WELCOME VISITORS!
VISITORS
The Church of the Redeemer is delighted to have you with us
today to share in our mission to know, love, worship and obey our Lord
Jesus Christ.
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
Hall. As you exit the front of the church, simply follow the pathway to
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 . . .
“Jesus the Communicator: Evangelism and the All-New Redeemer Website.” Fr. Wilson will describe the purpose and functionality of the all-new redeemersarasota.org today in the Rector’s
Class. Come and learn about the new site and its important role
in sharing the mission of the parish. Feel free to bring your own
Wi-Fi enabled device to explore the new site during the presentation.
Sign up today in Gillespie Hall after the masses to be a Salvation Army Bell Ringer at Paradise Plaza Publix (3825 S. Osprey

after Thanksgiving until Christmas Eve. Thank you Sharon Keen
and Kathy Powers for volunteering to coordinate this ministry.
Bridge to the Word, a small group adult Sunday School class,
meets in Room 207 above Gillespie Hall, 10:10 – 10:40 AM. This
discussion-based class is a wonderful time to meet other parishioners and discuss, on a deeper level, how to live a Christian life
in our contemporary world. 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!
All Saints’ baptism preparation classes for adults and parents of
children being baptized on 1 November, All Saints’ Day, continue
today, during Christian Education time (10:15-10:40 AM) in the
Halton Chapel.

prep), and family style themed dinner. Tuition for the year is $100

St. Mary's: All women have been invited to the Robinsons' on
Saturday morning, 25 October, (details above). We could still also

Future events . . .
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].
All Saints’ Day is on Saturday, 1 November. We will celebrate
this feast day with a solemn high mass with baptisms at 10:00
AM. Our eminent guest preacher for this All Saints’ weekend will
be the Right Reverend Michael E. Marshall, Assistant Bishop of
London. He will preach at the 10 AM mass on Saturday and at all
three morning masses on Sunday, 2 November. On Sunday evening he will preach at Solemn Evensong at 5:15 PM. After Evensong there will be a dinner in his honor in Gillespie Hall.

Our EYC is blowing up! We're so proud of the community our students
are building! But it's not just for Episcopalians; invite your friends! Don't
deny them such classics as Card Ninja or Thuriball!
Junior EYC meets this Wednesday night from 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM in
1 TD Center (above Gillespie Hall)! One of our students recently asked
the Gamesmaster how his mountain could break down. His response
was a single tear. Then we threw cards into watermelons! This week, Fr.
Robinson will be telling us about the Holy Eucharist so you won't want to
miss it!
Senior EYC meets tonight from 6:30 PM to 7:30 PM in Gillespie! Our
senior high community is at a whole new level. Our eats have been spectacular. Our hangage has been crucial. This week we'll talk about God's
only begotten Son in our talk series based on John 3:16. Pretty great
stuff, and you should join us if you haven't made it over yet!
EYCers! Don’t miss out on our Monthly Mission opportunities!
We’ve got a great event lined up! We are partnering for service with the
Salvation Army’s FAITH program on 10/25!
Other important dates for EYC:
☻10/25
Service Project with Salvation Army’s FAITH program
☻11/26
Ice Skating with St. Boniface
Students! Ever have a question about church stuff and then forgot to
ask when you got to EYC? Ask away with #eycsupwith to our
twitter@redeemereyc or Instagram redeemereyc!
Episcopal Thrift House . . .
How many of you have volunteered as staff, paid a visit, or
donated something to your Episcopal Thrift House in the past few
months? Very good—thank you; you may skip to the next news
item. For those of you who have not recently—or even never
(gasp!) involved yourself with this amazing, dynamic, full-time
ministry, we encourage you to take your place. We, the volunteers
of the Thrift House, seek to welcome newcomers (and prodigal
supporters) in every capacity: as givers, shoppers, volunteers, and
pray-ers. We, the all-volunteer staff, are grateful for, and continuously humbled by, the excellent support of this parish and we beg
you for more of the same. We are at your service on weekdays
from 10-4 and on Saturdays from 10-1 on the corner of Second
and Lemon in beautiful downtown Sarasota. Welcome would-be
volunteers are encouraged to call Pat Tate at 941-387-6016, to
schedule a convenient time to participate.
Being a Christian can be fun. Join us for our next ALPHA
course. It will begin on 13 January and meet on Tuesdays at 6
PM. Stay tuned for details. All are welcome.
