Adult Sunday Morning Class
Serious question: why is it that some Lutherans make the sign of the Cross during worship, and others don’t? And why do some worship leaders wear white robes and some wear black robes? What do Pentecostals believe, anyway? Or, to put the same questions more simply: Why is religion so confusing?
The answer is that it’s not – or at least it doesn’t have to be!
The heart of Christianity is as simple as the affirmation that Jesus loves us. But because we are one of the world’s oldest and most diverse faith traditions, our basic ideas have been interpreted and expanded upon in many different ways, through the centuries and around the world. Learning more about the Scriptures and the Christian heritage can deepen our appreciation of God’s work in the world.
Join us if you can for a weekly chance to travel the highways and byways of the faith.

Crossroads Confirmation
For Lutherans, Confirmation is a valuable milestone in our life of faith, a time of intentional learning, formation, and relationship-building as young people explore more deeply the faith given to them in baptism. At Our Redeemer, Crossroads Confirmation is a three-year program for students in 7th grade and above, which includes monthly class time, participation in worship, and other formation opportunities. Our next class will be on Sunday, January 11 at 6pm. If you would like to participate in the program, please contact Pastor Kerri at [email protected].
Growing in God
Students in pre-k and kindergarten meet upstairs in the preschool rooms, 1st-6th graders meet in the social hall, and 7th-12th graders meet in the youth room. Parents/guardians should plan to complete the “Student Information Sheet” online. Talk to Pastor Kerri or Phyllis Permar if you have any questions. There will not be class on December 28 or January 4.
Pub Theology
If you are you looking for a place to meet or make friends, and discuss the important things of life? Pub Theology is the place for you. Each time we meet, a new topic of discussion is raised ranging from theological to social. The topic is revealed that evening at each table. A clear set of Ground Rules (posted at each table) ensure that all opinions are respected. There is no need to be a Bible Scholar or a theologian because your interests and life experiences are enough for this gathering. Current participants come from many denominational backgrounds and we are also enriched by individuals within the group that view themselves as agnostic, atheist or uncertain. Pub Theology is meant to be a safe space where people can come to talk, listen and make friends.
Our next gathering for Pub Theology will be on Tuesday, January 20. We will meet at Bubba's Burghers, 114 Southpointe Blvd., Canonsburg. See you there!
