We look forward to seeing you at this 8:00 am Sunday service of Holy Eucharist at Church of the Redeemer. It is in-person only. \n\n\n\nAll are welcome to participate fully at Redeemer. \n\n\n\n\nAll races.\n\n\n\nAll religions.\n\n\n\nAll countries of origin.\n\n\n\nAll sexual orientations (including LGBTQ+).\n\n\n\nAll genders.\n\n\n\n\nEucharist\n\n\n\nThe Eucharist is the sacrament of Christ’s body and blood\, and the principal act of Christian worship. The term is from the Greek\, “thanksgiving.” The Episcopal Church invites all baptized Christians to receive communion. \n\n\n\nJesus instituted the Eucharist “on the night when he was betrayed.” At the Last Supper he shared the bread and cup of wine at a sacred meal with his disciples. He identified the bread with his body and the wine with his blood of the new covenant. Jesus commanded his disciples to “do this” in remembrance of him. See these passages in Scripture: \n\n\n\n\n1 Corinthians 11:23-26\n\n\n\nMark 14:22-25\n\n\n\nMatthew 26:26-29\n\n\n\nLuke 22:14-20\n\n\n\n\nThe Book of Common Prayer\n\n\n\nThe Eucharist makes Christ’s sacrifice present. This unites us to Christ’s one self-offering (Book of Common Prayer\, p. 859). The Last Supper provides the basis for the fourfold Eucharistic action of taking\, blessing\, breaking\, and sharing. Christ’s body and blood are really present in the sacrament of the Eucharist and received by faith. We also know Christ’s presence in the gathered eucharistic community. \n\n\n\nThe Book of Common Prayer entitles the whole service the Holy Eucharist. \n\n\n\n\nThe first part of the service is designated the Word of God. It usually includes the entrance rite\, the lessons and gradual psalm\, the gospel\, the sermon\, the Nicene Creed\, the Prayers of the People\, the confession of sin and absolution\, and the Peace.\n\n\n\nThe second portion of the service is designated the Holy Communion. It includes the offertory\, the consecration of the bread and wine in the Great Thanksgiving\, the communion of the people\, and the concluding prayers of thanksgiving and dismissal. A blessing may be given prior to the dismissal.\n\n\n\n\nThe Eucharist is also called the Lord’s Supper\, Holy Communion\, the Divine Liturgy\, the Mass\, and the Great Offertory (BCP\, p. 859). \n\n\n\nThe Hymnal\n\n\n\nThe Hymnal 1982 includes a section with a variety of hymns for the Holy Eucharist (Numbers 300 through 347)\, including the following: \n\n\n\n\n“Come\, risen Lord\, and deign to be our guest” (305 and 306)\n\n\n\n“My God\, thy table now is spread” (321)\n\n\n\n“Now\, my tongue\, the mystery telling” (329 through 331)\n\n\n\n“I am the bread of life” (335)\n\n\n\n\n(Above taken from Eucharist .)

May it not be counted against them! But the Lord stood by me and gave me strength\, so that through me the message might be fully proclaimed and all the Gentiles might hear it. So I was rescued from the lion’s mouth. The Lord will rescue me from every evil attack and save me for his heavenly kingdom. To him be the glory for ever and ever. Amen. \n\n\n\nLuke 18:9-14 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nHe also told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous and regarded others with contempt: ‘Two men went up to the temple to pray\, one a Pharisee and the other a tax-collector. The Pharisee\, standing by himself\, was praying thus\, “God\, I thank you that I am not like other people: thieves\, rogues\, adulterers\, or even like this tax-collector. I fast twice a week; I give a tenth of all my income.” But the tax-collector\, standing far off\, would not even look up to heaven\, but was beating his breast and saying\, “God\, be merciful to me\, a sinner!” I tell you\, this man went down to his home justified rather than the other; for all who exalt themselves will be humbled\, but all who humble themselves will be exalted.’ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Old Testament\, New Testament and Gospel readings are from the New Revised Standard Version Bible: Anglicized Edition\, copyright 1989\, 1995\, Division of Christian Education of the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the United States of America.

Please contact Alcoholics Anonymous for more information. A.A. is not allied with any sect\, denomination\, politics\, organization or institution. \n\n\n\nWhat is Alcoholics Anonymous?\n\n\n\nAlcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of people who share their experience\, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism. \n\n\n\nThe only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking. There are no dues or fees for A.A. membership; we are self-supporting through our own contributions. A.A. is not allied with any sect\, denomination\, politics\, organization or institution; does not wish to engage in any controversy\, neither endorses nor opposes any causes. \n\n\n\nWhat A.A. does do: \n\n\n\n\nOur primary purpose is to stay sober and help other alcoholics to achieve sobriety.\n\n\n\nA.A. members share their experience with anyone seeking help with a drinking problem; they give person-to-person service or “sponsorship” to the alcoholic coming to A.A. from any source.\n\n\n\nThe A.A. program\, set forth in our Twelve Steps\, offers the alcoholic a way to develop a satisfying life without alcohol.\n\n\n\n\nThis program is discussed at A.A. group meetings. \n\n\n\n\nOpen speaker meetings — open to alcoholics and nonalcoholics. (Attendance at an open A.A. meeting is the best way to learn what A.A. is\, what it does\, and what it does not do.) At speaker meetings\, A.A. members “tell their stories.” They describe their experiences with alcohol\, how they came to A.A.\, and how their lives have changed as a result of Alcoholics Anonymous.\n\n\n\nOpen discussion meetings — one member speaks briefly about his or her drinking experience\, and then leads a discussion on A.A. recovery or any drinking-related problem anyone brings up. (Closed meetings are for A.A.s or anyone who may have a drinking problem.)\n\n\n\nClosed discussion meetings — conducted just as open discussions are\, but for alcoholics or prospective A.A.s only.\n\n\n\nStep meetings (usually closed) — discussion of one of the Twelve Steps.

