Worship Leadership
8 AM Eucharist: this small community between 8 and 12 people gathers at the front of the church in the chancel for the Eucharist using the BAS. This said liturgy offers time for silence and quiet - a nice way to begin the day. On the first Sunday of each month, we offer laying on of hands for those who wish to receive this ministry.

9:30 AM Eucharist: a vibrant nursery, children's and youth program, music leadership that spans a variety of genres and instruments, inspiring preaching, creative liturgy and the congregation gathering around the altar for communion are hallmarks of the 9:30 AM service. The BAS is used. The hymn book Gather and other musical resources are used for this service. Average attendance is approximately 160.

11:15 AM Eucharist: the choral leadership (25 voices), organ and piano accompaniment, inspiring preaching and stirring celebrations of high festivals are the features of the 11:15 AM service. The Common Praise hymnal is used most often at this service. Average attendance is approximately 160.

7:00 PM Evensong, Bach Vespers, Rock Eucharists and Taizé: Sunday evenings we offer a wide range of liturgical offerings. Evensong is the basis for many Sunday evenings but the format and style of music can range from Bach Vespers to Global Song. About once a month we have a Rock Eucharist usually featuring the music of one artist or group - from U2 to Coldplay to Johnny Cash. On the fourth and fifth Sundays of the month we offer a candle-lit Taizé service.

Monthly Parish Cycle of Prayer
The May parish cycle of prayer is available online.
We are blessed by the many members of our parish who offer their time and talent in worship leadership. To help guide you in your role as greeter, lector, chancel guild member, intercessor, server or communion minister at any of our worship services, we have developed handbooks that give you a sense of what the role entails and answers to questions you may have. This is by no means the only way we do things at Church of the Redeemer – just the usual way.
We will strive to keep these documents as up-to-date as we can. Things may change for a liturgical season, and you will be informed of any changes as they affect you. The Worship Leadership Handbook contains everything in one spot; and if you click on each leadership area you will find the one for that specific group – Greeters, Lectors Guild, Chancel Guild, Prayers of the People, Servers Guild, and Communion Ministers.
If you are interested in becoming involved with one these worship leadership areas, please speak to one of the clergy.
