First Step Home | The Episcopal Church of the Redeemer

First Step Home is an organization that helps women in recovery and leads them into a more productive life. We prepare and serve dinners four times a year at their location and engage with the women and their children during dinner and activities. Other opportunities include helping with the Christmas wreath and poinsettia sale in December. We also provide Christmas gifts for the women and children in their Santa Shop. A new venture is the Maternal Addictions Center which will begin this spring. Looking for parishioners interested in mentoring the women during their pregnancy and providing support during the delivery of their newborns. Training is available for this through First Step Home. The youth of our parish are encouraged to join our team and help in the daycare center as well as helping with the dinners. If you would like to volunteer at First Step Home, please contact Jeanne Plunkett.

WHAT WE BELIEVE

We love children, and children love Church of the Redeemer!

Children are at the heart of life at Church of the Redeemer. Children learn about the word of God through our Children's Christian Education programs; they are involved in worship services, they play music in our services, and they form lifelong friendships with each other through their experiences.

Flowers in our holy worship spaces are a beautiful gift to God and those who attend services at Church of the Redeemer as well as those being honored or remembered. A contribution to the Flower Fund is a meaningful way to honor or remember a loved one for special life events such as birthdays, anniversaries, baptisms, confirmations, thanksgivings, or in memory of a loved one.

The Church of the Redeemer is blessed to have received special gifts from parishioners who wanted Redeemer to have permanent savings to care for our facilities and to supplement our pledge income.

Such permanent savings are often called an “endowment.” The endowed funds are permanently set aside by donors or by the Vestry. Some of our donors have specified uses for their endowment gifts. A limited portion of the funds is distributed each year to supplement our general budget. All funds are invested with professional advice.
