Youth in the program also participate in the life of the parish, organizing an annual Shrove Thursday pancake supper, helping at the annual Patriots Day breakfast and participating in the annual Christmas Party for the Grow Clinic.

The best way to get to know more about the church community is to worship with us.  Please join us for Sunday Services, stay for a cup of coffee afterwards, and explore what we are all about.  We think you’ll find that this is a warm, welcoming community where people feel supported and loved.

To join any of these activities just talk to anyone at Coffee Hour after worship, or email us at office@our-redeemer.net.
