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.

Christmas News

Christmas flowers & music: Each year YOU determine how much we can beautify our sanctuary at Christmas. Your gift makes the greenery, flowers, and musicians possible! You may honor a loved one who has died or make a gift in Thanksgiving for a living friend, relative, etc. Here’s the online link to give. Envelopes will be in the church on Sunday. Click on this PDF if you would like to fill out a form bring it on Sunday or mail it in. Any contribution is appreciated. Place the completed form or envelope in the offering plate on Sunday or bring it to the church office by Sunday, December 17th Please print clearly on the form. Any questions, contact Sandra at the office.

Christmas Staff Gift Each year we like to say thank you to our staff by putting something extra in their Christmas stocking. Can you help with a gift for them? The link for this is here.

From the Justice Team. The Sock Market is BACK!!

Winter is coming again and so is the Sock Market! We’re expecting a record-breaking surge in the Sock Market this winter, but we need your help to make it happen! It’s getting cold and inflation hasn’t gone anywhere, but let’s keep it at bay by creating warmth! Once again, Redeemer will be collecting fresh new socks for our friends served by Spring Street Community Development Corporation here in Morristown. You may already be familiar with them through our work with Table of Hope. We are looking for socks for people of all ages. Feel free to either fill up the sock boxes at Redeemer on Sundays through December 17 or contact Jody Caldwell if you would rather mail your socks to her. Watch and wait for updates on the Sock Market through the season of Advent. This surge starts with you! Want another way to give? Check out Spring Street CDC’s Amazon Wish List. Thank you!

Welcome!

Rev. Cynthia Black
The Rev. Cynthia Black, D.D., Rector

Welcome to Redeemer! We are not just a building in the community– we are building 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,
Cynthia Black
