The Church of the Redeemer is delighted to have you with us

and Christian fellowship after the services on the veranda (weather permitting) or inside Gillespie Hall. Look for the Welcome Table in Gillespie

ministries, and mission, or to be placed on our mailing list, please fill out

ANNOUNCEMENTS AND INFORMATION
Today . . .
Today is Redeemer’s Veteran’s Recognition Day. Come to the
Rector’s Class at 10:15 AM, where we will meet with the children
from our Sunday School and welcome Tuskegee Airman, LTC
(USAF ret.) George E. Hardy, who will share with us from his
experience as a member of that renowned group of AfricanAmerican pilots who so influenced this country.
You received an “Investment/Pledge Card” this week in the
mail. Please bring it, together with your “Take Your Place Card,”
to one of the masses next weekend, when we will conclude this
season of celebration and stewardship. It is especially important
this week 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. Copies of the “Take Your Place
Card” and the “Investment/Pledge Card” are also available at
redeemersarasota.org and in the narthex.
Redeemer’s Cub Scout Pack 24 Annual Wreath Sales continue
today. Our Cub Scouts will be on the veranda after both 9 and 11
AM masses. The wreaths will be available for pick-up on 30 November. Arrangements can be made to have your wreaths delivered to out of town relatives or friends. We will also be accepting
payments for those wreaths ordered last week. Thanks for supporting our Cubs.

demonstrates the same, and talk about what kind of superhero
we can be for God. LOGOS, Redeemer’s mid-week event for children, K-5th, 4-6:30, includes Bible study, playtime, study hall,

One of the best things about fall in Florida is being able to still
play outside, and Redeemer “Families with Children” is celebrating just that. FWC will combine with our Middle and High School
youth for a Redeemer Kickball Event on Sunday, 30 November.

for a great afternoon. Red Rock Park has swings, playground
equipment, plenty of shade, and lots of parking. Everyone is

otherwise) of your choice. Get your kicking leg ready, and join us!

that? In Middle School? See you at 6:00PM until 7:30PM in the Turner

door in time for school. Need more info? Talk to Fr. David ASAP so we
can see you next Friday morning!

the musical offering, and new Acolytes need to sign the book! 16 November is your chance to hear our amazing youth sing, and to see our novice
acolytes be inducted formally into our Acolyte corps! We’ll have a massive procession and we’ll fill the place with song and smoke in celebration of the many ways our young people minister to our parish. Pot luck to
follow! Mark your calendars!
