The Redeemer Spirit: July/August The latest issue of the parish newsletter is available on the Parish Newsletter page. Redeemer welcomes The Rev. Robin K. Gulick On July 1, we welcomed The Rev. Robin K. Gulick as our new (and, we believe, Redeemer's first ever) Assistant to the Rector. Robin was ordained a transitional deacon at Washington National Cathedral on June 14; she will be ordained to the priesthood in January 2009. Her primary responsibility, along with liturgical leadership and pastoral care, is ministry with youth. She serves half-time at Redeemer and half-time at Virginia Theological Seminary at the Center for Anglican Communion Studies. Her schedule at Redeemer is Tuesday, 1:00-5:00 p.m., Wednesday, 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m., and Sunday. Robin is as enthusiastic about this new ministry as we are and looks forward to getting to know Redeemer's young people, families, and other parishioners with a heart for youth - soon. Please contact Robin this summer to make a date for coffee or ice cream! Sign up in the parish hall, email her at revrobingulick@verizon.net, or call 301-229-3770, ext. 22. Parish Wish List The Vestry has developed and approved a Wish List for The Church of the Redeemer. If you have any questions or wish to make a gift, please contact Angela Beckman in the parish office at 301-229-3770 or office.redeemer@verizon.net
WELCOME FROM THE RECTOR
Our worship on Sundays and during the week is the heart of our life together. We worship in a sanctuary filled with light, beauty and an openness that reflects the openness of this community. Here our hearts are truly lifted to the Lord. Our worship life comprises a wide variety of services, quiet and contemplative, as well as lively and joyous. We have a rich and growing ministry of music, ably supported by a new pipe organ, dedicated in October 2007. We aim to proclaim the Gospel not only in word and worship, but also in our common life and our daily lives. There are opportunities here for Christian formation for adults and young persons, and a wide variety of opportunities to live out our Christian values and faith in service to others. |

Welcome to The Church of the Redeemer, a lively Episcopal parish of people of all ages and backgrounds. We value diversity and welcome all people who seek God or a deeper knowledge of God to join us on Sundays and during the week, and become part of our community of faith. Redeemer celebrates the mystery of life and faith, and helps its parishioners to explore it. We do not presume to have set answers to all the questions of life or faith, but we are open to the Spirit, and have a deep trust in a God who is good - all the time.
