This Sunday, July 5th, we are delighted to welcome The Rev. Joanna Leiserson as our guest preacher at Church of the Redeemer.
The Rev. Joanna Leiserson came to the Cincinnati area from the West Coast after her ordination in 2005 to serve as Canon for Christian Formation at Christ Church Cathedral. She served there for eight years until the arrival of the new Dean in 2013. Prior to ordination, Joanna earned degrees in political science and history, with a particular interest in nineteenth century Europe and Russia.
After being trained and certified as an intentional interim for the Church, Joanna served as Interim Rector at St. Anne Church, West Chester, then at Church of the Ascension in Middletown, Calvary Church in Cincinnati, Christ Church in Dayton, St. Barnabas in Montgomery, and most recently a second time at St. Anne. She also served as Interim Associate for Discipleship at Church of the Redeemer.
Joanna is a writer by passion. She loves the English language and the power it has to inspire and uplift. In this spirit, she wrote the children’s Church School curriculum, Weaving God’s Promises, and also a Lenten devotional book titled A Grown-Up Lent: When Giving Up Chocolate Is Not Enough.
Please join us in extending a warm Church of the Redeemer welcome to Rev. Joanna this Sunday!
