Welcome to the Church of the Redeemer!
The Church of the Redeemer offers many opportunities for spiritual formation and education for adult parishioners.
Sunday Offerings
The first three Sundays of the month feature study and discussion, frequently extending over two or three Sundays, on different topics relating to spirituality. Please plan to join us in the Women's Council Room at 9 a.m. Child care is provided until Sunday School begins at 9:30.
On the fourth Sunday, we offer the Forum beginning after the 10 a.m. service. This is usually a large group presentation by an outside speaker or focusing on a particular topic. Please plan to join us in the Parish Hall. Activities for children are provided.
Every Sunday at 9 a.m. in the Cloister Room, Family of Faith meets. This is a small group Bible study that considers the week's Lectionary Gospel lesson using the African or Lambeth style of Bible study. It's not just for parents – the entire Redeemer family is invited.
Watch for the offerings published each week in the Worship bulletins and e-Redeemer newsletter and each month in the Chimes. We hope you will find the variety of speakers, topics, discussion groups and fellowship activities informative, lively, fun and, most of all, spiritually enriching.
Other Offerings
Opportunities for spiritual formation at Redeemer extend beyond the Sunday Adult Education hour. These include:
- the Rector's Bible Study, Mondays at 10 a.m. and 7 p.m.
- Clergy Bible Study, Thursdays at 9:30 a.m.
- Wednesdays during Lent, supper and program
Other programs are offered throughout the year. Past programs have included Disciples of Christ in Community, offered in conjunction with members of Faith Lutheran Church in East Baltimore; a workshop and classes on meditation and contemplative prayer; evening retreats for busy people and daylong workshops. Watch e-Redeemer and the Chimes newsletter for announcements about programs and activities at Redeemer and throughout the Diocese that might interest you.
Education for Ministry
Education for Ministry (EfM) is a program of education and spiritual formation offered through the School of Theology at the University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee, and presented in small groups around the country. Redeemer hosts an EfM group that meets weekly September through June. If you are looking for a structured curriculum of biblical and theological studies and theological reflection in a small seminar-style setting, please contact Anne Pidcock or Jeff Ayres or one of the members of the clergy.
Ministry Opportunity
If adult spiritual formation is your calling, if you have a program you would like to suggest or plan or offer, or if you are looking for a ministry at Redeemer, we would love to talk with you about your ideas or interest in joining our ministry. Please let any member of the Adult Education Committee or Redeemer's clergy know of your interest. We'd love to hear from you.
We look forward to seeing you at Adult Ed!
