Vocare Day: Called To Work, Created to Flourish, Oct. 11th
As Christians, we believe that your work - whatever you are called to do in your current season - matters. Vocation is not simply what you do for a paycheck, but rather it is work that God has called us all into, and we are created to flourish in.
"Vocare" is Latin for "to call". God has called Christians as a whole to many things, but each individual also has a particular calling and piece of God's kingdom that they are meant to help build.
Vocare Day: Called to Work, Created to Flourish is a half-day event on January 31st, 8am-1pm, designed to explore exactly what it means to be a good and faithful witnesses in our work. You’ll hear from a variety of speakers and participate in breakout groups. We’ll also have vocational classes for children and youth.
Newcomers Dinner, January 17th
Bishop Alan Hawkins and his wife Angela Kaye, along with several of our staff, are excited to host an evening cookout at their home on Saturday, January 17th for new folks from our church! The Newcomers Dinner is open to anyone who considers themselves new to Church of the Redeemer--whether you've visited a few times or been coming for a few months. BBQ, buns, and drinks will be provided, as well as games for kids (or adults). We are asking everyone to bring a side or dessert to share.
Please RSVP at the link below!
Stephen Ministry Interest Meeting, January 13th
We are starting a new cohort of Stephen Minsters in February. Stephen Ministers are lay congregation members who are trained and commissioned to provide one-to-one caring ministry to people in our congregation (or, sometimes, on a case-by-case basis, the broader community) who are experiencing life difficulties. New Stephen Ministers will go through a period of extensive training from February to April. If you are interested in learning more, you’re invited to attend the virtual interest meeting on Tuesday, January 13th at 6:30pm. If you have any questions, you can reach out to our Stephen Ministry leaders: Rev. Zach Croonquist, Rev. Ashley Davis, Kathy Beal, or Jeff Ungetheim.
Redeemer to Rwanda 2026
Join us on our next annual visit to Rwanda!
Every year we visit our ministry partners and our sister parish in the Diocese of Gahini to strengthen and further develop our partnership.
During these visits, we meet with, pray for, and learn from fellow church members and clergy in the community. Sometimes we’ll assist with pastors’ conferences, work with and visit parish schools, or assist in the community in other ways. We also learn about the painful history of the Rwandan Genocide, contemplate reconciliation, and meet with others to dream about how we can all use our gifts to help each other.
There are currently two trips planned for 2026: April 24-May 6 with the Greensboro Fellows, and a family-friendly trip July 6-18th. We'd love to have you join them! If you have any questions, email Ben & Cherie Weber at weberworld08@gmail.com.
Volunteer in Redeemer Kids!
We love our Redeemer kiddos & you don’t have to look too hard on any given Sunday to see we have LOTS of them (with more to come)! It takes many hands to care for and disciple our littlest saints. There is a current urgent need for additional hands in Redeemer Kids, specifically on the Nursery and Children’s Check-in team. If you’re interested in volunteering, sign up below to fill out the application, or reach out to Anna Lynch if you have any questions.
