Whether this is your first, second, or third visit, please help us welcome you by wearing a visitor name tag found inside the parish brochure
in the pew racks in front of you. We also invite you to join us for coffee
and Christian fellowship after the services on the veranda (weather permitting) or inside Gillespie Hall. Look for the Welcome Table in Gillespie

your right, past our Rose Garden, and around to the veranda and Gillespie
Hall.
If you would like to receive more information about our services,
ministries, and mission, or to be placed on our mailing list, please fill out
the Visitor Card attached to the visitor name tag, and place it in the offering plate, or hand it to an usher, and be sure to come to the Welcome Table
in Gillespie Hall. We hope you will choose to return to the Church of the
Redeemer and invite you to call on us at any time (955.4263) or visit our
website (www.redeemersarasota.org).
ANNOUNCEMENTS AND INFORMATION
Today . . .
This week we continue our season of ministry celebration and
stewardship. Today the "Annual Giving 2015 Guidebook" is included with your bulletin. Within its pages you can learn how
your investment in the parish is utilized. Continue during this
season to pray about how you might take your place in one of
more than eighty active ministries and how you can invest in the
mission and work of the parish.
Today at the Rector’s class at 10:15 AM, we continue our
series of essential Bible stories. Father Robinson’s “Bible Essential” will be Joseph, “As for you, you meant evil against me;
but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people
should be kept alive, as they are today.” (Genesis 50:20)
All Saints’ baptism preparation classes for adults and parents of
children being baptized on Saturday, 1 November, All Saints’ Day,
at the 10:00 AM mass, continue today, during Christian Education time (10:15-10:40 AM) in the Halton Chapel.
Sign up today on the veranda after 5:30 PM Saturday and the
Sunday morning masses to be a Bell Ringer for the Salvation Army this year. Thank you to Kathy Powers.
Solemn Evensong will be sung tonight at 5:15 PM in the church.
The anthem will be The Spirit of the Lord is Upon Me by Edward
Elgar, and the service is Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis in A-Flat by

Bridge to the Word, a small group adult Sunday School class,
meets in Room 207 above Gillespie Hall, 10:10 – 10:40 AM. In this
discussion-based class we are focusing on a curriculum called the
“Wired Word,” which takes a current issue and explores how we
as Christians might look at it. Join us for discussion and a relaxing cup of coffee while making new friends. We welcome visitors
and those new to the parish. No preparation necessary!
Inquirers’ classes continue on Tuesdays, through 2 December,
6:30-8:00 PM, in North Gillespie Hall. If you intend to receive the
Sacrament of Confirmation as an adult, or to be received into this
Communion, this course of instruction is required. It is still not

This week at LOGOS we’ll look at Samuel and the “Heroic Listening” he demonstrated. As usual, we’ll see if we can discover a
modern-day hero who demonstrates the same, and talk about
what kind of superhero we can be for God. LOGOS is Redeemer’s
mid-week event for children in grades K-5th, 4-6:30, and includes
Bible study, playtime, proctored study hall, worship through the
arts (choir, art, or Suzuki prep), and family style themed dinner.

meeting on Wednesdays through 19 November.
Our fall Women’s Heart to Heart Bible study, Beth Moore’s

through the truth of each verse of 1 and 2 Thessalonians on DVD.

Hall. Co-facilitators are Harriet Stieff and Medora Fry.
Women of the parish, “perk” up your morning, with

their residence, located at 1921 Monte Carlo Drive, Unit 701. The
morning wouldn't be complete without you! Please R.S.V.P. to
Mary Hills, [email protected] or 343.3806, to reserve your
spot.
Next week . . .
The next meeting of the men’s book group, “Books and Beyond,” will be Tuesday evening, 28 October. We will be discussing
a widely acclaimed book by David Fromkin, A Peace to End All
Peace: The Fall of the Ottoman Empire and the Creation of the Modern Middle East. It “reveals how and why the Allies (after the First
World War) drew lines on an empty map that remade the geography and politics of the Middle East” and put it “on the road that
led to the conflicts and confusion that reign to the present day.”
We will convene at 7:15 PM in the Eva Pope Room, where light
refreshments will be served, and will adjourn at 9:00 PM. All are
warmly welcomed; come and bring a friend. For more information,
contact John Mathis at [email protected].

Episcopal Thrift House . . .
Your Episcopal Thrift House is looking for a few good men. We
have thrived for over half a century by evolving with the world,
and these days we find ourselves seeking the generosity of our
male parishioners as a welcome addition to our all-volunteer staff,
and as givers of manly things, as well. As the season comes into
full swing, our business does also, and we could use your help as
little as three hours a week. Men's nice clothing, in particular
dress shirts, work clothes and shoes, as well as golfing goods and
fishing gear fly off the shelves. Please contact Pat Tate, volunteer
coordinator, at 941.387.6016 for information about joining our
dynamic ministry, or bring us your donations weekdays between
10-4 or Saturdays from 10-1 on the corner of Second and Lemon
