All Are Welcome

Newcomers and Visitors are expected. At St. Paul & the Redeemer we welcome orthodox believers and skeptics, people of all races and cultures, people of all classes, abilities, and sexual orientations.

While we impose on no one the necessity of changing to be part of our worship and community life, we offer a variety of opportunities for growth and transformation through hospitality and fellowship, worship, study, and service to the larger community.

Coming Up at SPR

Peter Lane Begins as Rector

Peter Lane begins as Rector this week, and his first Sunday will be this Sunday, February 14. Come welcome him on this momentous day.

Shrove Sunday

This Sunday, February 14, we get in a last bit of indulgence before Lent with a delicious waffle breakfast after the 9:15 and 11:15 liturgies -- with Mardis Gras surprises. We also celebrate Peter Lane's first Sunday as our new Rector.

Ash Wednesday

Liturgies on Ash Wednesday, February 17, are at 7:30 a.m., 12:00 noon, and 7:30 p.m. A special children's liturgy will also be held at 5:00 p.m. Ash Wednesday is the first day of Lent, our 40-day journey of preparation for Holy Week and Easter.

Adult Inquirers Class

Peter Lane invites you to explore Christian belief with a supportive group on Tuesday nights in Lent, 7:30 - 9:00. The class can serve as preparation for those who desire baptism, confirmation, or reafffirmation of their baptismal vows at the Easter Vigil on April 3. To reserve your spot, email Peter.

Winter Park

Winter Park gathers on Fridays at 9:30 a.m. Winter Park is an opportunity for all parents and caregivers in the neighborhood to bring their kids to play in our spacious Parish Hall. For more info, contact Michelle Dassinger.
