Please contact Cocaine Anonymous for more information. In the spirit of Tradition Six\, C.A. is not allied with any sect\, denomination\, politics\, organization or institution. \n\n\n\nMeeting type: \n\n\n\n\nMeditation: Practices vary\, but typically there is a brief period of meditation prior to any sharing. The meditation may be silent or accompanied by audio intended to help facilitate the practice. Lights may be turned off or dimmed during the meditation.\n\n\n\nCandlelight: The meeting is conducted partly or entirely by candlelight.\n\n\n\n\nAbout C.A.\n\n\n\nCocaine Anonymous is a Fellowship of men and women who share their experience\, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others recover from their addiction. \n\n\n\nThe best way to reach someone is to speak to them on a common level. The members of C.A. are all recovering addicts who maintain their individual sobriety by working with others. We come from various social\, ethnic\, economic and religious backgrounds\, but what we have in common is addiction. \n\n\n\nThe only requirement for membership is a desire to stop using cocaine and all other mind-altering substances. \n\n\n\nAnyone who wants to stop using cocaine and all other mind-altering substances (including alcohol and other drugs) is welcome. \n\n\n\nThere are no dues or fees for membership; we are fully self-supporting through our own contributions. \n\n\n\nWe do ask for voluntary contributions at meetings to cover expenses such as coffee\, rent\, literature and services to help those who are still suffering. However\, newcomers need not feel obligated to contribute. We do not accept donations from organizations or individuals outside the Fellowship. \n\n\n\nWe are not allied with any sect\, denomination\, politics\, organization or institution. \n\n\n\nIn order to maintain our integrity and avoid any possible complications\, we are not affiliated with any outside organization. Although C.A. is a spiritual program\, we do not align ourselves with any religion. Our members are free to define their spirituality as they see fit. Our individual members may have opinions of their own\, but C.A. as a whole has no opinion on outside issues. We are not affiliated with any rehabs\, recovery houses or hospitals\, but many do refer their patients to Cocaine Anonymous to maintain their sobriety. \n\n\n\nOur primary purpose is to stay free from cocaine and all other mind-altering substances and to help others achieve the same freedom. \n\n\n\nThe only purpose of Cocaine Anonymous is to offer recovery to individuals who are suffering from addiction. Our experience has shown that the most effective way to attain and maintain sobriety is to work with others suffering from the same malady. \n\n\n\nWe use the Twelve-Step recovery program because it has already been proven that the Twelve-Step recovery program works. \n\n\n\nCocaine Anonymous\n\n\n\nWelcome to Cocaine Anonymous . We are all here for the same reason—our inability to stop using cocaine and all other mind-altering substances. The first step towards solving any problem is admitting that there is a problem. \n\n\n\n12 steps of Cocaine Anonymous\n\n\n\n\nWe admitted we were powerless over cocaine and all other mind-altering substances—that our lives had become unmanageable.\n\n\n\nCame to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.\n\n\n\nMade a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.\n\n\n\nMade a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.\n\n\n\nAdmitted to God\, to ourselves\, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.\n\n\n\nWere entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.\n\n\n\nHumbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.\n\n\n\nMade a list of all persons we had harmed\, and became willing to make amends to them all.\n\n\n\nMade direct amends to such people wherever possible\, except when to do so would injure them or others.\n\n\n\nContinued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.\n\n\n\nSought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him\, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.\n\n\n\nHaving had a spiritual awakening as the result of these Steps\, we tried to carry this message to addicts\, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.

We look forward to seeing you at this 10:30 am service of Holy Eucharist at Church of the Redeemer. \n\n\n\nIt is in-person and on-line. The link to the service live cast is on the Welcome page of this website. \n\n\n\nAll are welcome to participate fully at Redeemer. \n\n\n\n\nAll races.\n\n\n\nAll religions.\n\n\n\nAll countries of origin.\n\n\n\nAll sexual orientations (including LGBTQ+).\n\n\n\nAll genders.\n\n\n\n\nEucharist\n\n\n\nThe Eucharist is the sacrament of Christ’s body and blood\, and the principal act of Christian worship. The term is from the Greek\, “thanksgiving.” The Episcopal Church invites all baptized Christians to receive communion. \n\n\n\nJesus instituted the Eucharist “on the night when he was betrayed.” At the Last Supper he shared the bread and cup of wine at a sacred meal with his disciples. He identified the bread with his body and the wine with his blood of the new covenant. Jesus commanded his disciples to “do this” in remembrance of him. See these passages in Scripture: \n\n\n\n\n1 Corinthians 11:23-26\n\n\n\nMark 14:22-25\n\n\n\nMatthew 26:26-29\n\n\n\nLuke 22:14-20\n\n\n\n\nThe Book of Common Prayer\n\n\n\nThe Eucharist makes Christ’s sacrifice present. This unites us to Christ’s one self-offering (Book of Common Prayer\, p. 859). The Last Supper provides the basis for the fourfold Eucharistic action of taking\, blessing\, breaking\, and sharing. Christ’s body and blood are really present in the sacrament of the Eucharist and received by faith. We also know Christ’s presence in the gathered eucharistic community. \n\n\n\nThe Book of Common Prayer entitles the whole service the Holy Eucharist. \n\n\n\n\nThe first part of the service is designated the Word of God. It usually includes the entrance rite\, the lessons and gradual psalm\, the gospel\, the sermon\, the Nicene Creed\, the Prayers of the People\, the confession of sin and absolution\, and the Peace.\n\n\n\nThe second portion of the service is designated the Holy Communion. It includes the offertory\, the consecration of the bread and wine in the Great Thanksgiving\, the communion of the people\, and the concluding prayers of thanksgiving and dismissal. A blessing may be given prior to the dismissal.\n\n\n\n\nThe Eucharist is also called the Lord’s Supper\, Holy Communion\, the Divine Liturgy\, the Mass\, and the Great Offertory (BCP\, p. 859). \n\n\n\nThe Hymnal\n\n\n\nThe Hymnal 1982 includes a section with a variety of hymns for the Holy Eucharist (Numbers 300 through 347)\, including the following: \n\n\n\n\n“Come\, risen Lord\, and deign to be our guest” (305 and 306)\n\n\n\n“My God\, thy table now is spread” (321)\n\n\n\n“Now\, my tongue\, the mystery telling” (329 through 331)\n\n\n\n“I am the bread of life” (335)\n\n\n\n\n(Above taken from Eucharist .)

