Welcome Friends

2017 Season - Welcome Letter

Blessing of the Bay & Boats

2016 Schedule

June 5, 2016

Dear Congregation and Friends of the Church of the Redeemer,

        On behalf of the Board of Trustees of the Church of the Redeemer, we hope that this letter finds all of our congregation, friends and neighbors in good health and spirits.

        Sunday, June 19, 2016 marks Father’s Day and our opening services:  8:30 and 10:00 am.  This season the bells will ring the welcoming call to Sunday services.

        We have a very excellent visiting priest schedule this season: Rev. Paul Jeanes (Princeton) - June 19 and 26;  Rev. John Baker (Alexandria, VA) - July 3 and 10;  Rev. Tim Gavin - July 17 and 24; Rev. Edward Gleason (Naples Florida) - July 31; Rev. Bill Lewellis (Bethlehem, PA) - August 7 and 14; Rev. Henry Hudson (New Orleans) - August 21, 28 and September 4.

        This season, we invited Bishop Chip Stokes to consecrate our new bells and we hope that his very busy summer schedule will allow it.

        Rev. Edward Gleeson will preside at the inaugural Blessing of the Fleet on the rocks.  Boats will be blessed as they motor or sail by and the bells will ring out the glory of God.

        Rev. Bill Lewellis will once again preside at the Blessing of the Animals which brings many of our four-legged friends to the Redeemer.

        A post-fire marriage ceremony will take place July 23 and the bells will sing out the Wedding Peal as the newly-married couple greet all those in attendance.

        The Bell Fund is still open for gifts so please see Annie Martin if you wish to make a donation.  Also, see Annie should you wish to purchase at cost ($10.00) a distinctive Redeemer hat which has an embroidered image of the center of the Lavino Hall rose window.

        Blessings to all and hope to see you on Father’s Day.

        

Peace,

Thomas J. Subranni

Chair Board of Trustees
