Our purpose is to worship God in the beauty of holiness, to teach the faith in such a way that we may be empowered to serve our Lord in this world, and bring others into the fellowship of the Body of Christ. Established AD 1888, Church of the Redeemer is in the National Register of Historic Places. An Anglo-Catholic congregation in Woodfin, within the Diocese of Western North Carolina, we are dedicated to maintaining the Anglican traditions that have formed our worship over the ages.
We welcome all baptized Christians to receive Holy Communion at the altar of God. If you are visiting for the first time, we welcome you to the Episcopal Church. Please make yourself known to Father Hanks.
Quoted from Forward Day-by-Day
1 John 5:1-6. Everyone who loves the parent loves the child. On this very special day honoring mothers, the mothering spirit, and the feminine attributes of God, we are also called to remember to love children. I come from a matriarchal culture where women guide, nurture, teach, and love the whole community. We are parents to children, friends, and neighbors in the most routine ways. The age of the person does not matter. Sometimes a child needs a friend. Some- times an adult needs discipline and guidance. Sometimes our parents go back to being children and we assume the role of parent to them, attending to their every need. This is a model passed on to our children. We want them to know that as they develop and learn they will someday be doing the teaching and leading. In this over-scheduled, over-achieving, over-stimulated world, I can’t help but wonder what is being modeled for our children and how they know they are loved, so that they will someday also be able to share that love with others. |

We also need cleaning supplies, including bleach and Brasso. If we each give a small amount, our whole gift will be enough to keep our coffee pots filled for our Sundays together and keep our church and parish hall sparkling clean.
