Worship Indoors or Online this morning
Join us for Worship indoors today. We ask that you wear a mask, regardless of vaccination status. This will allow more people to gather and allow us to sing together.
You can also watch it on Facebook or YouTube. Download the Liturgy.
Nursery
If it’s helpful to you we are offering nursery care for little ones — those able to sit up on their own through four years old — from the beginning of worship through The Peace. Our greeter can show you the way when you arrive.

Masks?
From the pandemic’s early days it’s been the policy of Redeemer’s Vestry to take seriously both local indoor masking regulations and CDC guidelines in our public worship. Growing disparity between these has lately caused some degree of confusion. Given the range of views and differing levels of comfort among the members of our community regarding masking—and because we want to encourage heartfelt singing in our worship services (a particularly potent means of virus transmission)—the Vestry decided at our February meeting to continue requiring masks during our Sunday morning morning worship for the next month, with the intention of revisiting the issue at our March meeting. To inform the Vestry’s consideration of this issue, we would greatly appreciate your input. Please click here to complete a very brief survey. Thank you!
Shrove Tuesday Dinner—Tuesday, March 1, 6:00 PM
The word shrove is a form of the archaic English word shrive, which means to obtain absolution for sin by way of confession, particularly before entering the penitential season of Lent. So, Shrove Tuesday (also called Mardi Gras, or Fat Tuesday) was named after the custom of English Christians emptying their larders of sweet and fatty foods and gathering to be “shriven” before the start of Lent.Anglicans observed it today by participating in confession and absolution, the ritual burning of last year’s Palm Sunday palms, AND eating pancakes and other sweet and fatty foods the day before Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent.
We’re going to join that long tradition Tuesday, March 1, 6:00 PM at Annapolis SDA. We’ll provide the pancakes, toppings, tableware, and drinks, but w'ell need some fruit, egg casseroles, and whatever other delights you’d like to share. Please sign up for what you’ll bring at this link.
Because of the nature of this gathering, masks will not be required.
Ash Wednesday Service—Wednesday, March 2, 7:00 PM
