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.

Read the current Vestry notes here. Here is a note:  From Rev. Willie J. Smith 4.13.26 from Deacon Erik, My thoughts of transition at Redeemer_  Sunday Easter III Bulletin 4-19-26 

Sunday, April 26th, 12-2 PM: Earth Day Good News mini-fair right here in front of the church! Redeemer has long been an active part of the community. Redeemerites are invited to attend, and of course invited to participate in this outreach event, in some role. We need you! Let’s meet those walking by and invite them into some Earth-themed activities, tables, and church. Is there something you are passionate about related to Earth or environment and would like to share? You don’t need to be an expert, just have passion, be friendly, and willing to share a few things about it. Please contact Peg.

Please consider being involved on 4/26. We need:

  • Friendly Redeemerites to invite people on the property for (1 hour at a time; stand on the sidewalk out front)
  • A friendly but firm driveway guardian, for 1 hour at a time, just to keep things safe.
  • Some Redeemerites to be a welcoming ptesence in church for 1 hour at a time
  • Someone willing to give away indigenous seed packets
  • Do you know someone who does face painting or story telling?
  • Can you do a theatrical reading of something?
  • Can you share some music or art related to our theme of Earth caring? Lead a sing-a-long?
  • Would you like to help with a public art project?
  • Can you make a video of the fair to share with Redeemerites who live far away?
  • Help with set-up or break-down, before or after?
  • Have other ideas how you could engage those passing by?

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
