Community
Summer Home "Communions" - Wednesday evenings through August
Redeemer has a long tradition of having worship in people's homes during the
summer. It offers a chance to worship less formally, and in small groups, with
time for fellowship. This summer we will have communions, as well as Evening
Prayer, Compline, and Night Prayers. We will gather on Wednesdays from June 24
through August 19. We’ll meet at 6pm if there is a potluck, or at 7pm if we are
gathering just for worship. Even if you cannot come for the potluck, you are
always welcome to come for worship and to bring guests.
Upcoming summer home
worships:
- July 1. - July 8. - July 15. -July 22. -July 29.
-August 5. -August 12. - August 19.

What are Rainbow Ribbons about?
You may have noticed people, including clergy, wearing rainbow ribbons
around Redeemer recently and wondered why. Rainbow ribbons symbolize that we
recognize and celebrate the diversity of gifts of ALL God's people, no matter
what their age, skin color, country of origin, sexual orientation, etc. If you
would like to know more, ask someone who is wearing one. If you would like a
ribbon to wear, you can find them in a basket near the side door the sanctuary
Mission
Food Pantry: The June food item of the month is 15 oz. cans of
whole-kernel corn
Uniformity is crucial to ensure every guest gets a fair
portion! Supporting the Lexington Interfaith Food Pantry is even more
important in these difficult economic times. The monthly food item is
one of the twelve basic nutritious foods that the Food Pantry provides
to every family it serves. Please put your donations in the bin located
in the stairwell of the side entrance. Items must be in good condition
and not beyond the expiration date.
