Sundays at Redeemer
Sunday mornings and evenings are the main times each week where we all gather together as a church family. We meet in smaller groups called growth groups in people's homes at other times in the week, and there are also regular midweek activities and monthly prayer meetings.
Absolutely everyone and anyone is welcome. We would love to see you whether you have been to a church before or not!
What happens on a Sunday?
Our service starts at 10:30am on a Sunday morning and at 6:30pm on a Sunday evening during school term-time, but most people arrive 5 to 10 minutes early to get settled and chat - this is a great time to catch up with people we know well and getting to know those we don't. In the more formal part of the service, we hear the bible preached, sing and pray together.
Most will stand to sing and sit to pray and listen to the sermon, but some will sit throughout. There isn't a dress code, but most choose to dress casually.
The morning service will usually finish between 11:45am and 12:00pm and is followed by tea and coffee and the evening service will usually finish by 7:30pm.
What do Redeemer Kids do during the service?
We have loads of kids at Redeemer and there are great programmes for different ages from birth to the end of high school at creche, Redeemer Kids and Redeemer Youth on a Sunday morning. They will play games, sing songs and most importantly, will learn about who Jesus is and why he's the best friend a kid can have! All kids workers are PVG certified for children's work.
KIDSWhat happens after the service?
After the morning service we have coffee and tea together again. If you're new, this is a great chance for us to get to know one another!
What about midweek?
Parking
If you are coming to an event at Redeemer church we encourage you to walk, cycle or use public transport. The church is very near the Water of Leith walkway (National Cycle Route 75), and is accessible by stairs or a track up from Spylaw park. The Lothian buses 400 and 45 buses stop just outside the church and the 10 and 16 buses stop in Colinton Road, a short distance away. There is room to park bikes within the triangular fenced off area just outside the church. There is very limited on-street parking near the church on Bridge Road. Please avoid Spylaw Street behind the church as it is usually very congested with parked cars. If you are driving you may find it easier to park on Gillespie Road across the bridge from the church. If coming by car please consider sharing with someone else.