I will make of you a great nation\, and I will bless you\, and make your name great\, so that you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you\, and the one who curses you I will curse; and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” So Abram went\, as the Lord had told him. \n\n\n\nPsalm 121 (BCP)\n\n\n\nLevavi oculos \n\n\n\nI lift up my eyes to the hills; *   from where is my help to come?My help comes from the Lord\, *   the maker of heaven and earth.He will not let your foot be moved *   and he who watches over you will not fall asleep.Behold\, he who keeps watch over Israel *   shall neither slumber nor sleep;The Lord himself watches over you; *   the Lord is your shade at your right hand\,So that the sun shall not strike you by day\, *   nor the moon by night.The Lord shall preserve you from all evil; *   it is he who shall keep you safe.The Lord shall watch over your going out and your coming in\, *   from this time forth for evermore. \n\n\n\nRomans 4:1-5\, 13-17 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nWhat then are we to say was gained by Abraham\, our ancestor according to the flesh? For if Abraham was justified by works\, he has something to boast about\, but not before God. For what does the scripture say? “Abraham believed God\, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness.” Now to one who works\, wages are not reckoned as a gift but as something due. But to one who without works trusts him who justifies the ungodly\, such faith is reckoned as righteousness. For the promise that he would inherit the world did not come to Abraham or to his descendants through the law but through the righteousness of faith. If it is the adherents of the law who are to be the heirs\, faith is null and the promise is void. For the law brings wrath; but where there is no law\, neither is there violation. For this reason it depends on faith\, in order that the promise may rest on grace and be guaranteed to all his descendants\, not only to the adherents of the law but also to those who share the faith of Abraham (for he is the father of all of us\, as it is written\, “I have made you the father of many nations”)—in the presence of the God in whom he believed\, who gives life to the dead and calls into existence the things that do not exist. \n\n\n\nJohn 3:1-17 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nNow there was a Pharisee named Nicodemus\, a leader of the Jews. He came to Jesus by night and said to him\, “Rabbi\, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God; for no one can do these signs that you do apart from the presence of God.” Jesus answered him\, “Very truly\, I tell you\, no one can see the kingdom of God without being born from above.” Nicodemus said to him\, “How can anyone be born after having grown old? Can one enter a second time into the mother’s womb and be born?” Jesus answered\, “Very truly\, I tell you\, no one can enter the kingdom of God without being born of water and Spirit. What is born of the flesh is flesh\, and what is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not be astonished that I said to you\, ‘You must be born from above.’ The wind blows where it chooses\, and you hear the sound of it\, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.” Nicodemus said to him\, “How can these things be?” Jesus answered him\, “Are you a teacher of Israel\, and yet you do not understand these things? Very truly\, I tell you\, we speak of what we know and testify to what we have seen; yet you do not receive our testimony. If I have told you about earthly things and you do not believe\, how can you believe if I tell you about heavenly things? No one has ascended into heaven except the one who descended from heaven\, the Son of Man. And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness\, so must the Son of Man be lifted up\, that whoever believes in him may have eternal life. For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son\, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life.

Please contact Alcoholics Anonymous for more information. A.A. is not allied with any sect\, denomination\, politics\, organization or institution. \n\n\n\nWhat is Alcoholics Anonymous?\n\n\n\nAlcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of people who share their experience\, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism. \n\n\n\nThe only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking. There are no dues or fees for A.A. membership; we are self-supporting through our own contributions. A.A. is not allied with any sect\, denomination\, politics\, organization or institution; does not wish to engage in any controversy\, neither endorses nor opposes any causes. \n\n\n\nWhat A.A. does do: \n\n\n\n\nOur primary purpose is to stay sober and help other alcoholics to achieve sobriety.\n\n\n\nA.A. members share their experience with anyone seeking help with a drinking problem; they give person-to-person service or “sponsorship” to the alcoholic coming to A.A. from any source.\n\n\n\nThe A.A. program\, set forth in our Twelve Steps\, offers the alcoholic a way to develop a satisfying life without alcohol.\n\n\n\n\nThis program is discussed at A.A. group meetings. \n\n\n\n\nOpen speaker meetings — open to alcoholics and nonalcoholics. (Attendance at an open A.A. meeting is the best way to learn what A.A. is\, what it does\, and what it does not do.) At speaker meetings\, A.A. members “tell their stories.” They describe their experiences with alcohol\, how they came to A.A.\, and how their lives have changed as a result of Alcoholics Anonymous.\n\n\n\nOpen discussion meetings — one member speaks briefly about his or her drinking experience\, and then leads a discussion on A.A. recovery or any drinking-related problem anyone brings up. (Closed meetings are for A.A.s or anyone who may have a drinking problem.)\n\n\n\nClosed discussion meetings — conducted just as open discussions are\, but for alcoholics or prospective A.A.s only.\n\n\n\nStep meetings (usually closed) — discussion of one of the Twelve Steps.

