As temperatures drop, many of our neighbors are in urgent need of a warm, safe place to stay while government buildings are closed. This Monday, January 19th, Martin Luther King's holiday, we are opening our building to host a warming center. If you volunteered to donate food, please drop off your donations to the church on Sunday morning, or by 9:00a on the 19th.

good faith network’s “join or die” documentary and discussion
On Saturday, January 24th from 1–3:30pm, Redemption Church will host a screening of the Emmy‑nominated documentary Join or Die, followed by a discussion. The film traces America’s civic unraveling through the work of social scientist Robert Putnam, whose landmark Bowling Alone research explores the decline of community connection and its impact on democracy.
Featuring insights from leaders and scholars such as Priya Parker, Pete Buttigieg, Vivek Murthy, Jane McAlevey, Hillary Clinton, and Eddie Glaude Jr., the documentary examines three urgent questions: What makes democracy work, why is it in crisis, and what can we do to strengthen it?
