Upcoming events at Redeemer

  • The Solemn Liturgy of Maundy Thursday

    Thursday, April 2, 7:30pm

    Church nave

    Join us on Maundy Thursday to mark the beginning of the Triduum, the three holy days that culminate with the celebration of Easter. Maundy comes from the Latin “mandatum,” or mandate (also com-“mand”-ment), recalling the mandate that Jesus gives his followers in every generation: “love one another as I have loved you.” 

    The service commemorates the washing of the disciples' feet by Jesus as a model of self-giving love. After washing the disciple’s feet, Jesus celebrated the Passover Meal with them, instituting the sacrament of the Eucharist. The liturgy begins with a festal character as we remember the joy of the institution of the Eucharist and the love and service which Jesus lived and taught. The mood then turns solemn as we fix our attention on the agony in the garden of Gethsemane and the journey to the cross and crucifixion. The altar, symbolic of Christ, is stripped of all adornment and left bare, preparing us for the stark solemnity of Good Friday.

  • Good Friday service

    Friday, April 3, 7:30pm

    Church nave

    Join us on Good Friday, we commemorate Christ’s Passion as told in the Gospel of John: his betrayal, trial, crucifixion, and burial. The liturgy of Good Friday is the second service of the Triduum, the three holy days leading up to Easter.

    The tone of the service is somber and worship space looks bare, with all adornment having been stripped at the conclusion of the previous day’s Maundy Thursday service. There is no celebration of the Holy Eucharist at this service; instead we pray the Solemn Collects. In prayers and songs of lament, we pray for the state of the whole world. The service ends without a dismissal, as Jesus’ crucifixion is incomplete without commemorating the resurrection.

  • Easter Sunday: The Feast of the Lord's Resurrection

    Sunday, April 5, 10:30am

    Church nave

    Join with us in celebrating the event that defines our Church: the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, fulfilling the scriptural foretelling of the Messiah. Our festive service is accompanied by transcendent music, including Mozart's Missa Brevis No.1 in G Major, K. 49 with full string orchestra.

    The word "Easter'' likely comes from an old English word related to dawn and shining. Like spring itself, Easter brings the promise of new life and refers not only to a single day, but to a whole season of celebration called Eastertide.

    We hope that the coming Easter season will be one of newness and light for you and for those close to you. May we stand in light of the resurrection, transformed by the grace and glory of God, and see new creation, both in ourselves and around us.

Selected past events at Redeemer

  • Ash Wednesday service with Imposition of Ashes

    Wednesday, February 18, 7:30pm

    Church nave

    Our Ash Wednesday service is a chance to reflect and enter the sacred season of Lent together. The season spans 40 days and remembers the time Jesus spent in the wilderness before beginning his public ministry. It is a period of preparation, self-examination, and repentance in preparation for the Easter Feast.

    The imposition of ashes is an ancient sign of repentance and serves as a reminder of our mortality. Recalling God's words to Adam, “You are dust, and to dust you shall return,” we are marked with ashes on our foreheads, just as we were sealed with the cross at Baptism, a visible sign that we are marked as Christ’s own forever.

  • Information session on Redeemer’s community campaign: Love your neighbor, Abolish medical debt in Montgomery County, MD

    Sunday, February 22, noon

    Parish hall

    Jesus said, “For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.” (Matthew 25:34)

    In 2026, Jesus might add, “I was burdened by medical bills I could not pay, and you relieved me.” 

    On Sunday, February 22, please stay for coffee hour after church for an information session on Redeemer’s community campaign to buy and cancel medical debt. Working with a nonprofit organization called Undue Medical Debt, we hope to raise $15,000, which will enable us to pay off more than $1.8 million of debt.

    For more information and to make a donation, please click here. Additionally, contributions can be made by check to Redeemer (put “Love your neighbor” on the memo line).