We are going to call our rebirth choir Remington Drive Irregulars. This name comes from the historic name of 181st Street\, which provides the south boundary of the Redeemer campus. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe choir draws repertoire from the Sacred Harp tradition\, Taizé\, rounds\, and chant. Scheduled rehearsals are set for 7:00 pm on most Tuesdays. \n\n\n\nSelect the following to volunteer for the few\, the proud\, the Remington Drive Irregulars. \n\n\n\n\nSign up for the Remington Drive Irregulars\n\n\n\n\nVolunteering lets us know how much music to prepare. You will not commit to singing every Sunday for life by doing this. We expect to have “rotating” attendance in the choir. \n\n\n\nBenefits of singing in a choir\n\n\n\nSinging in a choir offers significant mental\, social\, and physical benefits\, such as the following: \n\n\n\n\nReducing stress and anxiety\n\n\n\nBoosting mood and self-esteem\n\n\n\nFostering a sense of community\n\n\n\nImproving cognitive skills like memory and music reading\n\n\n\nStrengthening respiratory and immune systems \n\n\n\n\nChoral singing can also improve heart function\, increase pain thresholds\, and provide a powerful sense of belonging and social connection.  \n\n\n\nThese articles back up those claims: \n\n\n\n\nChoir singing improves health\, happiness – and is the perfect icebreaker (University of Oxford)\n\n\n\n13 health (physical\, mental\, and social) benefits of choir singing: Choral singing is good for you\, your physical and mental health\, and social life (Interkultur)\n\n\n\nThe Mental-Health Benefits of Singing in a Choir: A body of research finds singing in a group boosts mood\, outlook\, and health (Psychology Today)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFrom the Venite\, exultemus (Psalm 95) in the Book of Common Prayer: \n\n\n\n\nCome\, let us sing to the Lord; *     let us shout for joy to the Rock of our salvation.Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving *     and raise a loud shout to him with psalms.

Please contact Cocaine Anonymous for more information. In the spirit of Tradition Six\, C.A. is not allied with any sect\, denomination\, politics\, organization or institution. \n\n\n\nMeeting type: \n\n\n\n\nMeditation: Practices vary\, but typically there is a brief period of meditation prior to any sharing. The meditation may be silent or accompanied by audio intended to help facilitate the practice. Lights may be turned off or dimmed during the meditation.\n\n\n\nCandlelight: The meeting is conducted partly or entirely by candlelight.\n\n\n\n\nAbout C.A.\n\n\n\nCocaine Anonymous is a Fellowship of men and women who share their experience\, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others recover from their addiction. \n\n\n\nThe best way to reach someone is to speak to them on a common level. The members of C.A. are all recovering addicts who maintain their individual sobriety by working with others. We come from various social\, ethnic\, economic and religious backgrounds\, but what we have in common is addiction. \n\n\n\nThe only requirement for membership is a desire to stop using cocaine and all other mind-altering substances. \n\n\n\nAnyone who wants to stop using cocaine and all other mind-altering substances (including alcohol and other drugs) is welcome. \n\n\n\nThere are no dues or fees for membership; we are fully self-supporting through our own contributions. \n\n\n\nWe do ask for voluntary contributions at meetings to cover expenses such as coffee\, rent\, literature and services to help those who are still suffering. However\, newcomers need not feel obligated to contribute. We do not accept donations from organizations or individuals outside the Fellowship. \n\n\n\nWe are not allied with any sect\, denomination\, politics\, organization or institution. \n\n\n\nIn order to maintain our integrity and avoid any possible complications\, we are not affiliated with any outside organization. Although C.A. is a spiritual program\, we do not align ourselves with any religion. Our members are free to define their spirituality as they see fit. Our individual members may have opinions of their own\, but C.A. as a whole has no opinion on outside issues. We are not affiliated with any rehabs\, recovery houses or hospitals\, but many do refer their patients to Cocaine Anonymous to maintain their sobriety. \n\n\n\nOur primary purpose is to stay free from cocaine and all other mind-altering substances and to help others achieve the same freedom. \n\n\n\nThe only purpose of Cocaine Anonymous is to offer recovery to individuals who are suffering from addiction. Our experience has shown that the most effective way to attain and maintain sobriety is to work with others suffering from the same malady. \n\n\n\nWe use the Twelve-Step recovery program because it has already been proven that the Twelve-Step recovery program works. \n\n\n\nCocaine Anonymous\n\n\n\nWelcome to Cocaine Anonymous . We are all here for the same reason—our inability to stop using cocaine and all other mind-altering substances. The first step towards solving any problem is admitting that there is a problem. \n\n\n\n12 steps of Cocaine Anonymous\n\n\n\n\nWe admitted we were powerless over cocaine and all other mind-altering substances—that our lives had become unmanageable.\n\n\n\nCame to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.\n\n\n\nMade a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.\n\n\n\nMade a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.\n\n\n\nAdmitted to God\, to ourselves\, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.\n\n\n\nWere entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.\n\n\n\nHumbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.\n\n\n\nMade a list of all persons we had harmed\, and became willing to make amends to them all.\n\n\n\nMade direct amends to such people wherever possible\, except when to do so would injure them or others.\n\n\n\nContinued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.\n\n\n\nSought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him\, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.\n\n\n\nHaving had a spiritual awakening as the result of these Steps\, we tried to carry this message to addicts\, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.

