Clergy Reflection

For several years, a small piece of calligraphy hung above the corner table in my dining room, in the little nook where I would sit each morning with my cup of coffee, easing myself into the day. To my left, I could gaze out the window, watching the trees sway in the breezes and the birds flit from branch to feeder and back again. To my right, I could read these words from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe:

“A [person] should hear a little music, read a little poetry, and see a fine picture every day of life, in order that worldly cares may not obliterate the sense of the beautiful which God has implanted in the human soul.”

That line became a kind of prayer for me. A daily reminder that beauty is not just decorative. It is essential. It is one of the ways God keeps our hearts open and alive.

Sunday, March 1, 11:15 a.m. in the chapel

Across the country, a growing movement of singers is resisting violence and despair by building solidarity and creating radically welcoming communities that take action through song. Singing together helps us process grief and fear, deepen our connections, and reclaim our collective power. Interested? Join fellow parishioners in the chapel this Sunday after the 10a.m. worship service to learn a few songs. No singing experience is necessary! Contact Anna Noon for more information.

Lent 2026

VOICES, the Redeemer Speaker Series, invites contemporary voices to challenge and inform us: they are artists and authors, visionaries and thought leaders, advocates of change courageous enough to hold the loveliness and sorrow of the world at once and find the wonder in both.

Please join us on Wednesday evenings in Lent for a simple bring-your-own brown bag supper at 6:00 p.m. in the parish hall. At 7:00 p.m. we will gather in the church as we learn from a dynamic line up of speakers each inviting us to hear their stories and find more meaning in ours.

Wednesday, March 4 : Tracy Radosevic, Biblical Storyteller

Biblical Storytelling: Ancient and Modern Practice

Dr. Tracy Radosevic, a Wesley Seminary graduate and adjunct professor, and dean of the Academy for Biblical Storytelling. For over two decades, she has served as a freelance educator and performer, leading international storytelling pilgrimages and specializing in an oral performance of the Gospel of Mark. Radosevic is dedicated to reclaiming the "pre-Gutenberg" oral tradition, helping students at St. Mary’s Ecumenical Institute and beyond discover how embodied scripture can transform modern ministry.

We will livestream the VOICES series here.

A video recording of last night's VOICES presentation by Dr. Heidi Schreiber-Pan is available here.

Wednesday Evenings in Lent, 6-8:30 p.m. in the Parish Hall

Labyrinths are ancient, sacred paths that have been used for meditation and spiritual transformation for centuries. Their single, winding route invites you to walk slowly, quiet the mind, relax the body, and renew the spirit. New to labyrinth walking? Stop by the table next to the labyrinth in the parish hall for a simple guide to get started.

Celebration of the Arts 2026!

Calling all artists! It's time to prepare for the eighth annual art show, which will run from Easter (April 5) through Pentecost (May 24). You are invited to help celebrate the 50 days of Eastertide by sharing works of art that evoke (broadly interpreted) themes of new life, resurrection, creation, or God's presence in our midst. Paintings, photography, weaving/quilts, collage, sculpture, and other visual arts are welcomed.  

The show is open to artists of ALL ages. Artists will have the option of marking their work for sale. In keeping with Redeemer's commitment to community partnership, it is suggested that 30% of the proceeds from the sale of the art be donated to the Govans Elementary School for the purchase of art supplies. 

There are specific guidelines for all art being submitted. Click here for the guidelines.  Artwork will be collected at the church on Friday, 3/27 and Sunday, 3/29. The final delivery deadline for all art is noon on Palm Sunday, March 29. Contact Lucy Sarris or Leigh Lowe with any questions.

Wednesday mornings @ 8:00 a.m. in the chapel. Join Cristina Paglinauan for Embodied Eucharist which invites gentle stretching, mindful breathing, guided meditation or centering prayer followed by a simple Eucharist. Yoga mats are welcome but are not required.

First Wednesdays of the month @ 12 noon in the chapel. Join Keith Johnson for a Healing Eucharist. This service includes Holy Communion and prayers for healing, offering space to bring before God the needs of body, mind, and spirit, as we seek God’s grace and wholeness.

Thursday mornings @ 8 a.m. in the chapel. Join Josh Laws for an Ignatian Eucharist in the chapel. Ignatian Prayer is a centuries-old approach to spirituality that seeks to weave together the stories of our scriptures, the experiences of our lives, and the God who is present throughout it all. This Eucharist will invite us to practice imaginative prayer, each week entering into one story from the Bible and letting Spirit bring it to life.

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."
