Moving On and Growing Closer to God
Unfortunately, many Christians find themselves in the midst of a divorce. It is a difficult time filled with loss and anguish. Often a person feels abandoned in this time of great despair. Redeemer's family sees this as an excellent opportunity to provide an atmosphere of non-judgmental learning. We are seeking to minister not only to our own Redeemer Family hurting through this terrible life event, but to use this as an outreach to the community at large.
If you know of anyone who is separated, divorced or contemplating either, feel free to refer them to this group. Please contact Jeff Shoumaker at 309-691-2333 or email jeff.shoumaker@redeemerlutheran.com.
