HELP US TO SPREAD OUR

LOVE AND FAITH

"And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength. This is the first commandment. And the second, like it, is this: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. There is no commandment greater than these."

Mark 12:30-31

Worship Service Reminders

On August 9th 2020 our doors were re-opened again to public worship – Thanks be to God!

As we remain in our first stage of our re-opening plan there are a number of protocols that we feel are necessary in keeping everyone as safe as possible, while also reducing the risk of possibly having to close again.

As we continue to gather for worship at Redeemer, here are some of the changes we’ve instituted for your personal safety and peace of mind:

• Our sanctuary is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected before worship services

• Our common areas and washroom are cleaned after worship services

• Holy Communion is not be offered during service at this time

• We are not permitted to sing hymns or responsives due to the increased risk of airborne droplets

• A Greeter is stationed at the side door between 9:30 and 10:00 to admit parishioners. Entry to the church is not be allowed once service begins so please arrive on time. 

• Greeters will register and pre-screen parishioners’ health conditions as they arrive

• Facemasks are mandatory (in accordance to our Municipal Bylaw)

• Hand sanitizing stations are available and parishioners are expected to sanitize as they arrive

• Ushers will be escorting and seating parishioners to better control physical distancing. Ushers will seat you prior to the service from FRONT to BACK in the sanctuary

• We will be dismissing at the close of the service from BACK to FRONT.

• Collection plates will not be passed – they are at the sanctuary doors for you to place your tithe in as you exit.

• Parishioners are reminded to please refrain from direct, personal contact with others, especially as they exit from service and leave the church

Finally, we remind everyone who does not feel comfortable attending church to continue to watch for our recorded services as they become available during the week, either directly through our YouTube channel or through the link on our home page (below).

Be aware that our facilities and video equipment at Redeemer prevent us from being able to produce reliable ‘Livestream’ feeds. Our Sunday 10 AM services are being recorded ‘live’ but they are not available Sunday mornings online as it takes time to record, process and post. Thanks for your understanding. 

DONATE NOW

Please remember that your continued financial support is important so that we may keep our Church going during this pandemic. We realize that some of you may be facing financial hardship in the coming months, but if you can afford to continue giving, there’s a number of ways you can do so:

• You can sign up for the automatic giving program - please contact the Church office for details

• You can donate using Interac e-transfers.

• You can drop off your offering envelopes at the church, through our secure mail slot.

• You can mail your offerings to the church.

During this time of uncertainty, our greatest comfort is found in God’s Word. Even though we can’t ‘stay connected’ through our onsite Sunday Worship Services at Redeemer, we are working to find new ways so that we can draw closer to Him during these times. Please continue to support us with your time, talents and treasures as you are able.
