A Redeemer for the Light of the World

 

If you have not yet made your pledge for 2008, please do so at your earliest convenience so that the Vestry may set the budget for the coming year.  You may either mail in your pledge card or call the Financial Office (617-566-7679, ext. 12).  Many thanks for your prayerful consideration.

 

 

Family Mission Trip to New Orleans

 I am delighted to report that the family mission trip to New Orleans is full!  (We will be starting a waiting list).  The Redeemer really has a heart for mission, and I am excited by the energy around the trip.  We will have a few preparation meetings designed to get to know our St. Stephen’s partners and learn more about New Orleans post-Katrina.  Missioners are also encouraged to help with the mission support events in the coming months.  Thank you all for your dedication and willingness to support mission work at the Redeemer.

 

Gulf Coast Bash at the Undercroft Jazz Hall

 

On Friday, May 2nd there will be the party of the year at the Undercroft Jazz Hall.  The day promises great music, southern style food and cocktails, a silent auction, and lots of fun.  There are even rumors of an appearance by the Redeemer Blues Brothers.  This event will support the Redeemer/St. Stephen’s mission trip to Resurrection House in New Orleans.  Our missionaries will be helping a needy family rebuild their home in New Orleans.  The money raised at this event will help fund scholarships for the mission trip. 

 

 

Jazz Hall Silent Auction

 

The New Orleans’ Mission Committee is looking for donations for a silent auction to take place at the Gulf Coast Bash at the Undercroft Jazz Hall on May 2nd.  There are no items that are too big or too small.  Donations in the past have ranged from vacation packages and dinners to Hawaiian Shirts.  If you would like to support the mission trip in this way, please contact Marc Eames: 617-566-7679. 

 

 

Friday, May 2, 2008, 6:30pm 

Join us for a festive evening of fellowship, music, food and fun featuring a silent auction and raffle for the benefit of scholarships for the upcoming New Orleans mission trip to assist Resurrection House in rebuilding a home for victims of Hurricane Katrina.

Your help preparing for this fundraiser is needed! Contribute to the silent auction; make a basket for the raffle; help us work to make this party a memorable event by offering the gift of your time.  Please contact Marc Eames at meames@redeemerchestnuthill.org to ask what you might be able to do.
 

 
 

 

 All Parish Fellowship Tea

Featuring comments and reflections by Nina Moriarty

on Raphael’s The Disputà

 Sunday, April 27th

 4:00pm – 5:00pm

 Please join us in the parish hall as we enjoy tea and this opportunity to reflect on Raphael’s The Disputà with Nina Moriarty who is a member of our parish and Professor of Art History at Babson College.  She will discuss this painting in connection to the celebration of the Eucharist.  Evensong will be held immediately following the tea at 5:00pm.

 Background on the painting:

The Disputà, also called The Disputation over the Sacrament, is a depiction of theology as one of the four branches of learning represented on the walls of the Stanza della Segnatura, the private papal library, in the Vatican palace.   The fresco was painted c. 1509-1511 by Raphael (Raffaello Santi), one of the stars of Italian Renaissance painting
