LUTHERAN SOCIAL SERVICES is looking to the good Christian folk at Redeemer to help restock the food pantry for the CHRISTMAS SEASON.  As you know the homeless and the less privileged do exist in Orange County and we have always stretched out a loving and Christian hand to all.  We will be gathering food for the entire month of NOVEMBER.  It is suggested that each family bring in at least 6 food items selected from the following list:

baby food                         canned fruits                          pasta

baby cereal                      canned vegetables                 rice

baby formula                   pudding/jell-o                       beans

dry milk                           peanut butter                         cereal

 jar cheese                        crackers                                 jelly

“A generous man will himself be blessed, for he shares his food with the poor.”  (Proverbs 22:9)

Put LUTHERAN SOCIAL SERVICES on your grocery list and put your donations in the box in the Narthex, through the month of NOVEMBER.

Donations are being accepted to raise funds for the Sanctuary Tile Project to replace worn carpet with new tile that will enhance the Sanctuary acoustics.  Please put “Sanctuary Tile Project” in the memo line of your check or on your offering envelope.

The Redeemer Lutheran Preschool Board has established a Preschool scholarship fund.  We have had families visit our school who simply cannot afford the tuition and were not approved for governmental assistance.  We would like to offer these families a good Christian education for their children.  To donate to this fund, please make your check payable to Redeemer Lutheran Church with “Preschool Scholarship Fund” on the memo line.  Thank you for your continued support of Redeemer Lutheran Preschool.

The Evangelism Board and Preschool Board co-sponsor the “PBJ” program in which Redeemer members and families support Preschool families.  When you join PBJ, you can show your support in any number of creative ways.  For example, you can send birthday and holiday cards as well as attend Preschool special events as time permits.  You can make sure your family knows about our Sunday School program and invite them to join us for services and special events.  Christ most certainly loves His church, and we can let the Preschool families know that they are loved by us.  Please contact Ellen Prior or the church office for more information.

Nursery attendants are needed for the 11:00 am service on Sundays.  Please contact Kelly Mason at 714-514-3587 to be added to the rotation schedule.  We are trying to keep it to once a month on the schedule, but we need additional volunteers to keep that schedule.
