We want our website to be more than just information. We are not interested in a website full of static 'stuff!' We want to create a place packed with dynamic and interesting content - a site you might want to revisit regularly.
We want our website to be an extension of our vision and values - a place of community, conversation, creativity and interaction. The Collective is the place for that. It's here that you will find contributions from many different people, including those who are part of the Redeemer Community and, from time to time, some special guests. You will find things that made us think, laugh, cry, hope, and be challenged. It's a section that will keep on growing - so just keep on scrolling and watch more articles load.
We would love you to interact with us through the site - so make sure to leave your comments!

IN THE CITY // QuirkyWeddings
Weddings. They are everywhere. Sometimes they are awesome. You get seated with some fun people, and the food is great, and everything is beautiful and the music is fun. You've also just witnessed one, if not two people you care about join their lives and hearts together, potentially before God, which is wonderful. Sometimes, weddings are awful. Super tacky, horrendous embarrassing speeches, gross food, no one you know, and if you're single a terrible reminder of how alone you are. Sigh. So many feelings.

IN THE CITY // Ormeau Baths Gallery
Tucked away, down a side street is this beautiful Victorian building, The Ormeau Baths Gallery. If you weren't looking for it you would be likely to miss it, and that would be a shame. This once public bath house and swimming pool was converted into a gallery in the early 90's. Belfast has a knack for turning old buildings into something great.

IN THE CITY // Doodlebugs
I write an awful lot of things for grown-ups to do and not anything for small children to do! So, recently I met two lovely ladies //Tara Mullen and Jeanette Rankin// who run a workshop called Doodlebugs. It's designed for children ages 2 and a half to 11.

IN THE CITY // Crafty Belfast
Last week, the lovely and talented Hannah Wilson and I ventured into the City Centre to Craft Workshop aka Crafty Belfast for their new gallery opening. Some of Hannah's prints were featured in the gallery along with other local talent. Crafty Belfast is run by the vivacious and eccentric Emma Giles. I met her two years in her salon when I was looking for a job and she's come a long way from the one room salon/art gallery. She's taken over the front room of Parsons Hire on Wellington, and it's amazing!

The festival takes place on Forfey Farm, near Lisnaskea, Co. Fermanagh over the weekend 6-8 August, camping available onsite.
