What to expect

What should I expect if I come to worship?

At Redeemer Lutheran/ St George's Anglican you can expect a fairly easy-going congregation. But you will also notice that we are a more traditional congregation   Our pastor wears robes when leading the service. There are things that we read together as a congregation during our worship service. We have a few readings from different parts of the Bible, and our pastor preaches a sermon based on those readings. We sing traditional hymns. You . We will mostly have piano & violin leading the music.

 

We follow an order of service from one of our hymnals, but we also have a projection screen so that you don’t have to look in a book during the whole service. We celebrate Holy Communion each Sunday.   Anyone who is baptized is welcome to join us.

While we are 'traditional,' we are not very formal

Some people wear a suit, while others wear shorts and a t-shirt and bring their travel mug with them. You are free to come as you are.
Our worship service normally runs for about an hour, but you should plan on coming 15 or 20 minutes early so that you can join us for a coffee before the service. It’s nothing fancy, but you will get a chance to meet some of the people from our congregation.

 

There are a number of groups not affiliated with the congregation that use our space to meet during the week.  They include:    St. Mina and St. Antony Coptic Orthodox Church , the Brandon 18th Beavers, Cubs, and Scouts,, Girl Guides, Embers, Wheat City Alanon Family Group, and Brandon Orchestra.

What are the similarities between Lutheran and Anglican Churches?

We believe in the same things all Christian churches do – God, Jesus, Holy Spirit, and prayer.   We believe and rely on God’s grace. and we believe that we are unable to live that life without God leading us, giving us strength, and forgiving us when we fall short.
