A little boy attended Church with his Grandfather one Sunday. Grandpa's church had beautiful stained-glass windows. Grandpa told his grandson that windows contained pictures of Saint Matthew, Saint Mark, Saint Luke, Saint John, Saint Paul, and whole lot of other saints. When he got home, the boy told Mom and Dad all about it. Dad, wanting to be funny and curious about what his son had learned, asked, "What is a saint?" The boy thought for a minute and then replied, "A saint is a somebody the light shines through." By the time this newsletter arrives we will have celebrated All Saints Sunday. On All Saints is the day for many congregations remember people who have died and celebrate the new life they share in heaven. We are all made saints when we were bathed in God’s hope and promise at our baptism. When we say, “all saints”, we really do mean “all”. The other point we emphasize in All Saints is our witness as people of God. When provide support to people in their time of need, teach our children to pray and share our talents we display what a saint looks like. Thank you, saints of God, for allowing the light of Christ to shine through you. I would describe Redeemer as a congregation where we like to celebrate. It’s like it is in our DNA. When we Pass the Peace, it turns into a celebration. Last Sunday Redeemer hosted the annual Soul Food Sunday and that too turned into a celebration. In fact, we recently celebrated another wonderful Soul Food Sunday. At Redeemer we also celebrate diversity. We arrive at Redeemer from different church backgrounds and experiences. Our membership includes people who are new to the church, some were injured by the church, and others have known the church their entire life. As a diverse people a word like “stewardship” requires some explanation if it is lead to celebration. My hope is stewardship might become one of the many ways we celebrate at Redeemer. We want to be a congregation where we celebrate stewardship. Let’s get Jiggy with Stewardship. Sunday, November 11th is Stewardship Sunday and we want you to get “Jiggy with it.” Minister of Stewardship, Linnae Nelson-Seys is planning the day. Our pastors and Music Worship Team will lead worship downstairs around tables. The theme for the day, yes you guessed it, will be STEWARDSHIP. Worship will include the opportunity to fill out a stewardship pledge stating your financial and volunteer commitment for the coming year. St Each completed stewardship card helps the church council build the budget budgeting process. In December the church council will present a 2019 budget for your approval. We look forward to you joining everyone on Stewardship Sunday. Keep allowing God’s light to shine through you and let’s keep celebrating. ~ Pastor Kelly NEXT WEEK is Soul Food Sunday! // Our annual Soul Food Dinner is coming next Sunday, October 28th! Plan to stay after worship for fellowship and a soul food feast of fried chicken, greens, mac & cheese, and all the fix’ns!
RCFL 20th Anniversary Fundraising Gala, NEXT SATURDAY, October 27th // Join RCFL this Saturday, October 27th at 5pm at the Loppet Trailhead in Theo Wirth Park as we celebrate 20 years of inclusive development and intentional relationship in Harrison and North Minneapolis. You can purchase tickets or sponsor a table here, visit our Facebook page for more information, or contact Sara Huelle (sara@redeemercenter.org), Pastor Kelly (pastor@redeemermpls.org), or talk to Amy in the church office! FREE FLU SHOTS on Soul Food Sunday! // Once again, Fairview Health is partnering with Redeemer to host a free flu shot clinic on Soul Food Sunday, October 28th from 10:30am-1:30pm in the church library for all people aged 6 months and up (no nasal mist). The flu season starts as early as October and can last until late May, and getting vaccinated in the fall is the best way to protect yourself, family, and friends (especially those with immuno-vulnerabilities who can’t receive the vaccine!). It takes about two weeks after it’s given to be fully effective, and effectiveness can vary from year to year even if it’s not an exact match. But even if it’s not an exact match, getting the flu shot can significantly shorten its duration and lessen the symptoms. So don’t be shy! Roll up your sleeve and come to the Redeemer Flu Clinic. Resident Flu Guru and Nurse Extraordinaire Beth Heinly-Munk will be there to assist and hold your hand should you need her to! Join us for Redeemer Women’s Annual Retreat // Save the date and mark your calendars for Redeemer’s annual Women’s Retreat to Bay Lake Camp. This year we’ll head up to Bay Lake on Friday, November 2nd and return Sunday, November 4th. Saturday we’ll be joined by a Full Voice mentor to lead us women into full expression. You can register online here, and forms are available on the back table during services. If you have questions, please contact Pastor Babette (bchatman@redeemercenter.org) Fellowship is Back! // Join us for fellowship meals next week October 28th (Soul Food Sunday!), November 11th, and December 16th immediately following morning services.
