Our New Sound System: We give thanks to God for all of your monetary gifts, including major contributions from Christian Curtis, the Chittams, Scott Curtis and a half dozen others.

Restored Stained Glass: Our windows, dedicated to the memory of Charles and Christopher Dalton, have been meticulously restored and cleaned by Sunsmith Stained Glassworks.
Food Ministry: Our gratitude for, and God’s blessing on, all who are remembering this important ministry by donating non-perishable foods! Simply bring food and leave it by the offering box at the back of the church. We’ll take care of the rest.
Our Coffee Hour Coffee: The fair trade coffee we serve at Coffee Hour supports three transitional men’s homes our diocese operates in New York. There’s a new donation box on the coffee table. When we buy the coffee a large portion of our purchase price goes to support the three homes...however, any donations to the box go exclusively to direct support of the men.
“Welcome to Holy Redeemer” Cards: Are available in packs of 5, 10 and 15 in the Parish Hall (downstairs). Please consider taking a pack of cards...keep them in your car’s glove box, your purse, backpack, or briefcase...ask the Holy Spirit to guide you in handing them to friends, family, co-workers, neighbors or anyone who needs Jesus Christ or solid Christian fellowship. Thank you!
