Focus on Fairfield

This Saturday morning, Redeemer will be taking part in a community event called Focus on Fairfield. Restoration Academy hosts this event quarterly, with the assistance of several other local organizations and churches, including CityWorks, Christ Episcopal Church, and Church of the Reconciler. Here is a breakdown of all the info about this day:

-Projects that Redeemer will assist with will largely be landscaping/gardening/yard work, as well as painting. However, there are several other possibilities including demolition, minor construction, and working on abandoned houses. NOTE: No construction or work experience is necessary, just come ready to serve! Also, there will be family-friendly work opportunities, so bring the kids too!

-We will be interacting directly with many Fairfield locals, which gives us a unique "foot in the door" to begin relationships that we hope, as a church body, to continue longterm

-We will also have the opportunity to interact and grow with students, teachers, and faculty of Restoration Academy

-Following the workday, Restoration Academy will have a very affordable lunch for everyone to purchase, which will go a long way in supporting the school. Restoration Academy is also playing against the #1 seed in the state a very important basketball game at 1:00 that we highly encourage anyone who can, to stick around for!

-In summary, this will be great for our church in several ways:
-kick-off our involvement in Fairfield with this introduction to the area and our partners there
-the opportunity to begin lasting relationships with Restoration Academy and neighborhood individuals
-good church-wide event
-good for community groups to serve together

-Important Info:
-THE DAY STARTS AT 7:30, not 8 as we had previously announced. Please try to be there at 7:30 if possible! The work will last til around 11:30, with lunch and basketball game to follow
-Meet at Church of the Reconciler--located next to Restoration Academy and Fairfield Park (at the corner of Gary Ave. and North Plaza )
-Dress in work appropriate clothes
-If anyone has any gardening tools or painting supplies PLEASE bring them!

We are SO excited about this opportunity and hope to see many people from Redeemer come out to actively live out the Gospel in Fairfield!
