The Church Year

Anchoring our worship life as a whole is the Church Year, an ancient spiritual pattern based on the story of Jesus’ incarnation, death, and resurrection. The flavor and tone of things at Redeemer varies dramatically along with the seasons: Advent, Christmas, Epiphany, Lent, Easter, Pentecost, Trinity Sunday, and the Ordinary Time of summer and fall.

This rhythm is highly visible on Sundays, but it also means our year is punctuated by a few other high Holy Days as well: Christmas Eve, The Feast of Epiphany, All Saints’ Day, Ash Wednesday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, Ascension Day. We encourage everyone to join us as we draw near to God, marking time according to the Gospel.
