Ministries

The ministries of the Church of the Redeemer serve our parish and our neighbors in Mattituck and beyond.

There is a ministry for everyone!

Altar Guild

To set God’s table is an amazing ministry. Our Altar Guild prepares the altar and elements for the next service, as well as preparing the church for high holy days. If you love to work behind the scenes, this is the perfect ministry.

Choir / Choral Anthem Project

We love to sing at Redeemer! If you would like to be a part of our choir, we practice at 10:15 AM every Sunday morning. Join us!

Greeters

Our greeters welcome parishioners and visitors to Redeemer Sunday mornings. They are the smile that starts off our worship and are there for anything you may need. If you enjoy meeting new people and brightening the day of others, consider joining our ushering team.

Chalice Bearers

Our Chalice Bearers serve along with Fr. Joslin during our service. They help with preparation of the feast of the Eucharist and during Communion. Training can happen at your convenience; just ask Fr. Joslin for a time to meet.

Hospitality Guild

Our Hospitality Guild extends a helping hand to our visitors and parishioners, assisting with any questions someone may have or offering a warm welcome during Coffee Hour. This is a great ministry to do with a friend, as a team.

Lectors

To proclaim the weekly lessons to our congregation is an important part of our Sunday services. The readings for the next Sunday are in our weekly news, so there is time to familiarize yourself with the readings. If you enjoy speaking in public and would like to take a supportive role as we celebrate the Eucharist, please let us know.

Vestry

Our Vestry meets once a month to plan events and new ideas for Redeemer liturgically, spiritually, and financially. This is a great group of people discussing ideas to keep the wheels of the church in motion. If you would like to be a part of the vestry, please email Fr. Joslin for more information.

Building and Garden Guild

Redeemer is a beautiful house of God inside and out. Gardens have been created, extended, and tended by generations of parishioners. Like any home, there is occasional maintenance that needs to be done. If you are handy or love to garden, please let us know.

Stewardship Committee

Our Stewardship Committee meets with Fr. Joslin to develop a plan to set financial goals for the upcoming year and brainstorm ideas on how to achieve that goal. Committee members work as a team to reach out to our Redeemer family.

Coffee Hour

Fellowship is very important to Redeemer parishioners. We love to catch up with each other after the service.

Little Food Pantry

Our community food pantry is located on the Westphalia Ave. side of the church. It is open 24/7. Take if you need. Leave if you can. That simple.

Art In The Garden

Local artists supporting local causes. Our annual Art Show, Sale, and Salon happens in September. With the generosity of many local artists, this fundraiser generates funds that are donated to local outreach in our community. If you are an artist who would like to be involved, contact the church office for details.

Common Ground

Neighbors helping neighbors: that is what happens in the Common Ground garden. Fresh produce is grown for our neighbors in need. Stop by and see us at Treibor Farms, located at 38320 County Road 48, Peconic. If you love to garden, stop in and say hi and see what is growing in our garden.

John’s Place

Feeding those less fortunate in our community is John’s Place at Mattituck Presbyterian Church. Redeemer hosts the first Thursday of the month from November to April. There are many ways to be a part of this ministry: food items can be dropped off at Redeemer during the week or at Mattituck Presbyterian that afternoon. Julia Dantes, Patricia Feiler, and Barbara Wasilausky chair this committee.

Laundry Love

The Laundry Love initiative offers support to people who are struggling financially by assisting them with their laundry costs, so they can redirect their funds toward food, gas, or basic necessities. We meet the 1st Sunday of the month at the Mattituck Laundry after our 11:00 service

Chair Yoga

Chair Yoga and Meditation, led by Darren Mignone, Mondays at 5:00 PM in the Undercroft. Come stretch your mind, body, and soul in fellowship with friends. Bring a towel and a bottle of water.

EFM (Education for Ministry)

EFM meets Tuesdays at 1:00 PM in the Undercroft. For more information, contact Darren at gratefulyogi66@optonline.net.
