“All the King’s Men” Launches as Part of Growing Outreach 

Laughter filled the parish hall at The Church of Our Saviour the Redeemer on February 25 as men gathered for the first meeting of a new fellowship group, “All the King’s Men.” We were thrilled to have two of our relatively new parishioners among those attending.    

Around the breakfast table, the men shared stories of life’s challenges, career paths, and moments of joy. Conversation flowed easily, with laughter and honest reflection helping deepen connections beyond Sunday worship. One gentleman said that it was exactly what they had been looking for.  Before they left, they were each encouraged to bring their friends with them in March.   

“All The King’s Men” is the newest outreach initiative at Our Saviour the Redeemer.  We already have in place an outreach group called “Circle of Friends,” which meets on the first Wednesday of each month.   Participants at Circle of Friends enjoy a time of gathering and sharing over coffee, followed by a complimentary lunch and crafts.  We have also begun another new group called “The Chosen”.  Participants of “The Chosen” gather in the Whitcomb room and, in comfort, view an episode of “The Chosen” which depicts in a powerful and moving way the life of Jesus.  Following the viewing of an episode, participants gather in the parish hall to enjoy a complimentary lunch, discussion and trivia. 

Every Thursday at 1:30, we enjoy a session of “Biblical Conversations”.  Have you ever been puzzled about what Jesus was really saying to you through His parables and sayings? Are you looking for the answers to so many of the questions that you have been afraid to ask about Scripture?  Are you searching for a community of people who will love and support you?  Where there is no pressure to speak and just listening is welcomed and respected?  Where asking questions is encouraged and is received in a warm and accepting environment? All questions are valid and welcome.  Our rector is an amazing Christ-centred teacher.  Participants are encouraged to share their understanding of scripture with one another.  We are growing in numbers and have people from various denominations who have joined our group. 

We are thrilled to be reaching beyond the confines of our church walls to bring Jesus’ love to the community in which we are situated.   

As these ministries continue to grow, Our Saviour the Redeemer hopes to create spaces where faith can be explored openly, friendships can flourish, and newcomers can find belonging. All are warmly welcome.
