Reporting for the RYMS National Youth Gathering Team: Emmy I joined Redeemer Lutheran Church about a year ago, and honestly, it was the best thing that could of happened to me. My faith back then wasn’t strong; actually it had decreased drastically from when I was younger. But, as soon as I got to Redeemer, I got involved in tons of really fun and God-related activities in the youth program

When our National Youth Gathering Team left on July 22 for their trip to Florida, they left a message in chalk on the church driveway: “When we come back, we’ll be roaring lambs!” We are Jesus’ little lambs; He is our Good Shepherd, leading us to eternal life. Jesus is the Lion of Judah, the Great King, who conquers the enemies of sin, death, and the devil. When we speak the Word of Christ,

June 13, 2004 Associate pastor enjoys chatting with Wilson students By Cindy Hodgson Lakeshore Chronicle staff writer MANITOWOC — When the Rev. Ben Squires, associate pastor at Redeemer Lutheran Church, noticed students were walking past the Menasha Avenue church on their way home from Wilson Junior High, sometimes even skateboarding in the parking lot, he decided to seize the opportunity.

What is Disc Golf? It is like regular golf except you use a flying disc (also known as a Frisbee®). You throw the disc and try to use the least number of throws to get in the basket. Basically, though, it’s just a cool way to hang out with friends out in the sunshine. Two options this summer: just come and give disc golf a try or join the RYMS Disc Golf League (see below).

She has Asset #26 Caring, and I'd like to tell her that--if only I knew her name. I was at the BP/Amoco station on North 11th Street in Manitowoc. The cashier asked if I wanted to turn my Mountain Dew into the 2 for $2 deal. I said, "I only got $2, so I can't cover the 10 cents of tax." Suddenly this youth placed a quarter on the counter. "Here you go!" I thanked her as she headed out the

On Saturday February 21st, 12 youth and 7 adults joined in the snow, sun, and fun of Wacky Wild Winter Olympics. We started with a game of football, slowed down by the snow, but which ended in dramatic fashion with Travis' winning catch in the end zone. Next we headed out to try some bowling--with softballs and toy blocks. There was more snowball throwing than bowling, I think. After that,

Super Bowl Party/Anti-Super Bowl Party We had 46 youth (31 RYMS, 14 Friends) come hang out to either watch football, commercials, or just play games. While we had to yell at the TV during halftime, telling the performers that they were not living as Christ would have us live, we still had a great time. It was an awesome way for us to spend time together and meet new friends. Many youth made

Nearly 60 people stayed for lunch after worship yesterday for a lunch to celebrate our youth and our youth ministry. We rejoiced in what has been doing through our youth. We celebrated how our youth continue to invite friends to events and to check out Jesus. We thanked the congregation for their support, our youth leaders for their commitment, and the Adult Youth Board for their vision. We

Thanks to those who came to have lunch with me today during your Christmas Break. We had a good time hanging out, eating lunch and the goodies some people brought. The group also helped me do a little brainstorming for my New Year's Eve sermon on Romans 8:35-39. To see that sermon, go to: New Year's Eve Sermon.

Some of our brochures have gone out advertising the date of our Super Bowl/Anti-Super Bowl Party. However, the NFL never checked with us when they decided that the game is on Sunday, February 1, and not the last week in January. If you've got the party in your calendar, and I know you do, please make sure you now put it down for February 1, 5:00 PM until the game's over.

OK, I'll admit I'm a little sore today either from falling (thanks to trying to chase Kayla) or just from trying to remember how to skate. We had 26 youth (16 RYMS, 10 friends). It was a great time! I really enjoyed spending time with the RYMS, and had a great chance to get to know some of our friends who might be interested in future RYMS events. Thanks to everyone who planned and helped
