SENIOR WARDEN REPORT

November 7th, 2017

1. Attendance on this beautiful Sunday

morning was 71. After the service and

coffee in the Parish Hall we enjoyed a good

“stump the priest” session.

2. Total deposit today was $8,412.00. Plate and

Pledge was $7,816.00. EXCELLENT

stewardship. Thank you for continuing to

honor your pledge. We strive to continue to

do God’s work every week.

3. Plate and Pledge: for the year is

$151,246.50. We are now only $22,741.50

from reaching the budget Plate and Pledge

budget. You are doing a magnificent job of

maintaining your pledging. I really, truly

believe that we will achieve our goal. Many

are saying we can’t. I believe we can! I am

so proud to have be your Senior Warden for

almost two years. Thank you for your

support, trust, and kindness.

4. Playground: Jeff has set the corner posts in

cement, set the line posts this week, and set



up the fence. He will need some help

stretching and attaching the fence. Men,

please call or email to let me know when

there is someone to help Jeff. (We, the

congregation, really do not know how much

Jeff does for Redeemer. When you see him

on the grounds, or at Wednesday Night

Café, or at Sunday service, please tell him

thank you for all that he does.) I cannot do

much in the way of physical things because

my right hand is not yet strong enough for

strenuous physical activity. Pulling a metal

fence is not yet possible. Soon, but not yet.

5. Pledges: less than 1/2 of the pledge cards, 37

to be exact, have been turned in thus far.

Please mail in your pledge card by next

Sunday, or drop it in the collection basket

next Sunday. If you did not receive a card,

please call the office on Tuesday morning

and let Lois Bolter know that you need a

Pledge Card. There are Pledge Cards

available on the table in front of the

Sanctuary doors in the Narthex.

6. Vestry Nominations: The time to sign up for

one of the three available open positions is

now closed. Nominations were called for

from the floor Sunday. No new names were

put forward. We have three candidates that

will now go through the candidacy process.

Their names will be announced in two

weeks, after the Vestry meeting. NOTE: all

Vestry meetings are open to all members of

the congregation. The Vestry meets on the

2nd Tuesday of the month at 6:30 pm. The

meeting will last an hour to one and a half

hours max.

7. SPECIAL MUSIC NEXT SUNDAY: a

second JAZZ service!!! The saxophonist,

Rebecca Barry, and guitarist, Josh Titford,

will be back again. You will NOT want to

miss next Sunday. I wish our Bishop,

Russell, would be visiting Redeemer to hear

this service.

8. Food Pantry: the food pantry needs items on

the list. If you do not have the list, please

contact Sue Rollins. The Blessing Boxes are

being used by people who need a little extra

assistance.

9. Grounds Work Party: the grounds need

some attention, especially the Azalea

bushes, the Labyrinth, a second drain line

installed, and the Interment Garden grass

cut. This will be announced in the next few

weeks.

10. Please remember in prayer: John Yates, who

had his heart valve repaired; Buck Scott who

had an electrical device, a burst stimulator,

surgically implanted in his back to control

headaches and other issues; Mary Jo Howes

as she continues her amazing recovery; and



Will English as he has heart surgery next

week as well.

Scrip reminder: the Christmas gift giving season is right around the corner, and there will only be one more scrip order placed before then. As an added bonus, low denomination gift cards are available for a limited time from the following retailers: Amazon.com ($10), Barnes & Noble ($5), CVS ($10), Darden Restaurants - Olive Garden, Longhorn ($10), Home Depot ($10), IHOP ($10), Panera Bread ($5), Starbucks ($5), Target ($10), WalMart ($10). If you are interested in purchasing any of the special low denomination cards (great for small stocking stuffers, teacher gifts, mailman gifts, etc.), it is recommended that you do so in the November order, since they tend to run out of them. A complete list of retailers can be found at shopwithscrip.com, or you can pick up a local order form in the church office. Contact Lella Lowe for more information, or email her with your order, at [email protected].

College Care Packages

We will collect items for exam care packages for our college students during the month of November. The kids love receiving items that "help them study," such as popcorn, snack bars, candy, mints, gum, hot cocoa packets, pens, markers, highlighters,

We will meet at the usual times on Wednesday to prepare, serve and wash up, and dessert donations will be appreciated. In case any of you managed to miss this, we received a vast amount of media coverage this past week. First, Michelle Matthews (Irvin) wrote a beautiful article about the café, which she posted to al.com. I had asked her to write an article for the Coastline (the diocesan newsletter), but she decided that her al.com readers would enjoy it, too. Fox 10 News reporters saw the al.com story, and they decided to show up early for dinner on Wednesday, since they were on that side of town, to see if they could film a story. The result is pretty neat. Links to both the al.com story and the TV spot are below.



With all of this publicity, I am not at all sure how many folks to plan for. The beef stew meal is an expensive one to prepare, but we can always freeze and sell leftovers...so will try to have enough for all who show up! I hope to see most of you on Wednesday!

Around the Diocese
