share the word and Communion at 10:30 a.m. in the sanctuary at 13564 St. Andrews Drive, across the street from the LW Administration building, with ample parking.
Dee Sessa and Teresa Smith are this week’s greeters. Sharon Heck will play the organ and accompany the trio of Beverly Anderson, Pastor Lynda Elmer and Kay Pushman.
Redeemer Lutheran successfully gathered multiple cans of soup for its “SOUPerBowl Sunday” drive last month, and it’s collecting green cans of food such as vegetables, to celebrate the bright green blades of spring. Cans of non-perishable food will be taken to Lutheran Social Services and distributed to those most in need. For more information about Redeemer Lutheran’s services or the work of the church, call (562) 598-8697.
