Dandelion Worship & Artist Retreat!

We are building community with artists who want to use the arts to share the grace of Jesus with those outside the church.  Of course, we want to bring healing and encouragement to those inside the church too.  But when you aim beyond yourselves, you end up doing both!

“Better than Wine” Conference Teaches Relationship-Saving Communication Skills

We hosted a one-day training in communication and listening skills that have greatly blessed us in our marriage and other relationships. We use them to do our pre-marriage counseling: we teach these skills to the couple and then facilitate their active listening on all the key topics.  We introduce these skills in our “Better than Wine: Building and Rebuilding Intimacy” Marriage conference.  Last weekend, we were hosted by our friends at Anglican Church of the Redeemer, Franklin, MA (thank you Rev. Dan and Lisa Sylvia!)  We dove in with a pilot group of couples.  It is our hope to bring this workshop and/or the entire marriage conference to you one day!

The Isaiah Project: a Collaborative Arts Experience at Redeemer Franklin

Early in 2024, Redeemer Franklin embarked on a year-long project to prepare for Advent, which became known as The Isaiah Project. The initiative was designed as a study of the book of Isaiah and included the development of artistic responses created by many of the artists and creators at Redeemer. From the beginning, the vision for the project was a collaborative effort that would produce music, visual arts, prose, and drama—all culminating in a mid-Advent celebration of the coming of Christmas.

Over 30 individuals contributed to the project, which developed throughout the spring and summer before blossoming into the final presentation in December. Musically, the project was spearheaded by Isaiah Sylvia, Music Director at Redeemer, along with the Redeemer band members and some guest collaborators. Together, they created a six-song EP, all self-written and composed.

Saint Nicholas House, which describes itself as a house of hospitality and prayer, joined the efforts by choosing to have a community gift drop box on the front porch of their Brookline, NH house.

Finding Peace in Anxious Times

“There is nothing new under the sun”. By the time the wise Teacher in Ecclesiastes wrote this truth 3,000 years ago, so many kingdoms and dynasties had risen and fallen. Wars had been fought, work efforts had flourished and petered out, famines and plenty had come and gone. Peoples and nations lived in anxious times and in peace, in oppression and in freedom. Most had toiled under the hot sun. And the conclusion of it all? The Teacher in Ecclesiastes says “Fear God and keep his commandments.”

In the anxious times which many of us are experiencing right now, we can ”fear God” and see what happens. We can bend the knees of our hearts in reverence and adoration before the majesty of our loving God.