We look forward to seeing you at this 10:30 am service of Holy Eucharist at Church of the Redeemer. \n\n\n\nIt is in-person and on-line. The link to the service live cast is on the Welcome page of this website. \n\n\n\nAll are welcome to participate fully at Redeemer. \n\n\n\n\nAll races.\n\n\n\nAll religions.\n\n\n\nAll countries of origin.\n\n\n\nAll sexual orientations (including LGBTQ+).\n\n\n\nAll genders.\n\n\n\n\nEucharist\n\n\n\nThe Eucharist is the sacrament of Christ’s body and blood\, and the principal act of Christian worship. The term is from the Greek\, “thanksgiving.” The Episcopal Church invites all baptized Christians to receive communion. \n\n\n\nJesus instituted the Eucharist “on the night when he was betrayed.” At the Last Supper he shared the bread and cup of wine at a sacred meal with his disciples. He identified the bread with his body and the wine with his blood of the new covenant. Jesus commanded his disciples to “do this” in remembrance of him. See these passages in Scripture: \n\n\n\n\n1 Corinthians 11:23-26\n\n\n\nMark 14:22-25\n\n\n\nMatthew 26:26-29\n\n\n\nLuke 22:14-20\n\n\n\n\nThe Book of Common Prayer\n\n\n\nThe Eucharist makes Christ’s sacrifice present. This unites us to Christ’s one self-offering (Book of Common Prayer\, p. 859). The Last Supper provides the basis for the fourfold Eucharistic action of taking\, blessing\, breaking\, and sharing. Christ’s body and blood are really present in the sacrament of the Eucharist and received by faith. We also know Christ’s presence in the gathered eucharistic community. \n\n\n\nThe Book of Common Prayer entitles the whole service the Holy Eucharist. \n\n\n\n\nThe first part of the service is designated the Word of God. It usually includes the entrance rite\, the lessons and gradual psalm\, the gospel\, the sermon\, the Nicene Creed\, the Prayers of the People\, the confession of sin and absolution\, and the Peace.\n\n\n\nThe second portion of the service is designated the Holy Communion. It includes the offertory\, the consecration of the bread and wine in the Great Thanksgiving\, the communion of the people\, and the concluding prayers of thanksgiving and dismissal. A blessing may be given prior to the dismissal.\n\n\n\n\nThe Eucharist is also called the Lord’s Supper\, Holy Communion\, the Divine Liturgy\, the Mass\, and the Great Offertory (BCP\, p. 859). \n\n\n\nThe Hymnal\n\n\n\nThe Hymnal 1982 includes a section with a variety of hymns for the Holy Eucharist (Numbers 300 through 347)\, including the following: \n\n\n\n\n“Come\, risen Lord\, and deign to be our guest” (305 and 306)\n\n\n\n“My God\, thy table now is spread” (321)\n\n\n\n“Now\, my tongue\, the mystery telling” (329 through 331)\n\n\n\n“I am the bread of life” (335)\n\n\n\n\n(Above taken from Eucharist .)

We look forward to seeing you at this 8:00 am Sunday service of Holy Eucharist at Church of the Redeemer. It is in-person only. \n\n\n\nAll are welcome to participate fully at Redeemer. \n\n\n\n\nAll races.\n\n\n\nAll religions.\n\n\n\nAll countries of origin.\n\n\n\nAll sexual orientations (including LGBTQ+).\n\n\n\nAll genders.\n\n\n\n\nEucharist\n\n\n\nThe Eucharist is the sacrament of Christ’s body and blood\, and the principal act of Christian worship. The term is from the Greek\, “thanksgiving.” The Episcopal Church invites all baptized Christians to receive communion. \n\n\n\nJesus instituted the Eucharist “on the night when he was betrayed.” At the Last Supper he shared the bread and cup of wine at a sacred meal with his disciples. He identified the bread with his body and the wine with his blood of the new covenant. Jesus commanded his disciples to “do this” in remembrance of him. See these passages in Scripture: \n\n\n\n\n1 Corinthians 11:23-26\n\n\n\nMark 14:22-25\n\n\n\nMatthew 26:26-29\n\n\n\nLuke 22:14-20\n\n\n\n\nThe Book of Common Prayer\n\n\n\nThe Eucharist makes Christ’s sacrifice present. This unites us to Christ’s one self-offering (Book of Common Prayer\, p. 859). The Last Supper provides the basis for the fourfold Eucharistic action of taking\, blessing\, breaking\, and sharing. Christ’s body and blood are really present in the sacrament of the Eucharist and received by faith. We also know Christ’s presence in the gathered eucharistic community. \n\n\n\nThe Book of Common Prayer entitles the whole service the Holy Eucharist. \n\n\n\n\nThe first part of the service is designated the Word of God. It usually includes the entrance rite\, the lessons and gradual psalm\, the gospel\, the sermon\, the Nicene Creed\, the Prayers of the People\, the confession of sin and absolution\, and the Peace.\n\n\n\nThe second portion of the service is designated the Holy Communion. It includes the offertory\, the consecration of the bread and wine in the Great Thanksgiving\, the communion of the people\, and the concluding prayers of thanksgiving and dismissal. A blessing may be given prior to the dismissal.\n\n\n\n\nThe Eucharist is also called the Lord’s Supper\, Holy Communion\, the Divine Liturgy\, the Mass\, and the Great Offertory (BCP\, p. 859). \n\n\n\nThe Hymnal\n\n\n\nThe Hymnal 1982 includes a section with a variety of hymns for the Holy Eucharist (Numbers 300 through 347)\, including the following: \n\n\n\n\n“Come\, risen Lord\, and deign to be our guest” (305 and 306)\n\n\n\n“My God\, thy table now is spread” (321)\n\n\n\n“Now\, my tongue\, the mystery telling” (329 through 331)\n\n\n\n“I am the bread of life” (335)\n\n\n\n\n(Above taken from Eucharist .)

