Prayer is an important part of the spiritual vitality within our
Redeemer family. A team of intercessors gathers daily at 8:30 AM
Morning Prayer and 5:15 PM Evening prayer to pray for our parish, using the Daily Office found in the Book of Common Prayer.
Throughout the year every member of the parish is prayed for by
name at one of these services, and we pray for specific needs of
parishioners. We invite you to become part of this meaningful
ministry. Commitment is one Morning or Evening prayer weekly.
Training will be arranged at a time convenient for you. If you
would like to participate in this ministry, please call Father
Marsden, 955.4263, or Don Laronge, 371.6863.
