During this season, Redeemer West Side is leaning into our value of “Pursuing and Promoting Shalom.” Together, we’re seeking the flourishing of our city. As you consider what taking your next step in pursuing shalom might mean, I invite you to pray about joining our Shalom Lab.
Beginning on February 8, the Shalom Lab will gather a community of Redeemer West Siders who will think deeply and creatively about how to build real relationships with underserved and marginalized neighbors that we live and work around.
One of the wonders of the gospel is that Jesus Christ “became flesh and blood and moved into the neighborhood” (John 1v14, in The Message). As a people shaped by the gospel, we are following Jesus in seeking the renewal of neighborhoods. I’m excited about how the Shalom Lab will help us do that, and I hope you consider joining.
With hope,
Pastor Bijan

How can we redesign our lives to build meaningful relationships with marginalized people while also effecting tangible change for the holistic flourishing of our city?
Through the collaborative efforts of Redeemer West Side and the Center for Faith & Work, the Shalom Lab will equip you with tools from design-thinking, asset-based community development, and a biblical theology of kingdom change. This is a four-session workshop taking place on February 8 (10 am to 4 pm), February 27 (7 to 9 pm), March 13 (7 to 9 pm), and March 27 (7 to 9 pm). Register and learn more here.
