Fellowship

Fellowship opportunities at the Redeemer include everything from coffee hour after the 10:00 service in the Parish Hall to small group dinners, parish picnics, and parties in parishioners' homes. Fellowship at the Redeemer relies on the creativity, hard work, and hospitality of many volunteers. The Fellowship Committee is always looking for ways to build up the Redeemer community and deepen parishioner bonds. 

Fellowship Events

Marking the Church Year

Lay Minister Barrie Rose Bliss and the Sunday School Committee partners with the Fellowship to host events and dinners each year for the whole parish family--every generation is invited!  We typically gather to learn about Feast days as well as  enjoy picnics, a rousing square dance, Chili Cook Off/Bingo night and Shrove Tuesday pancakes with games and prizes.

Other fellowship events

In Stitches, a gathering of individuals who bring various sewing, knitting and mending projects to talk and enjoy tea and homemade cookies.

Next Chapters, a group of retirees discussing next steps to remain fulfilled and active.

Faith through Fiction, a gathering to discuss in depth a short work of fiction or poetry. Again, with tea and homemade cookies as refreshment.

Newcomers

This is a committee of people who help integrate new members to the parish into our community.  Newcomers receive a welcome packet when they register with the church or through Sunday School and are especially invited to newcomer gatherings: Newcomer coffees with the clergy after the 10:00 service every other month, Fellowship Dinners, and Sunday Night Suppers.  These all provide a chance to get to know people and the parish.
