This is the time of year where in our church lives and in our own family life there is so much going on. In all of this God is right there with us. I know in my own life I keeping turning to him and letting him know I am putting my life in his hands. I do this on a weekly basis to get me through the week. It is hard to put things in his hands and let it go giving it to God. This is also Stewardship time and we have to think about our commitment to our church and God. I have my talks with God and pray about this time of what my pledge should be. It is also a wonderful time for our church as we move into a new Leadership with Canon Victoria. She is like a breath of fresh and the holy spirit is among us. I feel like if we build towards new things and think more outside the box the church will grow. We need to reach out to our community and to all our brothers and sister in Christ and let him know that God is great and awesome.

Louisiana Flooding Relief
|
|
In our world of instant news, it is inevitable that news stories are constantly replaced with other, more urgent news. Living in the reality of a news story is a different experience. The August flooding in the Baton Rouge, Louisiana area is a good example: the initial crisis has passed, families are being relocated, and federal disaster aid has begun to help people in the affected areas, but the needs of thousands of families are far from met. We can help!
Episcopal Relief and Development addresses immediate disasters around the globe but continues providing aid months after an event. We at Redeemer are joining in the effort to send aid to affected Louisiana families. Our bulletins this Sunday will include a flyer about this effort to provide funds to ERD to help families in Louisiana rebuild their lives. Please consider supporting this effort. You can make a donation directly to ERD or to ECR with ERD on the subject line.

The Fall Cleanup directed by our Vestry Junior Warden is scheduled for Saturday, October 29. Please join our parishioners for a few hours from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM in applying some "elbow grease" to help clean our campus. Free water and great conversations provided!

Officially named Happening: A Christian Experience, it is an international teen renewal program for Senior High students in grades 9, 10, 11 or 12, much like Cursillo is for adults.

pdunbar@edod.org
