Our Redeemer Lutheran Church in Independance












Our Redeemer of Independence celebrates the baptism of Abigayle J. with its annual summer church picnic on July 27th.

On July fourth, Our Redeemer of Independence entered a float into the city’s Independence Day parade. This year’s parade theme was “Extreme Makeover: Independence Edition.” Under the direction of Janet Buls several members constructed a float matching this year’s theme. Focusing on the foundation of our faith, the float made its way through town accompanied by a number of church members as well as the pastor, who donned a clerical collar, jean shorts, and a hard hat for just such an occasion. Although the float did not win any awards, members of Our Redeemer are proud to bear this cross while clinging to the hope of next year.