And the Lord God commanded the man\, “You may freely eat of every tree of the garden; but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat\, for in the day that you eat of it you shall die.” Now the serpent was more crafty than any other wild animal that the Lord God had made. He said to the woman\, “Did God say\, ‘You shall not eat from any tree in the garden’?” The woman said to the serpent\, “We may eat of the fruit of the trees in the garden; but God said\, ‘You shall not eat of the fruit of the tree that is in the middle of the garden\, nor shall you touch it\, or you shall die.’” But the serpent said to the woman\, “You will not die; for God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened\, and you will be like God\, knowing good and evil.” So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food\, and that it was a delight to the eyes\, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise\, she took of its fruit and ate; and she also gave some to her husband\, who was with her\, and he ate. Then the eyes of both were opened\, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made loincloths for themselves. \n\n\n\nPsalm 32 (BCP)\n\n\n\nBeati quorum \n\n\n\nHappy are they whose transgressions are forgiven\, *   and whose sin is put away!Happy are they to whom the Lord imputes no guilt\, *   and in whose spirit there is no guile!While I held my tongue\, my bones withered away\, *   because of my groaning all day long.For your hand was heavy upon me day and night; *   my moisture was dried up as in the heat of summer.Then I acknowledged my sin to you\, *   and did not conceal my guilt.I said\, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord.” *   Then you forgave me the guilt of my sin.Therefore all the faithful will make their prayers to you in time of trouble; *   when the great waters overflow\, they shall not reach them.You are my hiding-place;   you preserve me from trouble; *you surround me with shouts of deliverance.“I will instruct you and teach you in the way that you should go; *   I will guide you with my eye.Do not be like horse or mule\, which have no understanding; *   who must be fitted with bit and bridle\,   or else they will not stay near you.”Great are the tribulations of the wicked; *   but mercy embraces those who trust in the Lord.Be glad\, you righteous\, and rejoice in the Lord; *   shout for joy\, all who are true of heart. \n\n\n\nRomans 5:12-19 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nJust as sin came into the world through one man\, and death came through sin\, and so death spread to all because all have sinned—sin was indeed in the world before the law\, but sin is not reckoned when there is no law. Yet death exercised dominion from Adam to Moses\, even over those whose sins were not like the transgression of Adam\, who is a type of the one who was to come. But the free gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died through the one man’s trespass\, much more surely have the grace of God and the free gift in the grace of the one man\, Jesus Christ\, abounded for the many. And the free gift is not like the effect of the one man’s sin. For the judgment following one trespass brought condemnation\, but the free gift following many trespasses brings justification. If\, because of the one man’s trespass\, death exercised dominion through that one\, much more surely will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness exercise dominion in life through the one man\, Jesus Christ. Therefore just as one man’s trespass led to condemnation for all\, so one man’s act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all. For just as by the one man’s disobedience the many were made sinners\, so by the one man’s obedience the many will be made righteous. \n\n\n\nMatthew 4:1-11 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nAfter Jesus was baptized\, he was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. He fasted forty days and forty nights\, and afterwards he was famished. The tempter came and said to him\, “If you are the Son of God\, command these stones to become loaves of bread.” But he answered\, “It is written\, ‘One does not live by bread alone\, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’” Then the devil took him to the holy city and placed him on the pinnacle of the temple\, saying to him\, “If you are the Son of God\, throw yourself down; for it is written\, ‘He will command his angels concerning you\,’ and ‘On their hands they will bear you up\, so that you will not dash your foot against a stone.’” Jesus said to him\, “Again it is written\, ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’” Again\, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor; and he said to him\, “All these I will give you\, if you will fall down and worship me.” Jesus said to him\, “Away with you\, Satan! for it is written\, ‘Worship the Lord your God\, and serve only him.’” Then the devil left him\, and suddenly angels came and waited on him. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Old Testament\, New Testament and Gospel readings are from the New Revised Standard Version Bible: Anglicized Edition\, copyright 1989\, 1995\, Division of Christian Education of the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the United States of America.

Please contact Alcoholics Anonymous for more information. A.A. is not allied with any sect\, denomination\, politics\, organization or institution. \n\n\n\nWhat is Alcoholics Anonymous?\n\n\n\nAlcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of people who share their experience\, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism. \n\n\n\nThe only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking. There are no dues or fees for A.A. membership; we are self-supporting through our own contributions. A.A. is not allied with any sect\, denomination\, politics\, organization or institution; does not wish to engage in any controversy\, neither endorses nor opposes any causes. \n\n\n\nWhat A.A. does do: \n\n\n\n\nOur primary purpose is to stay sober and help other alcoholics to achieve sobriety.\n\n\n\nA.A. members share their experience with anyone seeking help with a drinking problem; they give person-to-person service or “sponsorship” to the alcoholic coming to A.A. from any source.\n\n\n\nThe A.A. program\, set forth in our Twelve Steps\, offers the alcoholic a way to develop a satisfying life without alcohol.\n\n\n\n\nThis program is discussed at A.A. group meetings. \n\n\n\n\nOpen speaker meetings — open to alcoholics and nonalcoholics. (Attendance at an open A.A. meeting is the best way to learn what A.A. is\, what it does\, and what it does not do.) At speaker meetings\, A.A. members “tell their stories.” They describe their experiences with alcohol\, how they came to A.A.\, and how their lives have changed as a result of Alcoholics Anonymous.\n\n\n\nOpen discussion meetings — one member speaks briefly about his or her drinking experience\, and then leads a discussion on A.A. recovery or any drinking-related problem anyone brings up. (Closed meetings are for A.A.s or anyone who may have a drinking problem.)\n\n\n\nClosed discussion meetings — conducted just as open discussions are\, but for alcoholics or prospective A.A.s only.\n\n\n\nStep meetings (usually closed) — discussion of one of the Twelve Steps.

We give ourselves a gift by allowing ourselves time to unburden from our sin and spend more time forgiven\, healed\, restored\, and renewed. \n\n\n\nWhat is Ash Wednesday?  \n\n\n\nAsh Wednesday is observed in several religious traditions. This is the beginning of Lent.  This year Ash Wednesday falls on February 18\, 2026. \n\n\n\nWhat is Lent? \n\n\n\nLent is a time for truth and reconciliation. On Ash Wednesday\, and throughout Lent\, we examine our lives truthfully and take ownership of the times we have fallen short of being our best selves. It is our faith that God understands and extends love\, forgiveness\, grace\, and healing that gives us the courage to admit our wrongdoing.

