Announcements as of Sept 17:

Our Annual Parish Meeting is on Sunday, September 27, beginning at noon in the Parish Hall. We’ll hear reports from the Treasurer, the Senior Warden, and the Rector on the state of our parish, be presented with the budget for Fiscal Year 2027, and elect Vestry officers and at-large members. Please remember to fill out the Annual Membership Registration Form. This will allow you to vote and enable us to establish a quorum in accordance with our bylaws. (Please fill out a separate form for each member of the family.)

Membership: The By-Laws of Christ the Redeemer Anglican Church require that a Register of Members be kept (Art. I & Art. IV.B). Such a register is also required to fulfill the Annual Congregational Reporting requirements of the Anglican Church in North America (Cn. 6, Sect. 8). Please remember to fill out the Annual Membership Registration Form.

Fall Adult Sunday School: Come for a Survey of the Bible at 9:00 am Sundays in the Parish Hall. The Bible tells the story of the world, all the way from its beginning to its end. But if you don’t understand the larger story arch, making sense of individual Bible passages can be difficult. The goal of this class is to enable the average parishioner to pick up their Bible, read any passage, and have a sense of how it fits into the story of salvation. Attendees will receive a page of notes at the end of every class, detailing the major themes and an outline of each book of the Bible for their personal reference.

Our Newcomers Class continues to meet weekly on Wednesday evenings beginning at 6:30 pm in the Level 2 Atrium. All are welcome to join, even if starting late. The class is especially appropriate for any wanting to learn more about the church or Anglicanism, and for anyone seeking baptism or confirmation.

Meal Delivery Team: Calling all cooks! The meal delivery ministry blesses members of our parish family when life is especially challenging, be it with a new baby, managing a medical diagnosis, or dealing with any unexpected disturbance. If you’re interested in taking part, please contact Jillian Woodstock at jillian.woodstock@gmail.com. Meal calendar sign ups will be sent out, which is typically no more than once or twice a month. 

The Trial of Archbishop Wood concluded Friday, September 11, 2026, following five days of testimony from 38 witnesses.

The absolute last day the Court may release an opinion is December 21, 2026. Please continue to keep the province, the court, and all involved in your prayers.
