GOD IN EVERYDAY LIFE: 2025
This summer we spent Sunday mornings exploring the good gifts that God has given us. We invited different people from our congregation to come share with us how they see God in their everyday life. Each week they brought their job or hobby to us and we learned about how God meets us in everything. Scroll to find out how we discovered God in Everyday Life.
Reading the Bible
Sarah shared with us her love of reading the Bible. She made it so fun, so engaging, so accessible. Kids read a passage, learned to journal their thoughts, questions, or were encouraged to draw or collage their feelings after they read a story about Jesus as a boy. They then decorated their journals to take home. Thank you, Sarah, for sharing your knowledge of Greek, your joy of reading, and your love of Jesus with our kids!
karaoke
We welcomed Jacob & Hannah who shared how karaoke takes courage, and is about participation over perfection. They encouraged us to be courageous in our relationship with God, and to remember that God just wants participation over perfection with us. We had so much fun!
cross stitch
Melanie shared with us about her love of cross stitch. She brought in completed work, works in progress, and some not even started. Kids got to try it on their own. Melanie sent each Redeemer Kid home with their own Christmas ornament hand stitched by her as a remembrance of our morning together! Melanie told us that God meets her in cross stitch as it causes her to slow down, be mindful, and think of others as she creates. Thanks, Melanie, for a great morning together!
art
Becky came in to talk to us about her love of art. She talked to us about the first artist, God. And the first creator, Jesus and how we are made in their image. Being made in their image means we do things like them. And when we create we make God happy. We talked about the different ways we create, from doing hair to building buildings. And then enjoyed creating these art pieces to reflect our individual creativity. Thank you Ms. Becky for sharing your love of God and love of art with us!
cooking
We welcomed Chef Eric Ramazzini and Sous Chef Jessica Ramazzini! The Ramazzini's cook for TND and talked to us about the service of cooking food and highlighted the service of Jesus to others. Kids made yogurt, fruit, and granola parfaits to serve at fellowship. Chef Eric also highlighted the diversity of the parfait and how it all comes together to make something wonderful - reminding the kids they are made different and bring different gifts and abilities to the church and their communities. Thanks Chef Eric and Chef Jessica for sharing your talents with us!
KIDS do God in everyday Life
Kids brought their own passions and hobbies to share! It was the best morning! Computer coding, art, rock collecting, painting, gymnastics, magnets, horseback riding, drawing, and more filled our morning. These kids see God in everything they do!
kitten fostering
Thank you Annie for teaching us all the things about what it means to quite literally care for God's creation, preparing a craft for us, and letting us play with OJ. It was a morning to remember in Redeemer Kids. 8 week old OJ did not disappoint. It was the morning we had been waiting for. Thank you for reminding us about adoption into God's family, and caring for least of these through OJ's adoption and your care for a baby kitten no one else wanted to care for.
ER Doctor
Our last week of the summer had us welcoming in everyone's most favorite doctor...he has many names, and is one of most favorite people on the planet! Doc, Doctor Jerry, Red Nose, Jerry the Red Nose Doctor. He taught us to stabilize bones, stop bleeding, treat head wounds, and how to call 911 from a locked phone. He talked about God, the Great Physician, and the wonder of our bodies. Thanks doc for being our friend, our doctor, and the one who calms our fears!
