Clergy Reflection

When I was a little girl, my family hosted two women from the Philippines who were touring the U.S. as part of a choir. They stayed for only a few days, but I grew fond of them very quickly.

On the dresser sat a tiny, brown kitten figurine left behind for me as a gift, which I kept for many years.

Adult Forum Series in April

“Resurrection” is not just a one-time event that happened in Palestine two millennia ago: it is happening all the time, all around us, in the course of our daily lives, even and especially amidst our heartbreak and suffering, loss and grief. For three Sundays in the season of Easter, at 11:30 a.m. in the south transept, we will hear stories of Resurrection, told by individuals from within our own Redeemer community, who have walked through the valley of the shadow of death, loss and grief, and emerged on the other side, a new creation, broken open to reveal God’s liberating, life-giving Presence.

Sunday April 14 - Our rector, David Ware will talk about his recent sabbatical.

Sunday, April 21 - Karen McGee will share her journey of grief and loss related to cancer, and the new life she is now experiencing as a writer.
