Making all the Holy Week Liturgies part of your experience can change your life!

[ April 2, 2010; 7:30 pm to 8:30 pm. ] At this liturgy, the first thing to strike our senses is the unfamiliar barrenness of the worship space. There is nothing to distract our attention from the Cross and the saving events we commemorate. It is a time of great solemnity. However, the profundity of the liturgy should not be confused with mourning. We are [...]

Please join us this Holy Week for an evening Maundy Thursday service and Gesthemane Vigil.
The word “Maundy” in this day’s title comes from the Latin word “mandatum” which means “commandment”. It is taken from the Gospel according to John’s account of Jesus’ washing of the disciples’ feet at the Last Supper.
On this day we rejoice [...]

[ March 28, 2010; 10:00 am to 12:00 pm. ] Please join us on Palm Sunday for a single 10:00 A.M. service, beginning with a procession from the Undercroft to the Nave.

Actually, the correct title of this first day of Holy Week is not “Palm Sunday”, but rather “The Sunday of the Passion.”

The central experience of all worship at Redeemer is communion with Christ and [...]

[ March 13, 2010; 5:00 pm to 6:00 pm. ] Cellist extraordinaire Nathan Whittaker will perform J. S. Bach’s Suite #5 in c minor for this service of music and readings. This is a great opportunity to invite friends and neighbors to be part of the season at Redeemer, as well as deepening your own Lenten journey. A soup supper will follow the liturgy.

As we approach the beginning of another Lent-Holy Week, it is a good time to revisit the “reason for being” of the Volunteer Activities, centered around Holy Week. Our theme is seeking life in Christ and the Holy Week liturgies strike at the heart of that theme.
My Goal, as Holy Week Coordinator, is to help [...]

[ February 13, 2010; 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm. ]

Save the date! On Saturday, February 13th we are having a Pre-Lent Pot Luck Dinner. Bring a dish to share with your friends and we will supply the music. Remember, fasting can seem long during Lent, so you might want to bring something you will miss: meat, chocolate, dessert, etc.

The dinner will follow the 5pm [...]