Amen. \n\n\n\nLessons\n\n\n\nLessons appointed for use for this day from the Revised Common Lectionary (Episcopal version). \n\n\n\nJoel 2:1-2\, 12-17 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nBlow the trumpet in Zion; sound the alarm on my holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble\, for the day of the Lord is coming\, it is near—a day of darkness and gloom\, a day of clouds and thick darkness! Like blackness spread upon the mountains a great and powerful army comes; their like has never been from of old\, nor will be again after them in ages to come. Yet even now\, says the Lord\, return to me with all your heart\, with fasting\, with weeping\, and with mourning; rend your hearts and not your clothing. Return to the Lord\, your God\, for he is gracious and merciful\, slow to anger\, and abounding in steadfast love\, and relents from punishing. Who knows whether he will not turn and relent\, and leave a blessing behind him\, a grain offering and a drink offering for the Lord\, your God? Blow the trumpet in Zion; sanctify a fast; call a solemn assembly; gather the people. Sanctify the congregation; assemble the aged; gather the children\, even infants at the breast. Let the bridegroom leave his room\, and the bride her canopy. Between the vestibule and the altar let the priests\, the ministers of the Lord\, weep. Let them say\, “Spare your people\, O Lord\, and do not make your heritage a mockery\, a byword among the nations. Why should it be said among the peoples\, ‘Where is their God?’” \n\n\n\nPsalm 103 (BCP)\n\n\n\nBenedic\, anima mea \n\n\n\n1            Bless the Lord\, O my soul\, *and all that is within me\, bless his holy Name. \n\n\n\n2            Bless the Lord\, O my soul\, *and forget not all his benefits. \n\n\n\n3            He forgives all your sins *and heals all your infirmities; \n\n\n\n4            He redeems your life from the grave *and crowns you with mercy and loving-kindness; \n\n\n\n5            He satisfies you with good things\, *and your youth is renewed like an eagle’s. \n\n\n\n6            The Lord executes righteousness *and judgment for all who are oppressed. \n\n\n\n7            He made his ways known to Moses *and his works to the children of Israel. \n\n\n\n8            The Lord is full of compassion and mercy\, *slow to anger and of great kindness. \n\n\n\n9            He will not always accuse us\, *nor will he keep his anger for ever. \n\n\n\n10          He has not dealt with us according to our sins\, *nor rewarded us according to our wickedness. \n\n\n\n11          For as the heavens are high above the earth\, *so is his mercy great upon those who fear him. \n\n\n\n12          As far as the east is from the west\, *so far has he removed our sins from us. \n\n\n\n13          As a father cares for his children\, *so does the Lord care for those who fear him. \n\n\n\n14          For he himself knows whereof we are made; *he remembers that we are but dust. \n\n\n\n15          Our days are like the grass; *we flourish like a flower of the field; \n\n\n\n16          When the wind goes over it\, it is gone\, *and its place shall know it no more. \n\n\n\n17          But the merciful goodness of the Lord endures for ever on those who fear him\, *and his righteousness on children’s children;  \n\n\n\n18          On those who keep his covenant *and remember his commandments and do them.  \n\n\n\n19          The Lord has set his throne in heaven\, *and his kingship has dominion over all.  \n\n\n\n20          Bless the Lord\, you angels of his\,you mighty ones who do his bidding\, *and hearken to the voice of his word.  \n\n\n\n21          Bless the Lord\, all you his hosts\, *you ministers of his who do his will.  \n\n\n\n22          Bless the Lord\, all you works of his\, in all places of his dominion; *bless the Lord\, O my soul. \n\n\n\n2 Corinthians 5:20b—6:10 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nWe entreat you on behalf of Christ\, be reconciled to God. For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin\, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. As we work together with him\, we urge you also not to accept the grace of God in vain. For he says\, “At an acceptable time I have listened to you\, and on a day of salvation I have helped you.” See\, now is the acceptable time; see\, now is the day of salvation! We are putting no obstacle in anyone’s way\, so that no fault may be found with our ministry\, but as servants of God we have commended ourselves in every way: through great endurance\, in afflictions\, hardships\, calamities\, beatings\, imprisonments\, riots\, labors\, sleepless nights\, hunger; by purity\, knowledge\, patience\, kindness\, holiness of spirit\, genuine love\, truthful speech\, and the power of God; with the weapons of righteousness for the right hand and for the left; in honor and dishonor\, in ill repute and good repute. We are treated as impostors\, and yet are true; as unknown\, and yet are well known; as dying\, and see—we are alive; as punished\, and yet not killed; as sorrowful\, yet always rejoicing; as poor\, yet making many rich; as having nothing\, and yet possessing everything. \n\n\n\nMatthew 6:1-6\, 16-21 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nJesus said\, “Beware of practicing your piety before others in order to be seen by them; for then you have no reward from your Father in heaven. So whenever you give alms\, do not sound a trumpet before you\, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets\, so that they may be praised by others. Truly I tell you\, they have received their reward. But when you give alms\, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing\, so that your alms may be done in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you. And whenever you pray\, do not be like the hypocrites; for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners\, so that they may be seen by others. Truly I tell you\, they have received their reward. But whenever you pray\, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you. And whenever you fast\, do not look dismal\, like the hypocrites\, for they disfigure their faces so as to show others that they are fasting. Truly I tell you\, they have received their reward. But when you fast\, put oil on your head and wash your face\, so that your fasting may be seen not by others but by your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you. Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth\, where moth and rust consume and where thieves break in and steal; but store up for yourselves treasures in heaven\, where neither moth nor rust consumes and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is\, there your heart will be also.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Old Testament\, New Testament and Gospel readings are from the New Revised Standard Version Bible: Anglicized Edition\, copyright 1989\, 1995\, Division of Christian Education of the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the United States of America.

Some call the day some variant of “Fat Tuesday\,” such as Mardi Gras. \n\n\n\nThe word shrove is a form of the English word shrive. It means to receive absolution for your sins by way of confession and doing penance. The name Shrove Tuesday is from the custom of Christians to be “shriven” before the start of Lent. \n\n\n\nDuring the liturgical season of Lent\, believers have historically abstained from rich foods such as meat\, eggs\, dairy products\, and alcohol. That meant using up those foods this day\, before Lent begins.

