Good afternoon Redmond AG,

Last Sunday we talked about how control keeps us stuck, but surrender can set us free. If you missed the message, you can get caught up here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MiSXNZaBQf0

This Sunday is a great week to invite someone to join you! We’re continuing our Stuck series and talking about how cravings can keep us stuck, but contentment can set us free.

Sunday Morning Prayer

Starting this Sunday, I want to invite anyone who would like to pray to join us in the auditorium from 9:00–9:30 during the worship team’s run-through. Come for all 30 minutes or just a few minutes as your schedule allows. Then at 9:30, we’ll gather together in the lobby for All-Team Prayer. I would love to see people filling the auditorium with prayer before we gather each Sunday!

Family Night — Friday, 5–7 PM

Family Night is this Friday in the gym! We’ll have the inflatables up, dinner will be provided, and it’s going to be a great night to hang out together as families. Bring your family and invite another family to come with you!

Discover Class

If you’re newer to Redmond AG or ready to take your next step, Discover Class is for you. Discover Class is the path to become a member, but membership is about more than being able to vote at our annual business meeting.

Membership is a step of commitment that says:

“This isn’t just a church I attend. This is my church, and I want to be part of what God is doing here.”

It’s moving from simply being a consumer to becoming a contributor. At Discover Class, you’ll hear more of my story, have an opportunity to share some of yours, learn about the mission and culture of Redmond AG, and discover how your gifts, talents, abilities and interests can help us accomplish our mission together.

If you need childcare, please let me know ASAP. You can reply to this email or text me at 541-990-8120.

Bedrock Youth Is Moving to Sunday Nights

Starting October 4, Bedrock Youth is moving from Wednesday nights to Sunday nights!

Also, the first week of every month will be a special night called Week 1. These nights will be designed as a great opportunity for students to invite and bring their friends.

Women’s Coffee Connect

Women’s Coffee Connect happens the first Saturday of every month at 9:30 AM in the Connect Space. This month, every woman who attends will receive a free Canyon Coffee card! Who could you invite? Maybe there’s someone in your life who wouldn’t normally come to church on a Sunday, but they would come grab a free coffee and meet some great people on a Saturday morning.

Kids Convention — October 9–10

We’re taking a group of kids to Salem for an overnight Kids Convention and Kid’s Arts! This is a powerful time of worship, kid-focused messages and connecting with kids from churches all across Oregon.

If you would like your child to go, reach out to our Kids Director, Karen Sherman, at karens@redmondag.church for all the details, or pick up a packet this Sunday.

Thank You for Giving

Thank you for being faithful to give. Every time you give to Redmond AG, you are giving toward our mission of creating authentic experiences for people to be transformed by Jesus. Your giving also allows us to support missionaries around the world and community partners right here in Redmond.

Your giving really is making a difference, and we couldn’t do what we do without faithful givers like you.

You can give in the black boxes at the back of the auditorium or online here: https://redmondag.churchcenter.com/giving This is going to be another great week!

Thank you for continuing to invite your friends and family and for being part of what God is doing at Redmond AG. This is Week 2 of our 6-Week Challenge! Are you taking the challenge? Can you make it to church six Sundays in a row? I guarantee you won’t regret it!

See you Sunday,

Pastor Rob
