Funds to fulfill your gift may be paid through December 31, 2009.

Youth Bible Study The Youth Bible Study is for students in the 6th grade and up which meets Sunday morning in the back classroom at 9:40am. In October, the Bible study began delving into the book of 1 Samuel. We studied the call of the prophet Samuel as a little boy, the stealing of the Ark by the Philistines, and are now reading about the rise and fall of King Saul. As always, we will complete our Bible Study with a Bible oriented game like Bible Pictionary, Jeopardy, or charades. The Bible Study is also continuing its work of writing prayers for the All Parish Eucharist. Bible Study will meet this month on November 16th, and 24th. Please have your youth join us for fun and learning. |

Youth and Family Fellowship Events 2008-09 We are going to have a great time this year as the Church of the Redeemer gathers momentum in Family Ministry. Last year we got off to a good start with our youth and family fellowship events, and we are looking to expand on our experiences. One lesson I learned from last year is to be very flexible with scheduling. You will see that with just a few exceptions, I have not yet scheduled dates or times for events. What I would like to do, is have parents and youth check out the Redeemer Family Blog at www.redeemerchestnuthill.blogspot.com. Through this blog we can have conversations that can include the scheduling of events. Hopefully, through this better communication, we can have even better support for our fellowship events. The blog is also a way to suggest other activities. I have found in my short time as a priest that many of the best ideas for family ministry are not mine, so please feel free to make suggestions through the blog, or through me personally.

2nd Annual Redeemer Football Game
November is the time of year when we put baseball and soccer behind us and pick up the pigskin for a cold weather game. Last year we had a fun football game, but the curate’s team didn’t win. I am looking for change this year! At Cassidy Park in Cleveland Circle on Sunday, November 23rd, when the oldest of our youth are planning for the big thanksgiving football games, the younger than high school age youth, can challenge me on the gridiron. The game will begin at 1:00. This will give us enough time to help with the Thanksgiving in-gathering and change out of our church clothes. In all seriousness, this is not a game played at Division 1A speed, and everyone is welcome to play: especially girls. Lace up those sneakers or cleats; we are going to have a football game! If you are interested in playing, please e-mail me at meames@redeemerchestnuthill.org or post it on the blog at www.redeemerchestnuthill.blogspot.com. I will want to make sure we have enough water and orange slices to keep everyone hydrated and full of energy. |

THANKSGIVING INGATHERING
Sunday, November 23rd during the 10:30 am Service
This year, the Redeemer will again gather food for the Thanksgiving meal for the homeless and the working poor. This year our Thanksgiving meal collection will go to the Cor Unum Meal Center in Lawrence, MA. Lawrence is one of the poorest cities in the United States and is the poorest city in Massachusetts. Thirty-three percent of the people of Lawrence live below the poverty line. Of children under the age of eighteen, 49.9 percent live in households below the poverty line. The Cor Unum Meal Center is a non-profit meal center located in South Lawrence. Cor Unum provides free, nutritious meals in a safe environment to families, the working poor, and the homeless. Cor Unum feeds hundreds of people at every meal daily since it commenced operation in September 2006.
For their Thanksgiving Meal it would be wonderful if our Church School families would contribute several of the items listed below:
· Infants, Toddlers, and Preschoolers: Whole Butternut squash (20) · Kindergarten and 1st Grade: Stove Top Stuffing (need 50 boxes) · 2nd and 3rd Grade: Canned cranberry sauce and jars of gravy (need 30 of each) · 4th and 5th Grade: Mitts and gloves for children (need 30 of each)* · 6th and 7th Grade: 5 lb bags of white potatoes (need 10 bags) · Confirmation Class: New, men’s large, white socks (need 30 pairs) * Stretchy mitts and gloves can be purchased at the Rugged Bear for $2-$4/pair
Contributions can be dropped off from Sunday, November 16th through Sunday November 23rd in the collection baskets in the front of the church office or at the church school desk. Please contact Laura Patton (617-232-5175 or laurated@rcn.com) with any questions. |
