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 . . .
At the Rector’s Class we will hear a presentation about Day Of
Hope, to be held at Redeemer on 1 August.
Bridge to the Word, a small group adult Sunday School class,
meets today in Room 207 above Gillespie Hall, 10:10–10:40 AM.
Baptism Preparation meets today at 10:15 AM in the Halton
Chapel.
First Communion Classes meet today for children K and up in
the Kindergarten classroom during Sunday School time.
Today, the 4th Sunday in Lent, is known as “Refreshment Sunday” and “Mothering Sunday.” We are now more than halfway
through Lent, and on this day there is a lightening of the penitential mood in Lent – hence the name “Refreshment.” In England it
is known as “Mothering Sunday” because people typically return
to their home parishes. The flowers in the sanctuary reflect this
mid-Lent Sunday.
Solemn Evensong will be sung today at 5:15 in the church. The
Service is Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis in F Major by George Dyson, and the anthem is Vinea Electa, No. II, of Motets for the Season of Lent by Francis Poulenc.
The deadline for Easter flowers has been changed. Tomorrow,
Monday, 16 March, is the deadline for donations for Easter flowers. Envelopes are available in the narthex. Make checks payable
to “Church of the Redeemer” marked “Easter Altar Flowers.”

Would you like to help make palm crosses for Palm Sunday?
Pick up some palm branches in the parish hall this morning, and

the count on each bag. We need many hands!

trips require a $100 deposit; please reserve your spot today! The deadline is April 1st!