Please contact Cocaine Anonymous for more information. In the spirit of Tradition Six\, C.A. is not allied with any sect\, denomination\, politics\, organization or institution. \n\n\n\nMeeting type: \n\n\n\n\nMeditation: Practices vary\, but typically there is a brief period of meditation prior to any sharing. The meditation may be silent or accompanied by audio intended to help facilitate the practice. Lights may be turned off or dimmed during the meditation.\n\n\n\nCandlelight: The meeting is conducted partly or entirely by candlelight.\n\n\n\n\nAbout C.A.\n\n\n\nCocaine Anonymous is a Fellowship of men and women who share their experience\, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others recover from their addiction. \n\n\n\nThe best way to reach someone is to speak to them on a common level. The members of C.A. are all recovering addicts who maintain their individual sobriety by working with others. We come from various social\, ethnic\, economic and religious backgrounds\, but what we have in common is addiction. \n\n\n\nThe only requirement for membership is a desire to stop using cocaine and all other mind-altering substances. \n\n\n\nAnyone who wants to stop using cocaine and all other mind-altering substances (including alcohol and other drugs) is welcome. \n\n\n\nThere are no dues or fees for membership; we are fully self-supporting through our own contributions. \n\n\n\nWe do ask for voluntary contributions at meetings to cover expenses such as coffee\, rent\, literature and services to help those who are still suffering. However\, newcomers need not feel obligated to contribute. We do not accept donations from organizations or individuals outside the Fellowship. \n\n\n\nWe are not allied with any sect\, denomination\, politics\, organization or institution. \n\n\n\nIn order to maintain our integrity and avoid any possible complications\, we are not affiliated with any outside organization. Although C.A. is a spiritual program\, we do not align ourselves with any religion. Our members are free to define their spirituality as they see fit. Our individual members may have opinions of their own\, but C.A. as a whole has no opinion on outside issues. We are not affiliated with any rehabs\, recovery houses or hospitals\, but many do refer their patients to Cocaine Anonymous to maintain their sobriety. \n\n\n\nOur primary purpose is to stay free from cocaine and all other mind-altering substances and to help others achieve the same freedom. \n\n\n\nThe only purpose of Cocaine Anonymous is to offer recovery to individuals who are suffering from addiction. Our experience has shown that the most effective way to attain and maintain sobriety is to work with others suffering from the same malady. \n\n\n\nWe use the Twelve-Step recovery program because it has already been proven that the Twelve-Step recovery program works. \n\n\n\nCocaine Anonymous\n\n\n\nWelcome to Cocaine Anonymous . We are all here for the same reason—our inability to stop using cocaine and all other mind-altering substances. The first step towards solving any problem is admitting that there is a problem. \n\n\n\n12 steps of Cocaine Anonymous\n\n\n\n\nWe admitted we were powerless over cocaine and all other mind-altering substances—that our lives had become unmanageable.\n\n\n\nCame to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.\n\n\n\nMade a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.\n\n\n\nMade a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.\n\n\n\nAdmitted to God\, to ourselves\, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.\n\n\n\nWere entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.\n\n\n\nHumbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.\n\n\n\nMade a list of all persons we had harmed\, and became willing to make amends to them all.\n\n\n\nMade direct amends to such people wherever possible\, except when to do so would injure them or others.\n\n\n\nContinued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.\n\n\n\nSought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him\, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.\n\n\n\nHaving had a spiritual awakening as the result of these Steps\, we tried to carry this message to addicts\, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.

We look forward to seeing you at this 10:30 am service of Holy Eucharist at Church of the Redeemer. \n\n\n\nIt is in-person and on-line. The link to the service live cast is on the Welcome page of this website. \n\n\n\nAll are welcome to participate fully at Redeemer. \n\n\n\n\nAll races.\n\n\n\nAll religions.\n\n\n\nAll countries of origin.\n\n\n\nAll sexual orientations (including LGBTQ+).\n\n\n\nAll genders.\n\n\n\n\nEucharist\n\n\n\nThe Eucharist is the sacrament of Christ’s body and blood\, and the principal act of Christian worship. The term is from the Greek\, “thanksgiving.” The Episcopal Church invites all baptized Christians to receive communion. \n\n\n\nJesus instituted the Eucharist “on the night when he was betrayed.” At the Last Supper he shared the bread and cup of wine at a sacred meal with his disciples. He identified the bread with his body and the wine with his blood of the new covenant. Jesus commanded his disciples to “do this” in remembrance of him. See these passages in Scripture: \n\n\n\n\n1 Corinthians 11:23-26\n\n\n\nMark 14:22-25\n\n\n\nMatthew 26:26-29\n\n\n\nLuke 22:14-20\n\n\n\n\nThe Book of Common Prayer\n\n\n\nThe Eucharist makes Christ’s sacrifice present. This unites us to Christ’s one self-offering (Book of Common Prayer\, p. 859). The Last Supper provides the basis for the fourfold Eucharistic action of taking\, blessing\, breaking\, and sharing. Christ’s body and blood are really present in the sacrament of the Eucharist and received by faith. We also know Christ’s presence in the gathered eucharistic community. \n\n\n\nThe Book of Common Prayer entitles the whole service the Holy Eucharist. \n\n\n\n\nThe first part of the service is designated the Word of God. It usually includes the entrance rite\, the lessons and gradual psalm\, the gospel\, the sermon\, the Nicene Creed\, the Prayers of the People\, the confession of sin and absolution\, and the Peace.\n\n\n\nThe second portion of the service is designated the Holy Communion.

