Healthy Church - Updates

D-19 Protocols Update: Church of the Redeemer continues to monitor the overall health conditions in our area. We have also reviewed the new guidance for individuals from the CDC, which measures COVID-19 Community levels designed to help communities and individuals make decisions based on their local context and their unique needs. More on this can be found here.

Given these guidelines, after consultation with our CARE Team, we will follow the following protocols for our community effective immediately:

  • When our COVID-19 Community Level is High, we will require all individuals entering the church building to mask and remain masked while inside the building. There will also be no exceptions for eating and drinking.
  • When our COVID-19 Community Level is Medium, we recommend all individuals entering the church building mask and remain masked while inside the building.
  • When our COVID-19 Community Level is Low, people may choose to mask at any time, but are not required to do so.

While all of us will have different comfort levels with this change, we remind everyone to show grace to those who choose to remain masked. We also encourage each family to make a plan which feels best for them within these protocols.

It is important to note that our ability to move in this direction also includes the excellent ventilation we have in our building and the mandatory vaccine policy we have for employees. These mitigating factors help us provide the safest environment for all.

Our intention is to continue to monitor the situation. We remind you all that these COVID-19 Community Levels are expected to fluctuate, which will mean mask requirements will as well. Should you wish to follow the status of our Community Levels, click here.

As always, we thank you for demonstrating Christian love and care and helping to provide for the health and safety of every person.

What to do if you are sick

Quarantine and Isolation

Where to get a PCR test - CVS

Where to get a PCR test - Walgreens

Where to get a test - Hamilton County sponsored sites

As with all infectious diseases, we encourage you all to follow these practices to help avoid the spread of disease:

  • Wear a mask.
  • Practice physical distancing (6 feet).
  • Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
  • If you have symptoms such as fever, upset stomach, or frequent coughing or sneezing, please stay home and seek medical attention if symptoms warrant. Should you or a family member feel the need for testing, here is a helpful link to find a site near you.

Please continue to pray for healing and peace during this time.

O God of peace, who has taught us that in returning and rest we shall be saved, in quietness and in confidence shall be our strength: By the might of your Spirit lift us, we pray, to your presence, where we may be still and know that you are God; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. - Book of Common Prayer, page 832.

Welcome Children Service Times Membership Contact Us

Welcome to Church of the Redeemer! We invite and welcome ALL to join us in worship and community. In addition to worship, we have a vibrant music community, a fun and welcoming community for children and youth, plus offerings for everyone from young adults to seniors, covering many varied interests.

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.

LEARN MORE

On Sundays we have an 8:00 am Holy Eucharist, Rite I service, a 9:00 am Holy Eucharist, Rite II service (which is also livestreamed), an 11:00 am Banquet Eucharist service and a 5:00 pm Celtic Eucharist service.

On Tuesdays and Thursdays, we offer Morning Prayer on our Online Worship Podcast.

On Wednesdays, we offer Holy Eucharist, Rite II at 6:00 pm in the Chapel.

Make a Donation Altar Flowers Endowment Fund Commitment 2023 Planned Giving

Thank you for supporting the mission and ministry of Church of the Redeemer!

To give a one time gift, click the button below. To make a financial commitment for 2023, use the Commitment 2023 tab above.

Donate

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.

Donate

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.

What about your connection to Redeemer changes the way you live in this world? Your financial commitment is a response to the work that God is doing with you here. It is a practical way to ensure that others are able to experience the relationships of holy connection and communion that are shaping your life.

For 2023, we ask that you make your commitment through regular scheduled electronic giving, if possible. Whether it be weekly or annually, giving electronically is a safe and sustainable way to ensure your continued financial support.

MAKE YOUR COMMITMENT NOW

Your planned legacy gift to the Church of the Redeemer is a practical way for you to empower generations to come. It is a powerful witness of faith, love, and gratitude. This type of gift recognizes the heritage left by those who came before us and acknowledges that we bear a responsibility to the future faithful - to insure the continuation of God’s work within and beyond Church of the Redeemer.
