Baby Bottle Drive
Our Redeemer’s Baby Bottle Drive is being held during the month of January. We will be supporting National Lutherans For Life and the Luke 5-2 Pregnancy and Prenatal Care Center. Please take a bottle from the narthex, fill it with the money of your choice and return it by February 1st. Checks should be made payable to Our Redeemer with “baby bottle drive” in the memo line. We were blessed last year with some large contributions making it possible to tremendously help these organizations meet their bills.
Mission Life Care Packages
On February 5th Mission Life students will be packing boxes of cookies and other goodies for our college students and military persons who are away so they know they are in our thoughts and prayers while they are away. If you would like your child to receive a package please let Kathy Sowers or the office know their address by January 30th. Thank you!!

FOOD FOR FRIENDS
Everyone knows how nice it is to have a home cooked meal, and everyone knows how time consuming it can be to prepare one. We are starting an exciting new ministry to help some of our fellow members at ORLC going through tough times. A recently deceased loved one, a family member in the hospital, a caregiver providing for the disabled, these are all stressful life moments and preparing dinner is the last thing people want to worry about. The idea of this ministry is to provide a little relief by delivering an occasional meal to these families. We are seeking volunteers to help prepare these meals. We are only requesting a commitment of one meal per month. We would also like to hear from anyone that knows of someone that could benefit from this ministry. Please contact Scott Johnston at 586-453-6785, or email scottjohnston123@gmail.com for volunteers or for possible recipients.
Quilting Group - Every Monday
