LIGHT UP CHRISTMAS AT REDEMPTION CHURCH! The Christmas season is supposed to be the most wonderful time of the year, yet for most we are confronted with broken relationships, unmet expectations, and missed loved ones. This Christmas, come join us at Redemption Church as we discover that Christmas is wonderful, not because of what is happening around us, but because of something that has already happened. Bring the whole family as we discover joy and hope in the Light of Christmas.
"Leave the cooking to us!"
