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

How many raffle tickets have you sold? We have some great prizes to give on the day of our auction. At Noon, we will give away a $500 Visa gift card; at 1 PM, the gold Krugerrand pendant will be awarded; and at 2 PM, the $1,000 BP gift card will be awarded. Please turn your money and tickets in to Ron Baldwin as soon as possible.

It is only three weeks away!!! Our auction, lunch & raffle will be held on Saturday, July 12th at the fireman's training center on Erwin Hills Road. To have a successful auction, we not only need items to be sold but folks to buy them. If we all take an active part, both in finding good sellable items and getting people to attend, the auction will be a great success. We have the potential to make several thousand dollars with this fund raiser, but we need your help! Invite your friends and neighbors to come!!!!!!!!!!

We are still missing a crucifix that was on the wall downstairs in the Parish Hall. It is a Greek Orthodox style crucifix that was given in memory of Ruby Baldwin (which was written on the back). This crucifix was going to placed above the bulletin boards in the Parish Hall. If you have seen this crucifix, or know its whereabouts, please let Father Hanks know

We celebrate with Gary McHaley in the birth of his grandson, Bennet Edward Nixon, born June 11th, weighing 8 lb. 6 oz. to Gary's daughter April and her husband.

The flowers on the altar today are given by Ellie Ownbey to the Glory of God and in thanksgiving for the birthday of Nathan Ownbey. If you want to give the flowers on the altar for any Sunday, please sign the list in the Parish Hall.
