NEWS & ANNOUNCEMENTS

 This Sunday, December 10—Annual Meeting

You won’t want to miss this crucial discussion about what’s happened in 2023 and our plans for 2024—our priorities, or budget, and everything you need to know about 1309 Bay Ridge Avenue. After a brief time of refreshment following worship, we will gather again for one hour to talk about these important things. Care for younger children will be provided.


Also this Sunday—The Big Green Book continued…

During Communion, we will have the book available again just outside the Sanctuary doors, visible to all, to record the names of those who wish to become Active Members. You can sign before you receive, after you receive, or just after we dismiss. We’re using the lobby—a very “public” space at Redeemer, even during the service—on this inaugural registration so that nobody feels any kind of pressure to join by coming to the front. Though we would love for everyone who meets our membership criteria* to join with us officially, we also want you to sign the book, or not, as you choose.

For families, the names of both adults and children living at home should be recorded each on their own line. So that we can do this expeditiously this week, we will backfill over the coming weeks with the additional information required in the Registry: birthdate and place, baptism date (month/year sufficient unless day known specifically) and place, and date signed and source (which for everyone on Sunday will be 12/10/2023, and “On request”). Our Administrator, Tori, will be at the table to help.
