A Space for Everyone

We were the first church in the state of New Jersey (in 1940) to host an AA meeting and are proud to have been blessing and marrying LGBTQ+ couples since 1991. But it doesn’t stop there! We have weekly Sunday worship, various activities and groups to join, and year-round community events.

This Sunday, November 9th— Holocaust and Genocide Remembrance Sunday
 “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”
George Santayana, 1905.
To work to stop current atrocities, and to prevent future genocides, we must first remember past Holocausts and understand the enormity of both their immediate impact and their ongoing consequences. In creating Holocaust Remembrance Sunday, we sought to gain the inspiration, the understanding, and the will to work for the prevention of such horrors in our own time. Although the focus is on a specific tragedy, we believe the lessons are much larger.

Help feed the hungry!

With the uncertainty surrounding SNAP and WIC funding, local food banks are getting hit hard by increasing demand.  You can help!  The Justice Team is sponsoring  a pre-Thanksgiving call for monetary donations to the Interfaith Food Pantry of Morristown.  Please contribute to this vital service by going to the Redeemer Give page (https://bit.ly/InterfaithPantry), and donate to the Interfaith Food Pantry.  We will be collecting your gifts through 11/23.

Thank you!


The Book Group meets online at 7 pm

Welcome!

The Church of Redeemer with its sign and colorful flags out front on a clear sunny day.
All are welcome!

Welcome to Redeemer! We are not just a building in the community– we are a community! We gather online and in person for worship, in person to participate in activities like our Garden of Hope food security ministry or helping clean up the Whippany River, and online for lively book discussions and forward-looking racial and ethnic reconciliation work. I would love to welcome you at any of these things, and hear what you are looking for.

Yours in faith,
The Church of the Redeemer
