Announcements
School Supplies for Chester
During the months of August and September, we will be collecting school supplies for students in the
 Chester Upland School. For families with limited income and more than one child, the cost is insurmountable. Needed items include: backpacks, binders, notebook paper, pencils, pens, glue sticks, crayons, marble composition books, pocket folders, dry eras
 e markers, flash drives. Increase the impact of your donation by purchasing backpacks and other supplies through Amazon Smile at
smile.amazon.com. Supplies can be left on the back pew in the church.
St. Mary's Food Cupboard
The cupboard is closed during the month of August; however they will continue to receive food donations. Needless to say, they ar
 e overwhelmed with requests for food the first day they re-open in September and often do not have enough food to fill all of the need. We are hoping to make a large delivery of food at the end of August. Please leave food donations on the shelves in the handicapped entry. They particularly need foods containing protein.
D
uring the month of July, St. Mary's distributed 13,110 pounds of food and 5205 meals to 347 individuals.
Darby Mission
Thank you to those Redeemer volunteers who donated money and ingredients, cooked and served the meal, and attended the Darby Mission dinner on Tuesday, August 20th.
Online Church Calendar
The calendar has been corrected, updated and is being kept current. It is accessible via the website.

At the back of the church is a Prayer Book.
On the cover it says
"For those in need..." In the book please write in the names of those who need our prayers. Please enter the name and the date (and reason, if you wish). At every Eucharist we will pray for those named in the book. After a month, the person's name will be removed from our prayers, unless it is entered anew.
Please pray for those who need healing and comfort:
Ashley Ann, Erin W, Isaac, Ruth, Rose Adams, Joe Atkinson, Betty Brown, Marlaine Brown, Family of Danny Cleaver,
Family of Dwight Darkow, Pete Davis, Debbie Diehl, Steve Farrell, Catherine Gallagher, Bob and Katie Grange, Jett Hall,
Heidi and Frank Hample, Kara Kopcsik, Marilyn Keyes,
Emily Knox, Martin Knox, Jamie Lennan, Jeff Macfarlan,

and those we hold in our hearts.
Please pray for the departed especially
Danny Cleaver, Dwight Darkow, David Keyes,
Gertrude Murray and Marjorie Dobbs Saller.
Rest eternal grant unto them O Lord,
and let light perpetual shine upon them.
Heavenly Father, giver of life and health: Comfort and relieve your sick servants, and give your power of healing to those who minister to their needs, that those for whom our prayers are offered may be strengthened in their weakness and have confidence in your loving care; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God,
now and forever.
Amen.

Altar Flower Dedications
Sponsoring our Sunday altar flowers is a great way to celebrate a birthday or anniversary, remember a loved one who has passed, or mark any other special occasion. The suggested donation is $20 per arrangement, which offsets the cost of the flowers provided by Leary's Florist. If you wish to sponsor the flowers, please submit your name and preferred wording of the dedication to
[email protected] or in a note placed in the offering plate.

Gift of Angels
There are expenses that pop up that are not included in our annual operating budget, and this program covers those.
Your gift to the Gift of Angels program can be in the form of a monetary donation or a gift-in-kind and can be made in thanksgiving or in memory of someone. It can cover all or part of an item on the wish list. All gifts are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. You will receive recognition of your gift, and all gifts are recorded in our Book of Memorials and Gifts.
The Wish List currently includes: weed control supplies, floor buffer and pads, new chairs for the Parish Hall, and landscaping upgrades surrounding the newly installed outdoor columbarium by the thrift shop entrance and in the field adjoining the upper parking lot.
Please make checks payable to Church of the Redeemer and designate Gift of Angels or your specific designation on the memo line.
Your consideration of support for this campaign is greatly appreciated!
