As Redeemer continues to grow, we want to make it easier for all of us to know one another, and especially for new people to feel that they have a place here.

Beginning this Sunday, Rally Day, we are introducing name tags for everyone who worships at Redeemer.

It's a small change, but we hope it will help us become an even more open, accessible, and welcoming community.

Where will I find my name tag?

Name tags will be on the boards on the left side of the narthex. They are magnet-backed, so you can simply pick yours up and wear it during worship. If yours doesn't have a magnet, the magnet will be in a bowl on the table in front of the boards.

What if I can't find my name tag?

No problem! If your name tag isn't there, your name is spelled incorrectly, or you would prefer to use a nickname, pick up a blank name tag from the table, write the name you'd like to use, and wear it during worship.

After worship, please return the name tag to the table. We'll have a permanent name tag ready for you next Sunday.

We hope this simple practice will help us learn each other's names, welcome newcomers more easily, and strengthen the sense of community that makes Redeemer such a special place.

We're glad you're here. See you Sunday!

"Jesus says, come to me little children."

These walls have stood witness to so many children learning exactly who they are in Christ. Before our renovation officially begins tomorrow, our church community stepped in to coat the children's wing in prayers for the future.

The physical walls might change, but the prayers remain the foundation! We would love for you to help us build the next chapter of our Children's Ministry. Come lend a hand during our Children’s Space Summer Workdays from 4–8 PM, dinner will be provided.

Feel free to stop by for all, or just some of the time slot! All ages welcome! No experience required.

Can’t make it tomorrow? Here are the upcoming workdays:

• Thursday, June 18th (tomorrow)
• Tuesday, June 23rd
• Monday, July 13th
• Wednesday, July 15th

George’s journey to Redeemer Episcopal Church began about twelve years ago, though in many ways, the story started much earlier.

As a child growing up near Boston, George attended Sunday School at an Episcopal church also called Redeemer. He jokes that his time there was cut short because he simply “couldn’t sit still,” something he now laughs about and credits with sending him toward tennis at the age of five. There was never any resentment toward the church, only a sense that the right moment had not yet come.

That moment arrived in his mid-60s.

Living nearby, George passed Redeemer here in Jacksonville on his way to work for years. One day, something shifted. “My need to connect with what church means had become a passionate need,” he says. “The more important thing was that I finally got there 100% ready.”

For George, faith had already been quietly unfolding beneath the surface for decades. He remembers his first real prayer as a young Marine in Vietnam, during a rocket attack, huddled in fear and crying out to God for safety. Years later, through meditation and spiritual searching, he experienced what he describes as a profound sense of God’s presence. That awakening eventually led him back to church and finally, to Redeemer.

Once he arrived, similar to his first experiences in church, George simply couldn’t sit still.

“I don’t join anything to be passive,” he says. “I join to do something… contribute in some way clearly important.”

That spirit quickly became part of Redeemer’s life. He supported the church’s connection with Cuba, helping raise funds and gather needed supplies. Later, when the idea of starting a food pantry surfaced in conversation, George helped move that vision forward. “We had a meeting,” he recalls, “and the rest is history.”

What George found at Redeemer was not only a church home, but a place where faith, learning, and service came together. He speaks warmly of the clergy who have guided the congregation and especially values the teaching and formation that continue to deepen his spiritual life.

For George, Redeemer became the answer to a longing that took many years to name, and a place where faith could become action.

“Sometimes it takes a long time,” he reflects. “But when you get there ready, it changes everything.”
