Clergy Reflection
This past Sunday afternoon, a large group of joyful families and friends gathered together in the Cathedral of the Incarnation to celebrate an outpouring of the Spirit as over 50 individuals were either received as Episcopalians or confirmed and sealed with the Holy Spirit. The cathedral was completely full. People were literally spilling out over pews while others stood in the side aisles or pulled out folding chairs. Excitement, anticipation and a bit of nervousness filled the air.
There were also giggles in the air, maybe even especially emanating from the Redeemer section as our seven young people being confirmed and three adults being received were surrounded by over 40 family members, friends and fellow parishioners who had come to support and celebrate with them. This was a joyful celebration and I think we all knew it.

2026 Stewardship
O God, grant us wisdom and courage for this day: a discipline that helps us become the people we aspire to be, the strength to overcome the obstacles we encounter or create, a path to navigate local and national tension. The Spirit at Redeemer sustains us, and our pledge expresses palpable thanks: “I am your disciple Lord, and I commit to bring healing through my steps. I stand in solidarity with this community of faith, and I will serve God alongside them.”
A commitment of a pledge says "Yes. We're all in! We belong here."
