Vestry Notes
Vestry Notes (week of 12-15-2024)
Greetings fellow Redeemer Transformationists! Bishop Charleston’s words continue to ring in my ears… “Our vocation is to transform things. We transform fear into hope, anger into understanding, division into unity. We transform a broken world into a community of mutual respect. Whatever difficult situation we are given, we can transform it into something more positive. We are the Transformationists.”
Much in this world needs transforming so let us begin and continue where we can as you consider your pledge this year to share your strengths and gifts with Redeemer and the world.
Your help in cleaning and decorating the church for Christmas is needed as we prepare so please come if you can. It truly takes a village!
The Evening Prayer Group is doing what they can knowing how the lives of so many have been changed this year. On Friday evening, December 20th at 5:30 the intrepid band of prayer warriors who have faithfully gathered some 1200 times, will be offering a Longest Night service via zoom for anyone wanting to join in. This service will be a sharing of prayers, lighting of candles and a time to hold each other. The link will be included in the Epistle that will go out Monday, December 16th. Other options across the nation will also be included.
In peace and hope, from the Vestry
