by Ryne Brewer Redeemer Family Look Ahead Upcoming rhythms, shared tables, and wee
Redeemer Family,
Look Ahead:
June 23rd — Prayer Walk | 6:30–7:30 PM
We will meet at Flora Wilson Park.
Mark your calendars and come expectant for God to meet us, tune our hearts, and help us see what he sees.
It has been said, “History is on the side of the intercessors.” May we become a people who faithfully pray for God to act on behalf of others.
June 25th — Worship Night at Silver Fox
Doors open at 5:30 PM for free coffee, pastries, and time to connect with new friends. Worship will begin around 6:15 PM.
For all of our families, childcare will be provided.
If you're already a part of helping us plant Redeemer I encourage you to be at Silver Fox by 5 PM to help welcome neighbors and new friends who are coming to connect and worship with us.
Every space we create together is a "table" -- we want to be a people that walk into spaces saying "There you are, not here I am."
June 28th — Gathering & Family Table
Following our Sunday Gathering at the Slaters’, we will gather together to eat, pray, and receive updates on the status of Redeemer as we continue moving forward as a church plant.
We are moving at the pace of relationship. God is honoring our intentional, worshipful efforts as he works through us to form a growing church. I am genuinely excited about the days ahead.

What Do We Value?
Spiritual Formation
Definition
As a community, we believe in the total transformation of individuals, spiritually, emotionally, and relationally—as we grow into the likeness of Christ. This formation happens in the context of relationships around the table, focused on Jesus and shaped through spiritual practices that open us to the work of the Holy Spirit.
(Romans 12:1–2; 2 Corinthians 3:18; Ephesians 4:22–24)
Quote
"The Christian is not a person who has no bad habits, or even no bad thoughts. The Christian is a person who is being changed by the grace of God into the likeness of Christ."
— John Stott
Reflection
One of the great myths of our age is that we can become who we want to be without paying attention to what is shaping us. But every day, our habits, rhythms, relationships, and desires are forming us into someone.
The question is not whether we are being formed, but who or what is forming us.
At Redeemer, we believe spiritual formation is not merely about acquiring more biblical knowledge. It is about apprenticing ourselves to Jesus so that, over time, we become people who think, love, and live more like him.
This kind of transformation rarely happens in dramatic moments. More often, it happens around ordinary tables, through ordinary conversations, and through ordinary practices faithfully repeated over time.
As Dallas Willard often said, grace is not opposed to effort; it is opposed to earning. We participate with the Spirit by creating space for Jesus to shape us.
Reflection Questions
Are the rhythms and habits in your life forming you into the likeness of Christ?
Does your current pace of life create enough space to be with Jesus?
What's one step you can take this week to remove a habit that is pulling you away from Jesus—or create space for a practice that helps you be with him?
Sitting at the table with you,
Pastor Ryne
