This year the Marquette County Community Baby Shower will take place on April 22 at the Negaunee Township Hall.

Please donate new or handmade items (newborn through six months). Suggested items are: diapers, wipes, shampoo, lotion, socks, onesies, clothes, bottles and blankets. If you would like to make a donation of cash or a gift card, please leave it in the church office. These will be used to purchase large items like Pack N’ Play, cribs and high chairs. This is a wonderful way to help families in the area welcome their new babies. If you have any questions please contact Maryellen Arntsen at 236-3062.

Mark your calendars and get ready to start bidding! Beginning April 2 Redeemer will be hosting a silent auction to help support the youth trip to the National Youth Gathering in July. The auction will run for four weekends in April and will close at the Spring Cookout on April 24. Items for auction will include baskets put together by the families of our youth gathering participants, with themes ranging from coffee lover’s dream to a road trip’s worth of entertainment.

Prayer Chain
Redeemer’s Prayer Chain is looking for volunteers to become prayer partners. A prayer partner is notified of a prayer request by their choice of an email or a phone call. You then pray using the prayer that you’ve received. Jeannette Hauver is the Prayer Chain coordinator. She receives prayer requests from the blue Prayer Chain Request cards in the pews, by phone, by email or in person. More information will be distributed at a gathering on Wednesday, May 11 at 6:30 pm, honoring current Prayer Partners and those interested in becoming a Prayer Partner. Contact Jeannette Hauver at 226-6808 or [email protected] if you want more information or can’t attend the meeting about this important ministry.

Join us for this video-based study by bestselling author Max Lucado as he draws on the scriptural account of Joshua. These days are glory days.

TUESDAY EVENING STUDY: Adult Study
“Vanishing Grace” 7 pm What ever happened to the Good News?
In this intriguing video-based study hosted by Philip Yancy, Yancy shows the desperate need our world has for grace, and how Christians can truly make the Gospel Good News again. In this study we will explore what kind of news is good to a culture that thinks it has rejected the Christian version. We will examine illuminating stories of how faith can be expressed in ways that disarm even the most cynical critics.

Acts 9:1-15
1Meanwhile, Saul was still
breathing out murderous threats against the Lord's disciples. He went to the high priest
2and asked him for
letters to the synagogues in Damascus, so that if he found any there who belonged to the Way, whether men or women, he might take them as prisoners to Jerusalem.
3As he neared
Damascus on his journey, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him.
4He fell to the ground and
heard a voice say to him, "Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?"
5"Who are you, Lord?" Saul
asked. "I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting," he replied.
6"Now get
up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do."
7The men traveling with Saul
stood there speechless; they heard the sound but did not see anyone. 8Saul got up from the ground, but
when he opened his eyes he could see nothing. So they led him by the hand into Damascus.
9For three
days he was blind, and did not eat or drink anything.
10In Damascus there was a
disciple named Ananias. The Lord called to him in a vision, "Ananias!" "Yes, Lord," he answered.
11The Lord told him, "Go to the
house of Judas on Straight Street and ask for a man from Tarsus named Saul, for he is praying.
12In a
vision he has seen a man named Ananias come and place his hands on him to restore his sight."
13"Lord," Ananias answered, "I
have heard many reports about this man and all the harm he has done to your saints in Jerusalem.
14And
he has come here with authority from the chief priests to arrest all who call on your name."
15But the Lord said to Ananias,
"Go! This man is my chosen instrument to carry my name before the Gentiles and their kings and before the people of Israel.” Revelation 5:1-14 Then I saw in the right hand of him who sat on the throne a scroll with writing on both sides and sealed with seven seals.
2 And I saw a
mighty angel proclaiming in a loud voice, “Who is worthy to break the seals and open the scroll?”
3 But no
one in heaven or on earth or under the earth could open the scroll or even look inside it.
4 I wept and wept
because no one was found who was worthy to open the scroll or look inside.
5 Then one of the elders said
to me, “Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals.” 6 Then I saw a Lamb, looking as if it
had been slain, standing in the center of the throne, encircled by the four living creatures and the elders. He had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth.
7 He came and took the scroll
from the right hand of him who sat on the throne.
8And when he had
taken it, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. (continued)

Each one had a harp and they were holding golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. 9And they sang a new song:
"You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, because you were slain, and with your blood you purchased men for God from every tribe and language and people and nation.
10You have made them to be a
kingdom and priests to serve our God, and they will reign on the earth."
11Then I looked and heard the
voice of many angels, numbering thousands upon thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand. They encircled the throne and the living creatures and the elders.
12In a loud
voice they sang: "Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!"
13Then I heard every creature in
heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, singing: "To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power, for ever and ever!"
14The four
living creatures said, "Amen," and the elders fell down and worshiped.
John 21:1-19
1Afterward Jesus appeared again
to his disciples, by the Sea of Tiberias. It happened this way: 2Simon Peter, Thomas (called
Didymus), Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples were together. 3"I'm going out to fish," Simon Peter
told them, and they said, "We'll go with you." So they went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing.
4Early in the morning, Jesus
stood on the shore, but the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus.
5He called out to them, "Friends,
haven't you any fish?" "No," they answered.
6He said, "Throw your net on the
right side of the boat and you will find some." When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish.
7Then the disciple whom Jesus
loved said to Peter, "It is the Lord!" As soon as Simon Peter heard him say, "It is the Lord," he wrapped his outer garment around him (for he had taken it off) and jumped into the water.
8The other disciples followed
in the boat, towing the net full of fish, for they were not far from shore, about a hundred yards. 9When they landed, they saw a fire
of burning coals there with fish on it, and some bread.
10Jesus said to them, "Bring some
of the fish you have just caught."

Simon Peter climbed aboard and dragged the net ashore. It was full of large fish, 153, but even with so many the net was not torn. 12
Jesus said to them, "Come and have breakfast." None of the disciples dared ask him, "Who are you?" They knew it was the Lord. 13
Jesus came, took the bread and gave it to them, and did the same with the fish.
14This was now the
third time Jesus appeared to his disciples after he was raised from the dead. 15
When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon son of John, do you truly love me more than these?" "Yes, Lord," he said, "you know that I love you." Jesus said, "Feed my lambs." 16
Again Jesus said, "Simon son of John, do you truly love me?" He answered, "Yes, Lord, you know that I love you." Jesus said, "Take care of my sheep." 17
The third time he said to him, "Simon son of John, do you love me?" Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, "Do you love me?" He said, "Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you." Jesus said, "Feed my sheep. 18
I tell you the truth, when you were younger you dressed yourself and went where you wanted; but when you are old you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go."
19 Jesus said this to indicate the kind
of death by which Peter would glorify God. Then he said to him, "Follow me!"
