A Message From
Pastor Jen
“Let the word of Christ live in you richly, flooding you with all wisdom. Apply the Scriptures as you teach and instruct one another…”
Colossians 3:16a (The Passion Translation)
Have you been hungry for something more in life? Have you ever been to church and not feel like you’ve been fed? I’ve heard these comments from people who were hungry, some starving, and what for? For God’s Word. It’s in God’s Word that we are transformed, renewed in our perspectives, our decisions, and our daily living. We are encouraged, comforted, challenged, convicted – changed for the good! You cannot read the Bible and not come out of it a different person! So, if you’re hungry for something more from life and from church, have we got the feast for you!
September begins a new season of feasting on God’s Word at Redeemer! Sunday School begins September 12 with a breakfast beginning at 9:15am then some of the classes will break out into their new groups, while others will create a handmade gift for our homebound members to let them know they are loved. Then September 19th, ALL AGES begin opening up the scriptures in order to apply it to their lives! And don’t forget to BYOB – Bring Your Own Bible!
Adults will be studying Ephesians “the old-fashioned way” by opening up the book in the Bible and reading through it and talking about it together verse by verse. The adults will be led by Pastor Jennifer & Jamie Wells. 8th through 12th graders will be going through the Alpha Course together. It’s a relevant video series that engages youth in conversations about faith, life, and Jesus. There are some new ideas coming for our Confirmation age youth (7th & 8th graders) as the 7th graders will continue to be taught the Bible by Jim and Gerry Rackley, and the 8th graders will be taught the tenants of our faith grounded in the Bible by Pastor Jennifer. But also with 7th and 8th graders combined, we will do regular fellowship and servant events to follow in our Lord’s command to serve others as Jesus has served us. Finally, our children will be learning the Bible stories that are appropriate for their age, which will ground them in the stories of faith that have changed people’s lives across all generations!
So look ahead in this newsletter and find the Bible study class that is right for you! More will be available in the future – this is just to get us started! Grab your Bible, bring it to Sunday School and church, and invite your friends who are hungry too! I look forward to seeing you in worship and in Sunday School!
Pastor Jennifer

After adjournment amendment to the July 21, 2021, Council Meeting Minutes –
On August 19, 2021, an email was sent by a fellow council member to all council members and Rev. Gold stating, it occurred to me this morning that the minutes from the July 2021 meeting did not include one item that should've been included. Therefore, a move to amend the minutes to include the following "Council members who were present engaged in a general discussion involving Redeemer's denominational affiliation. No action was taken." Amendment was seconded and carried by majority vote of those council members who were present at the July 21, 2021, council meeting.

Attention Confirmation Youth and Parents!
We will have a meeting Sunday, September 12 after worship. We will meet in the Adult Sunday School room – back Social Hall. This informational meeting will be held by Jim and Gerry Rackley (7th grade Confirmation and Sunday School teachers) and Pastor Jennifer (8thgrade Confirmation teacher). The 7thgraders will have a year of learning the Bible with the Rackley’s while the 8thgraders will learn the tenants of our Christian faith. At this meeting, we will talk about some new ideas we have for this coming year of Confirmation and set dates and times for the 8th graders to meet for instruction with Pastor Jennifer so bring your calendars!
Beginning the following Sunday morning, September 19, the 7th graders will have class with the Rackley’s in Confirmation I classroom and the 8thgraders will join the Senior High for the Youth Alpha Series.
“Parents, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.” Ephesians 6:4
† † † † †
ADULT BIBLE STUDY ON EPHESIANS
God’s message to us through Ephesians reminds us of the blessings we have been given by Jesus Christ, how to live out our unity in Christ with one another, and how to live out our new life in Christ with our families and our church family! The study and conversation should be good and even better if YOU are there to add to the discussion!
This class is led by Pastor Jennifer and Jamie Wells, begins Sunday, September 19 from 9:15am-10:15am in the back Social Hall & continues every Sunday morning.
Don’t forget…BYOB – Bring Your Own Bible plus highlighters, pens and pencils, and a journal if you like!

A Message From Rev Bauer…
“Trying To Leave A Little
Bit Of Heaven Behind“
My time with you as Interim Pastor is coming to an end. By the time you read this, Rev. Jennifer Gold will be starting with you as your new settled pastor. I will forever remember your kindness and support for me as your Interim Pastor. This past year has been a unique time. We have had to deal with a myriad of challenges due to the Covid-19 Pandemic. We have not lived through an ordinary time. Yet God has been with us, leading us in our shared ministry together.
We were able to establish live and recorded worship which will now continue to be a regular offering. The Youth put together three thought provoking and enlightening Youth Press Conferences with the Interim Pastor. We secured play ground equipment for the enjoyment of the children in the congregation and the community. We had great success with the Harvest Festival Auction, moving and meaningful Confirmation, Christmas Eve and Easter services.
Throughout it all our attendance has been impressive.
You all have worked hard to be faithful to the Gospel and to the Kingdom Of God.
As you start this new settled pastorate, know that my prayers will be with Rev. Gold and with all of you. Redeemer has been a great Christian witness here in the Zuehl community for over 120 years. You have great potential, commitment, love and concern to have great years of ministry ahead. Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote: “To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived — that is to have succeeded.”
I hope that our shared collaborative ministry has left a little bit of heaven behind for our congregation, our community and for all of us.
See you in Church
Grateful?
Hopeful?
May it be so.
Rev. Peter E. Bauer

A Message From
Pastor Jen
Let the Adventure Begin!
If I were giving a title to the next chapter in Redeemer’s history, I believe it would be “Let the Adventure Begin!” There is so much to explore together and learn together, and I believe in doing so, grow together in our relationship with Jesus Christ and in our relationship with one another! Are you ready for the journey? I know my family and I are, and we hope you are too!
When God told Abram to go to a new place so that his family could be a blessing to all the people there, he didn’t tell Abram where he was going in advance, God only told him to Go “to the land that I will show you”(Gen. 12). When Abram and his family set out on that journey, they didn’t know where the Lord was leading them. But they did know one thing for sure, that the Lord was with them every step of the way.
We have a new chapter, a new journey ahead of us. We may not know where it leads, but we are given the promise from scripture that it is the Lord who is leading us! I love journeys because it’s in the journey that we grow the most, experience the most, and are changed for God’s good by the experience! One of my favorite authors, Mark Batterson, says, “A change of pace plus a change of place equals a change of perspective.” I am a different person because I have a different perspective after every journey I take because each one is very different, and so will be the same for all of us at Redeemer. However, there is One in my life who remains the same-my constant companion, Jesus, and He teaches me many new things every time!
Y’all, Jesus is our constant companion in the journey that lies ahead. I can’t wait to experience life with Him with YOU! There is so much to look forward to as we worship together, hear from God’s Word as He speaks to us, be in fellowship with one another, do Bible study together, and with every new opportunity, seek God’s will and direction. Soon it will be time to cast a vision for Redeemer – where do we want to go? What do we want to do to serve God and grow in our relationship with Jesus and with the community of Marion? How can we get to where we’re going with the Lord leading us? There are so many possibilities ahead of us!
Thank you for allowing me to take this journey with you! I don’t take lightly the call from God to come to Redeemer to serve Him by serving you. I’m looking forward to getting to know each and every one of you by name, but most importantly, by your stories. We will walk this new journey together with Jesus as our companion and our guide, and I can’t wait to see where our Lord is going to lead us together!
From God’s heart and mine,
Pastor Jennifer
P.S. People have asked how to refer to me, and I prefer Pastor Jennifer or Pastor Jen. Pastor means “shepherd” and that is the role the Lord has given me with you.
