Learn more about the AAEO here. Redeemer will give a percent of our annual giving to the offering, and if you desire to give additional gifts, you can do so through the giving dropdown option online or in the church app, or indicating Annie Armstrong Easter Offering on your giving envelope Sunday mornings.

Ukrainian Relief Fund
Redeemer has given one month's operational expense of $6,000 to fund a refugee camp through our friends at Uttermost Evangelism (UE). 100% of funds raised go directly to support Ukrainian refugees at these camps. What a blessing! Please be in prayer for the following:
Summer campgrounds can be opened to shelter and feed more refugees as they continue to flee from the western part of Ukraine, at the cost of $6,000 per month.
UE is also working with Ukrainian pastors to learn the most effective way Redeemer can partner with one of their churches to offer continuing support there.
Redeemer will continue to give a portion of our offerings to this fund. You can also give over and above these offerings by designating extra funds to Ukrainian Relief Fund through the giving dropdown option online or in the church app, or indicating this fund on your giving envelope Sunday mornings.

Christmas in July Challenge! (Operation Christmas Child)
Did you know that the National Shoebox Collection Week is just 20 weeks away? Since July is a big month for back-to-school sales, it is a great time to start purchasing items for your shoebox. Also, by beginning to plan now for packing boxes, it will allow you to take advantage of sales and spread the cost over several months.
In some cases, your shoebox may be the first gift a child has ever received! Please be mindful in selecting quality items. Samaritan’s Purse also recommends that a WOW item to be included in each box. See link below for suggested items by gender and age. (If you don’t have an age in mind, consider packing for a child aged 10–14. This age range is often overlooked.)
So, will you take the Christmas in July Challenge and begin planning/shopping for your shoebox now? RDMR will beginning handing out shoeboxes in mid-October, so hold on to your items until then! Please contact Janet with any questions.
Operation Christmas Child Goal: 100 shoeboxes

These are days that place a parent/child relationship above their circumstances.
