Date Stone

At every step in the process Redeemer members and friends have had the opportunity to personally leave their mark on our Sacred Space project.

At the April kick-off, Easter weekend 2010, each of us had the opportunity to sign the large steel beam that forms that top of our new worship and performance stage in the renovated gymnasium.

At or annual Homecoming picnic, September 2010, each of us had the opportunity to sign the floor of the new Town Square that greets members and visitors as they first enter Redeemer.
And now, another special opportunity, to leave a message for a future generation of Redeemer members, by writing a personal letter to be secured behind the "2010" date stone that will be installed on Sunday, November 28, 2010.

What should the letter say? Consider writing about what Redeemer has meant to you and your family in your faith walk; perhaps examples of how the Lord has worked in your life, or, the relationship you have with your Lord; perhaps a favorite Bible verse; perhaps a hope or prayer you have for future generations of Redeemerites. And for the kids, it might just be a crayon drawing of themselves at church. Of course we would accept crayon drawings from adults as well...

Where should I take the letter? Just outside Pastor Randy's office, at the side of the sanctuary, is a white box where you can place your letter. For your letter to be installed behind the date stone it must be deposited before 10:30 a.m. the morning of Sunday, November 28.

By the way, why three date stones in the photo above? The bottom stone, from the old West Entrance, installed during the 1970 renovation, was saved and re-installed. In the middle, our 2010 date stone, commemorating our Sacred Space renewal. And on top, a third stone, to be left blank, as a message to future Redeemer members, that our work is never finished as we seek to spread the Good News.
