This year, we have a great opportunity to be present to our neighbors at University House, a retirement community in Wallingford. Alex and Katie meet weekly with a group of friends in a book study group there, and we’re delighted to bring them some joy in the Christmas season by singing Christmas carols! We’ve done this for several years now and always enjoy the time.

We’ll gather on December 21st from 6-7pm. We’d love to see you there!

Join us this year for our Hermeneutics class, where we explore the art of interpreting Scripture. We’ll generally meet after church on the first and third Sundays of each month. Whether you're just getting into a pattern of reading your Bible or are just looking to deepen your understanding, all are welcome!

Childcare will be provided.

Remaining dates for 2025:
- December 7

No need to RSVP. Feel free to join us any week you can! And, if you’d like to catch up with some of the content from earlier classes, you can review class recordings and notes here.

We’re beginning the search for someone to lead and steward the Redemption Kid’s Ministry. The role is scoped as a part-time role, but there is some flexibility in the time commitment.

Check out the job description, and let us know if you’d like to start a conversation.

Join us for a memorable evening of connection, delicious desserts, and festive drinks as we celebrate this beautiful season together.

We’ll also spend time preparing Christmas gifts and handwritten notes for the women at UGM’s Hope Place, sharing God’s love in a tangible way. The night will also include worship and reflection as we look back upon the year with gratitude and look ahead towards 2026 with hope. We’d love to have you with us!

When: December 9th at 7 pm

Where: Redemption Church Office

Please RSVP HERE and bring a friend to join us!

Small groups offer a great opportunity to dive into a book that you’ve been interested in reading, or organize a series of dinners where you can get to know folks better. You can also join a long-term group focused on being known and formed as a community for a longer season.

You can learn more here.
