OPPORTUNITIES
Second Sunday 4pmEmbodying the Eucharist,(11/14-Burns Hall)The word Eucharist means “thanksgiving.” We come together each week to pray, eat, and give thanks for all that God has given us. Join us for an informal Eucharist service. Afterwards we will embody the Eucharist as we prepare meals, bless them, and give them to those whom we are most thankful for. Information? Contact Michael Palmisano or Tory Dunkle.
Adult ForumsOctober 31 - Redeemer Youth Group (RYG), Mission & Work TripOur Redeemer youth saw the unique circumstances of the pandemic present an opportunity to make Philadelphia the destination for this past summer’s Work Trip. Over the course of the week-long immersion, our youth spent time with partner non-profit organizations and faith-based communities: Aquinas Center, Rise Against Hunger, and the Philadelphia Project. Please join us during this week’s adult forum as our group shares the impact of these organizations, people, and communities upon the lives of those they serve and upon their own lives. Our presenters will also share their vision for future relationships with these groups and future iterations of the Work Trip.November 7 - Bill Golderer, CEO, United Way of Greater Philadelphia and Southern New JerseyMore information on this series of Forums at www.TheRedeemer.org/adult_formation

DID YOU KNOW
Did you know Annual Stewardship enables the Children’s Ministries programs to cover more than just the Church School? The Sunday morning programming uses a large portion of their budget to ensure we have Nursery caregivers, curriculum, and supplies needed for each week. Children’s ministries also budgets for our most memorable programs such as the Church School pageant, the Christmas Eve pageant and the
Easter Egg Hunt. The funds provide gift books to the newly baptized and personalized bibles to the rising 6th graders. A new expense this year is the Second Sunday 4pm service. Just as our Children’s Ministries programs reach beyond Sunday morning, Stewardship enables these programs to touch generations of Redeemer families.
. . . Now that’s Ministry and your Stewardship makes it happen!

NEW WEBSITE COMING IN NOVEMBER
Preschool - Rm 221(age 3 to Kindergarten)This week we dive into the Second Creation narrative and hear about Adam and Eve. Specifically we hear how they “fell apart” from God, each other, God’s creation and the image of God in their deep selves.
Lower Elementary - Rm 215(grades 1 to 3)Today we reflect on the ways Adam and Eve’s choices effected their connection with God and each other and all of creation. The choices they made and we now make have consequences. We will reflect on the ways in which our choices impact our ability to connect with God, others and creation.
