Church of the Redeemer

Established AD 1888, Church of the Redeemer is in the National Register of Historic Places. An Anglo-Catholic congregation in Woodfin, within the Diocese of Western North Carolina, our purpose is to worship God in the beauty of holiness, to teach the faith in such a way that we may be empowered to serve our Lord in this world, and bring others into the fellowship of the Body of Christ. We are dedicated to maintaining the Anglican traditions that have formed our worship over the ages.

We welcome all baptized Christians to receive Holy Communion at the altar of God. If you are visiting for the first time, we welcome you to the Episcopal Church. Please make yourself known to Father Hanks.

We are what we are
because of what we have been.

Announcements

The Rector's Corner

Congratulations to Britney and Bryan DeHart, proud parents of the newest member of the Redeemer family, Criseyde Skye DeHart, born on June 23rd and weighing in at 6 lbs. 9 oz. Britney is the daughter of Keith and Tonda Lunsford. Best wishes to the proud parents and grandparents.

As a reminder, regularly scheduled Vestry meetings will be suspended for the summer and will resume in September. If anything of urgency arises, it will be addressed on an ad hoc basis.

A chart is posted in the Parish Hall for interested members to sign up for the St. Martha's Guild to help clean the Parish Hall. It is felt that the Parish Hall will only need cleaning once a month. If we could get 12 folks to volunteer for this important service to the church and our Lord, once a year service is all that would be required of each.

Just a quick reminder that confirmation classes will begin Sunday, July 19th, at 9:30 AM and will continue each Sunday until the visitation of Bishop Taylor on August 23rd• We will cover the history, theology, and worship of our Episcopal Church during our 30-40 minute sessions. The confirmation classes are offered to anyone wishing to be confirmed, for those wishing to reaffirm their faith, or for those who simply want to know more about the Episcopal Church. All are welcome! The classes will be held in my office; let me know as soon as possible if you plan to attend.
