Dear Redemption Family,
This month, we are so grateful to have opportunities to serve together and grow together as a church! It has been a long season of isolation for so many, and we thank God that we are beginning to see doors open for greater discipleship, fellowship, and service!
Community Groups are starting up this month, and we are looking forward to these times of encouragement, prayer, and relationship during the week. We currently have a Tuesday and a Wednesday group, so if you'd like to participate, let us know! (Email pastor Daniel at daniel@redemptiondb.com)
We also have many opportunities coming up to serve our local community, and show God's love to those in need in our city and county. Titus 3:14 tells us we are to be devoted to good works, and as we serve others, we will see God at work in our own hearts as well.
Love Delray is a quarterly volunteer initiative that seeks to unite our community through collaboration and service. The next quarterly event is on Saturday, March 19th from 8:15am-12pm and is an easy way to join with us and other believers in our city to work on various service projects that help those in need. Sign up at www.lovedelray.com to come serve with us!
Finally, Proclaim Church in Lantana, which was sent out from Redemption Church as a new church plant in 2019, has invited us to participate in any of the many areas of community outreach they are leading in our county. (Read Pastor Will’s Note Below)
We are thankful to see God giving us so many ways to serve and grow with one another as we pursue and proclaim Jesus!
Pastor Will Torres and his wife, Kristan were sent out from Redemption Church to plant Proclaim Church in North Palm Beach County in 2019, and we are privileged to continue to partner with them in loving and serving our communities together. Read the message from Pastor Will below about ways we can get involved in serving together:
A Note from Pastor Will Torres:
As many know, Advent Lantana has united with Proclaim Church to now be known as Proclaim Church, an Advent Life Ministry. We are so excited about what God is doing here and in our region and we are so glad to be connected and in relationship with all of you.
With that in mind, I wanted to let you know about some opportunities we have for some ministry collaboration, and ways that our churches can help serve our community together.
Through Advent Boca's relationship with a non profit organization called Boca Helping Hands, we have some great programs that are meeting the needs of the poor and hungry in Palm Beach County. It's a great opportunity to maybe have a small group serve together, or if you have individuals who are looking to volunteer on a regular basis.
1. Saturday Food Distribution.
From 12pm-3pm every Saturday we serve over 160 individual family units with a full bag of groceries, a bag of frozen meats, and vegetables/juice. Boca Helping Hands delivers the food, and we handle volunteer coordination. We try to get a team of 8 individuals for this team.
2. Friday Night Hot Meal Distribution.
Every Friday from 4:30pm-6pm we are giving away free hot meals to any car that drives up to our location. We manage this project with 6 individuals every Friday night.
3."Take 5 Community Closet."
Every second Saturday of the month from 9am-12pm, this is where we have a community closet where any member of the community can come and pick out 5 individual clothing items for themselves and each of their family members.
This is a great opportunity for teens to get service hours for school and also a great opportunity for volunteers who want to get their feet wet serving and being the hand and feet of Jesus!
We would love to have you join us! Just e-mail me to let me know when you’d like to serve at wtorres@goadvent.org
Proclaiming Christ alone,
Will Torres
