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).

Redeemer EYC . . .
Contact: dbumsted@redeemersarasota.org
EYC is more than a youth group! It’s a way to explore your faith as a
young person in community here at Redeemer. We’re having an amazing
time building a piece of the Kingdom! Invite your friends so they don’t
miss out on things like Broom Raider and the COTR Smash Bros. Invitational!
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 eating some awesome breakfast. Don’t worry, you’ll be out the
door in time for school. Need more info? Talk to Fr. David ASAP so we
can see you next Friday morning!
Senior EYC is tonight! You won’t want to miss the first annual
SFW/Ironic/Awkward Costume Contest. It’s a costume contest I guess, or
whatever. I was wearing ironic costumes before it was cool. Anyway, it’s
not Halloween but Halloween is so mainstream. I’ll be coming back from
playing a show in Tallahassee so I’m dressing as “that guy who was in
that band." See you tonight from 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM in Gillespie!
Next Week: Seniors, come enjoy our All Saints Parish Dinner with your
family! Help out our awesome kitchen staff! Maybe we can get ice cream
after?
Junior EYC is smashing! Both figuratively and literally. Last week we
used broom handles to smash plastic plates. Why would we do that?
Marshmallow catching, that’s why. Ask any Jr. EYCer, and you might
have an idea what I’m talking about! Anyway, come join our amazing
(and growing) crowd this Wednesday night from 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM in 1
TD Center (The Turner Dabney Room)! We’ll be finishing up our series
on Churchy Things this week!
New Acolytes! Did you sign the book yet? Evensong on Nov.16 is
your chance to be formally inducted into our Acolyte corps! We’ll have a
massive procession and we’ll fill the place with smoke in celebration of
your matriculation! Mark your calendars!
Other important dates for EYC:
☻11/1 All Saints’ Parish Dinner
☻11/7 EYC Movie Night: God’s Not Dead
☻11/16 Evensong and Acolyte Matriculation
☻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!
