Sunday, January 31 will see a changed-up schedule for Redeemer; we’ll have one service at 9:00am, followed by our Annual Meeting in the parish hall, then we’ll top it all off with a Chili Cook Off.

The Chili Cook Off will begin right after the annual meeting. Bring your best chili in a crock pot or on a warming tray, and we will have tables set up to receive it. As soon as the annual meeting is over we start tasting all the chili entries. Several winners from prior years have promised to bring their winning recipes!

We’re planning a fun time, and the gauntlet has been thrown down to beat the prior years’ best chili.

No secret family recipe for an award-winning chili? No problem — bring some fixings: crackers, cheese, onions, salad or coleslaw.

Let’s start this year with a great annual meeting, and follow it up with some great Redeemer hospitality!
