Our Coat of Arms was featured in an art show at Concordia Theological Seminary. Now it’s hanging back in place on our balcony front. This is what congregants see as they are exiting the Nave. What a blessing it is to have fine, liturgical art in our Nave.

Enjoy this funny, liturgical joke sent to us by a friend.
If you can’t make it to Redeemer in Fort Wayne for our Friday devotion of Stations of the Cross, you can join us in spirit. Here is the bulletin that we hand out to people to use at their own pace. If you can join us, we have the church open by 12:00 p.m., and have an elder here until 1:00 p.m.
Every Friday in Lent, we will offer a self-paced, personal devotion in our Nave. This gives the parishioner a chance to meditate upon Christ’s love for us as He marched toward the cross. We provide a detailed bulletin with instructions, the space, and have an elder on duty to let people in from 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. Call the church office if you have any questions. 260-744-2585.
