Heavenly Father, giver of life and health: Comfort and relieve your sick servants, and give your power of healing to those who minister to their needs, that those for whom our prayers are offered may be strengthened in their weakness and have confidence in your loving care; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God,
now and forever.
Amen.

Altar Flower Dedications
Sponsoring our Sunday altar flowers is a great way to celebrate a birthday or anniversary, remember a loved one who has passed, or mark any other special occasion. The suggested donation is $20 per arrangement, which offsets the cost of the flowers provided by Leary's Florist. If you wish to sponsor the flowers, please submit your name and preferred wording of the dedication to
[email protected] or in a note placed in the offering plate.

Gift of Angels
There are expenses that pop up that are not included in our annual operating budget, and this program covers those.
Your gift to the Gift of Angels program can be in the form of a monetary donation or a gift-in-kind and can be made in thanksgiving or in memory of someone. It can cover all or part of an item on the wish list. All gifts are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. You will receive recognition of your gift, and all gifts are recorded in our Book of Memorials and Gifts.
The Wish List currently includes: weed control supplies, new chairs for the Parish Hall, and landscaping upgrades around the building and in the field adjoining the upper parking lot.
Please make checks payable to Church of the Redeemer and designate Gift of Angels or your specific designation on the memo line.
Your consideration of support for this campaign is greatly appreciated!
