EYC IS MORE THAN A YOUTH GROUP! It’s a way to explore your faith
as a student here at Redeemer. We’re having an incredible time building
a piece of the Kingdom together here in SRQ! Invite your friends so they
don’t miss out on things like Problems and Solutions and Thuriball!
MISSION TRIP INFO IS OUT! Grab a flyer from Sunday School and start
making plans to join Jr EYC in Atlanta or Sr EYC in the Dominican Republic! We have limited space so reserve your spot ASAP!
SR EYC MEETS TONIGHT! Come meet us tonight at 6:30 PM until
8:00PM! Confession time: we probably spent too much time fine-tuning
Left Shark Rescue last week. It’s a glorious game, though, and I think it’s
almost perfect. We’ve still got palms to burn for Ash Wednesday, and I’d
like to start our conversation about Buddhism! Come hang with us upstairs tonight in the Upper Room.

COFFEE AND COMMUNITY continues to work through C.S. Lewis’s The Screwtape Letters! High Schoolers and recent grads, come join
anytime. We’d love to have you and hear your thoughts! Let Fr. David
know if you’d like a copy of the book! See you at 4:00 PM on Tuesday at
Pastry Art on Main St!
I publish the Banns of Marriage between Elizabeth Margaret Lindsay of Dallas,
Texas and Nicholas Bobrinskoy Shepherd of Dallas, Texas . If any of you know just
cause why they may not be joined together in Holy Matrimony, you are bidden to
declare it. This is the second time of asking.
NO JR EYC THIS WEEK! Rather, start your Lent right and come with
your families to our Ash Wednesday mass at 6:00pm!
The parish family extends its sympathy to Karen & Bob Hammond and their
family in the death of Karen’s mother, Carol Moses Benigno, who departed this
life on 10 February 2015; and to Terry Anderson in the death of his brother, Leroy
Anderson, who departed this life on 8 February 2015. May their souls and the souls
of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace, and may light
perpetual shine upon them.
FRIDAY MORNINGS ARE NOT FOR SLEEPING. They are for hanging
out with the best people ever. At 6:15 AM on Fridays, we’re reading
Scripture together and having the best breakfasts in town. We’ll get you
out the door in time for school! Sounds crazy but it’s awesome. Talk to
Fr. David ASAP if you haven’t made it out to see us yet!
Other important dates for EYC:
☻2/27 Roller skating with St. Boniface youth
☻2/28 Beach Cleanup
