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 . . .
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)

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.

Bible study, playtime, proctored study hall, worship through the
arts (choir, art, or Suzuki prep), and family style themed dinner.

Hall. Co-facilitators are Harriet Stieff and Medora Fry.

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].

Your Episcopal Thrift House is looking for a few good men. We

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
