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. In addition to the guidelines from the diocese and state, our leadership and staff have developed a framework for regathering. This framework is based on data gathered from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and local health authorities (Hamilton County Board of Health and Cincinnati Board of Health) as well as consultation with our CARE (COVID Advisory and Response Experts) Team.

This addition of data from the CDC and local health departments provides us with the most current numbers on our local status and more accurately reflects the trends in our community. This information, along with a well-thought-out plan from our Worship Regathering Team, will guide us as we demonstrate Christian love and care and provide for the health and safety of every person. 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 pleased to report that new cases are at a low enough level now, likely thanks to increasing availability and uptake of vaccinations, that we in Hamilton County are now in the Yellow or Moderate Level of community transmission according to the most recent CDC data.

We are currently in Phase 3 of our Worship Regathering Phases.

WLSU: What About Now

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.

The Rev. Philip DeVaul, Rector

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.

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.

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.

To give a one time gift, click the button below. To make a financial commitment for 2025, use the Commitment 2025 tab above.

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 2025, 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.
