Regathering Plan | The Episcopal Church of the Redeemer

Gathering at the Episcopal Church
of the Redeemer
COVID-19 Response Plan

As we transition to in-person gathering in our church building, the Church of the Redeemer leadership and staff continue to look to several sources for assistance. First, we are led by our Bishop, following the diocesan guidelines for this time. Likewise, we remain attentive to and grateful for the requirements and recommendations outlined by our state authorities.

In addition to the guidelines from the diocese and the state, our leadership and staff have developed a framework for regathering. This framework is based on information gathered from the Data Collection Team's survey, consultation from our CARE (COVID Advisory and Response Experts) Team and recommendations from our Online Worship Team. The plan is shared below and will require us all to keep current on the latest information on local conditions.

Make yourself familiar with the plan and keep an eye on this page for an up-to-date assessment of our current phase. Should you have any questions, please contact Emily von Allmen, Senior Warden or Jeff Brokamp, Junior Warden.

We are currently in Phase 1a of our Worship Regathering Phases.

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.

And we are interested in and want to meet our neighbors! Feel free to come by and introduce yourself to us anytime.

The Rev. Philip DeVaul, Rector

We love children, and children love Redeemer!

Children are at the heart of life at 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.

On Sundays we have a livestream 9:00 am Traditional Rite II Liturgy of the Word service. We occasionally, weather permitting, also have Pop-Up Church in Ault Park at 9:00 am and 11:00 am. (Registration is required.)

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

On Wednesdays, we offer a Daily Devotion for Early Evening on our Worship Podcast.

The community of the Episcopal Church of the Redeemer welcomes you! We are glad that you have chosen to explore your faith here and hope that this document can answer some of the questions you may have about Church of the Redeemer. We seek to be an open, inviting community. Our invitation to you is to join us as we grow in faith and reach out in love to others. At Church of the Redeemer we are always seeking to know Jesus and grow in love. We hope that in whatever ministries you undertake will strengthen your relationship with him through your ministry and fellowship here.

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.

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 2021, 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.
