Church of the Redeemer
RENSSELAER – Sunday services November 1 are at 8:00 and 9:30 with coffee hour in the Hearth Room between and after services. While services are at the same time, this is the week we turn the clocks back so it will feel like an earlier hour. As this is All Saints Day, join us as we remember those we love who have entered eternal life. Please pray for the residents of Van Rensselaer Manor that COVID 19 is contained and more residents are not infected.
Diocesan guidelines of wearing face masks which cover both the nose and the mouth, using hand sanitizer, and social distancing are followed at all church activities. There is a sanitizing station as you enter the Church with face masks if you do not have your own. The church is marked 6 ft. intervals to aid in social distancing. Communion is by host only.
Our Wednesday Hot Mess Crafters meets at 10:00. Join us as we learn from each other how to create for gifting and donating.
The Church of the Redeemer is located on CDTA bus route #214 at the corner of Third and Catherine Streets. There is handicap parking, a ramp in front, and a parking lot in the rear.
