IHN Bookfair | The Episcopal Church of the Redeemer

Our Interfaith Hospitality Network (IHN) Team along with the Rev. Melanie W. J. Slane and the Rev. Mitchell Bojarski recently spent a Sunday afternoon cleaning out and organizing our undercroft space. The undercroft (basement) is a shared space between our IHN ministry and our Youth Group (as well as the Flower Guild and Archives). This work day involved getting rid of some old, broken toys and organizing the designated storage areas. A book corner for our youngest IHN guests was also created. As part of our ongoing Becoming Beloved Community journey, the steering committee has recommended a list of diverse and inclusive children's books to fill the shelves.

Would you like to help fill the shelves? From Sunday, July 28 through Sunday, August 11 there will be a display in the narthex of some of the books, along with a printed list of all the suggested books. You can purchase a book there, take the list and purchase one later (use this link to buy books online), or make a cash donation. Please make your checks payable to Church of the Redeemer with children's books in the memo line.

WHAT WE BELIEVE

We love children, and children love Church of the Redeemer!

Children are at the heart of life at Church of the Redeemer. Children learn about the word of God through our Children's Christian Education programs; they are involved in worship services, they play music in our services, and they form lifelong friendships with each other through their experiences.

Flowers in our holy worship spaces are a beautiful gift to God and those who attend services at Church of the Redeemer as well as those being honored or remembered. A contribution to the Flower Fund is a meaningful way to honor or remember a loved one for special life events such as birthdays, anniversaries, baptisms, confirmations, thanksgivings, or in memory of a loved one.

Donate

The Church of the Redeemer is blessed to have received special gifts from parishioners who wanted Redeemer to have permanent savings to care for our facilities and to supplement our pledge income.

Such permanent savings are often called an “endowment.” The endowed funds are permanently set aside by donors or by the Vestry. Some of our donors have specified uses for their endowment gifts. A limited portion of the funds is distributed each year to supplement our general budget. All funds are invested with professional advice.
