Caring for Neighbors During a Crisis
March 25, 2020
Last Sunday Pastor Tom called us to respond to the COVID-19 crisis with faith, for our own peace of mind and so we can boldly love our neighbors. This communication is meant to help you pray and think about how to engage the needs around you.
We know that love requires caution with our health and the health of others, but also calls us to proactively care for one another and people in our neighborhoods and workplaces.
As Christians, we should react distinctively different than others, who are led by panic and overwhelmed by crisis. Jesus ...

A Prayer for the Church in the Early Days of the COVID-19 Pandemic
Almighty God,
Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend, You who sit enthroned over the flood— We are staggering in the surf of breakers bringing bad news, and worse news, while an invisible menace laps at our doorstep.
Father of all mercies, have mercy on us. We are anxious, exhausted, angry, and sad. We need your peace that surpasses understanding to guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Be our refuge and strength; be our very present help in this time ...
March 18 Letter from our Senior Pastor regarding coronavirus.

Dear members and attenders,
"Welcome to the new normal!" I think that's what we are all coming to terms with. Who would have thought six months ago that we'd be negotiating a world-wide pandemic surrounding COVID-19 virus, and that terms like social-distancing and self-quarantine would actually be understandable? But this is the "new normal," and the latest estimates suggest that these changes to our lifestyle are going to be with us for a while.
Thankfully, as I reminded us on Sunday, COVID-19 has not taken our God by ...
March 13 Letter from our Senior Pastor regarding coronavirus.

Dear members and attenders,
As many of you now know, San Antonio verified its first travel-related coronavirus case today. City officials confirm that this person has no relation to any of the evacuees at JBSA-Lackland who were infected with the virus and is under a self-quarantine. This case does not yet represent community spread of the virus, but it is impossible to determine who else might be currently infected with COVID-19 in San Antonio.
This development also prompted Mayor Ron Nirenberg to declare a public health ...
March 12 Letter from our Senior Pastor regarding coronavirus.

March 12, 2020
Dear members and attenders,
As we indicated on Monday in our email correspondence, should the need arise to adjust various aspects of our Sunday morning practices, Redeemer is ready. On Wednesday, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared that COVID-19, the virus is now a pandemic. There are more than 120,000 cases worldwide and there have been 4,000 deaths. In the United States there are now more than 1,000 cases.
In regard to the situation in San Antonio though, nothing has changed since Monday. There is no current ...
RPC ministry partnerships extend across the border.
March 06, 2020
What started as a series of speaking engagements in Monterrey, Mexico is yielding cross-cultural fruit for Redeemer this year, as a relationship between RPC, the Centro para la Plantación de Iglesias (CPI) church planting network and City to City Latin America grows.
In 2018 and 2019, RPC Senior Pastor Tom Gibbs and Associate Pastor Victor Martinez traveled to Monterrey multiple times to provide training in leadership and church planting to CPI planters. CPI is a longstanding church planting network associated with the National Presbyterian ...
Mentors needed for new RPC partner Thru Project.
March 02, 2020
The first time Robyn Parker ran the dishwasher in her very first apartment after leaving the foster care system at the age of 19, bubbles began to overflow out of the machine and onto the floor. She called the only adult whose phone number she knew — her former case worker, Chris Lopez, who explained to her the difference between dish soap and dishwashing detergent. It wasn’t the last time she would need to call on Chris in a stressful moment.
“I didn’t know you were supposed to separate laundry, and I had just bought new jeans, so ...