We look forward to seeing you at this 8:00 am Sunday service of Holy Eucharist at Church of the Redeemer. It is in-person only. \n\n\n\nAll are welcome to participate fully at Redeemer. \n\n\n\n\nAll races.\n\n\n\nAll religions.\n\n\n\nAll countries of origin.\n\n\n\nAll sexual orientations (including LGBTQ+).\n\n\n\nAll genders.\n\n\n\n\nEucharist\n\n\n\nThe Eucharist is the sacrament of Christ’s body and blood\, and the principal act of Christian worship. The term is from the Greek\, “thanksgiving.” The Episcopal Church invites all baptized Christians to receive communion. \n\n\n\nJesus instituted the Eucharist “on the night when he was betrayed.” At the Last Supper he shared the bread and cup of wine at a sacred meal with his disciples. He identified the bread with his body and the wine with his blood of the new covenant. Jesus commanded his disciples to “do this” in remembrance of him. See these passages in Scripture: \n\n\n\n\n1 Corinthians 11:23-26\n\n\n\nMark 14:22-25\n\n\n\nMatthew 26:26-29\n\n\n\nLuke 22:14-20\n\n\n\n\nThe Book of Common Prayer\n\n\n\nThe Eucharist makes Christ’s sacrifice present. This unites us to Christ’s one self-offering (Book of Common Prayer\, p. 859). The Last Supper provides the basis for the fourfold Eucharistic action of taking\, blessing\, breaking\, and sharing. Christ’s body and blood are really present in the sacrament of the Eucharist and received by faith. We also know Christ’s presence in the gathered eucharistic community. \n\n\n\nThe Book of Common Prayer entitles the whole service the Holy Eucharist. \n\n\n\n\nThe first part of the service is designated the Word of God. It usually includes the entrance rite\, the lessons and gradual psalm\, the gospel\, the sermon\, the Nicene Creed\, the Prayers of the People\, the confession of sin and absolution\, and the Peace.\n\n\n\nThe second portion of the service is designated the Holy Communion. It includes the offertory\, the consecration of the bread and wine in the Great Thanksgiving\, the communion of the people\, and the concluding prayers of thanksgiving and dismissal. A blessing may be given prior to the dismissal.\n\n\n\n\nThe Eucharist is also called the Lord’s Supper\, Holy Communion\, the Divine Liturgy\, the Mass\, and the Great Offertory (BCP\, p. 859). \n\n\n\nThe Hymnal\n\n\n\nThe Hymnal 1982 includes a section with a variety of hymns for the Holy Eucharist (Numbers 300 through 347)\, including the following: \n\n\n\n\n“Come\, risen Lord\, and deign to be our guest” (305 and 306)\n\n\n\n“My God\, thy table now is spread” (321)\n\n\n\n“Now\, my tongue\, the mystery telling” (329 through 331)\n\n\n\n“I am the bread of life” (335)\n\n\n\n\n(Above taken from Eucharist .)

To the elders he had said\, “Wait here for us\, until we come to you again; for Aaron and Hur are with you; whoever has a dispute may go to them.” Then Moses went up on the mountain\, and the cloud covered the mountain. The glory of the Lord settled on Mount Sinai\, and the cloud covered it for six days; on the seventh day he called to Moses out of the cloud. Now the appearance of the glory of the Lord was like a devouring fire on the top of the mountain in the sight of the people of Israel. Moses entered the cloud\, and went up on the mountain. Moses was on the mountain for forty days and forty nights. \n\n\n\nPsalm 2 (BCP)\n\n\n\nQuare fremuerunt gentes? \n\n\n\nWhy are the nations in an uproar? *   Why do the peoples mutter empty threats?Why do the kings of the earth rise up in revolt\,and the princes plot together\, *   against the Lord and against his Anointed?“Let us break their yoke\,” they say; *    “let us cast off their bonds from us.”He whose throne is in heaven is laughing; *   the Lord has them in derision.Then he speaks to them in his wrath\, *   and his rage fills them with terror.“I myself have set my king *   upon my holy hill of Zion.”Let me announce the decree of the Lord: *   he said to me\, “You are my Son;   this day have I begotten you.Ask of me\, and I will give you the nations for your inheritance *   and the ends of the earth for your possession.You shall crush them with an iron rod *   and shatter them like a piece of pottery.”And now\, you kings\, be wise; *   be warned\, you rulers of the earth.Submit to the Lord with fear\, *   and with trembling bow before him;Lest he be angry and you perish; *   for his wrath is quickly kindled.Happy are they all *   who take refuge in him! \n\n\n\n2 Peter 1:16-21 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nWe did not follow cleverly devised myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ\, but we had been eyewitnesses of his majesty. For he received honor and glory from God the Father when that voice was conveyed to him by the Majestic Glory\, saying\, “This is my Son\, my Beloved\, with whom I am well pleased.” We ourselves heard this voice come from heaven\, while we were with him on the holy mountain. So we have the prophetic message more fully confirmed. You will do well to be attentive to this as to a lamp shining in a dark place\, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts. First of all you must understand this\, that no prophecy of scripture is a matter of one’s own interpretation\, because no prophecy ever came by human will\, but men and women moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God. \n\n\n\nMatthew 17:1-9 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nSix days after Peter had acknowledged Jesus as the Christ\, the Son of the living God\, Jesus took with him Peter and James and his brother John and led them up a high mountain\, by themselves. And he was transfigured before them\, and his face shone like the sun\, and his clothes became dazzling white. Suddenly there appeared to them Moses and Elijah\, talking with him. Then Peter said to Jesus\, “Lord\, it is good for us to be here; if you wish\, I will make three dwellings here\, one for you\, one for Moses\, and one for Elijah.” While he was still speaking\, suddenly a bright cloud overshadowed them\, and from the cloud a voice said\, “This is my Son\, the Beloved; with him I am well pleased; listen to him!” When the disciples heard this\, they fell to the ground and were overcome by fear. But Jesus came and touched them\, saying\, “Get up and do not be afraid.” And when they looked up\, they saw no one except Jesus himself alone. As they were coming down the mountain\, Jesus ordered them\, “Tell no one about the vision until after the Son of Man has been raised from the dead.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Old Testament\, New Testament and Gospel readings are from the New Revised Standard Version Bible: Anglicized Edition\, copyright 1989\, 1995\, Division of Christian Education of the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the United States of America.