We are going to call our rebirth choir Remington Drive Irregulars. This name comes from the historic name of 181st Street\, which provides the south boundary of the Redeemer campus. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe choir draws repertoire from the Sacred Harp tradition\, Taizé\, rounds\, and chant. Scheduled rehearsals are set for 7:00 pm on most Tuesdays. \n\n\n\nSelect the following to volunteer for the few\, the proud\, the Remington Drive Irregulars. \n\n\n\n\nSign up for the Remington Drive Irregulars\n\n\n\n\nVolunteering lets us know how much music to prepare. You will not commit to singing every Sunday for life by doing this. We expect to have “rotating” attendance in the choir. \n\n\n\nBenefits of singing in a choir\n\n\n\nSinging in a choir offers significant mental\, social\, and physical benefits\, such as the following: \n\n\n\n\nReducing stress and anxiety\n\n\n\nBoosting mood and self-esteem\n\n\n\nFostering a sense of community\n\n\n\nImproving cognitive skills like memory and music reading\n\n\n\nStrengthening respiratory and immune systems \n\n\n\n\nChoral singing can also improve heart function\, increase pain thresholds\, and provide a powerful sense of belonging and social connection.  \n\n\n\nThese articles back up those claims: \n\n\n\n\nChoir singing improves health\, happiness – and is the perfect icebreaker (University of Oxford)\n\n\n\n13 health (physical\, mental\, and social) benefits of choir singing: Choral singing is good for you\, your physical and mental health\, and social life (Interkultur)\n\n\n\nThe Mental-Health Benefits of Singing in a Choir: A body of research finds singing in a group boosts mood\, outlook\, and health (Psychology Today)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFrom the Venite\, exultemus (Psalm 95) in the Book of Common Prayer: \n\n\n\n\nCome\, let us sing to the Lord; *     let us shout for joy to the Rock of our salvation.Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving *     and raise a loud shout to him with psalms.

Please contact Cocaine Anonymous for more information. In the spirit of Tradition Six\, C.A. is not allied with any sect\, denomination\, politics\, organization or institution. \n\n\n\nMeeting type: \n\n\n\n\nMeditation: Practices vary\, but typically there is a brief period of meditation prior to any sharing. The meditation may be silent or accompanied by audio intended to help facilitate the practice. Lights may be turned off or dimmed during the meditation.\n\n\n\nCandlelight: The meeting is conducted partly or entirely by candlelight.\n\n\n\n\nAbout C.A.\n\n\n\nCocaine Anonymous is a Fellowship of men and women who share their experience\, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others recover from their addiction. \n\n\n\nThe best way to reach someone is to speak to them on a common level. The members of C.A. are all recovering addicts who maintain their individual sobriety by working with others. We come from various social\, ethnic\, economic and religious backgrounds\, but what we have in common is addiction. \n\n\n\nThe only requirement for membership is a desire to stop using cocaine and all other mind-altering substances. \n\n\n\nAnyone who wants to stop using cocaine and all other mind-altering substances (including alcohol and other drugs) is welcome. \n\n\n\nThere are no dues or fees for membership; we are fully self-supporting through our own contributions. \n\n\n\nWe do ask for voluntary contributions at meetings to cover expenses such as coffee\, rent\, literature and services to help those who are still suffering. However\, newcomers need not feel obligated to contribute. We do not accept donations from organizations or individuals outside the Fellowship. \n\n\n\nWe are not allied with any sect\, denomination\, politics\, organization or institution. \n\n\n\nIn order to maintain our integrity and avoid any possible complications\, we are not affiliated with any outside organization. Although C.A. is a spiritual program\, we do not align ourselves with any religion. Our members are free to define their spirituality as they see fit. Our individual members may have opinions of their own\, but C.A. as a whole has no opinion on outside issues. We are not affiliated with any rehabs\, recovery houses or hospitals\, but many do refer their patients to Cocaine Anonymous to maintain their sobriety. \n\n\n\nOur primary purpose is to stay free from cocaine and all other mind-altering substances and to help others achieve the same freedom. \n\n\n\nThe only purpose of Cocaine Anonymous is to offer recovery to individuals who are suffering from addiction. Our experience has shown that the most effective way to attain and maintain sobriety is to work with others suffering from the same malady. \n\n\n\nWe use the Twelve-Step recovery program because it has already been proven that the Twelve-Step recovery program works. \n\n\n\nCocaine Anonymous\n\n\n\nWelcome to Cocaine Anonymous .

The first step towards solving any problem is admitting that there is a problem. \n\n\n\n12 steps of Cocaine Anonymous\n\n\n\n\nWe admitted we were powerless over cocaine and all other mind-altering substances—that our lives had become unmanageable.\n\n\n\nCame to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.\n\n\n\nMade a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.\n\n\n\nMade a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.\n\n\n\nAdmitted to God\, to ourselves\, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.\n\n\n\nWere entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.\n\n\n\nHumbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.\n\n\n\nMade a list of all persons we had harmed\, and became willing to make amends to them all.\n\n\n\nMade direct amends to such people wherever possible\, except when to do so would injure them or others.\n\n\n\nContinued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.\n\n\n\nSought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him\, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.\n\n\n\nHaving had a spiritual awakening as the result of these Steps\, we tried to carry this message to addicts\, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.

The term is from the Greek\, “thanksgiving.” The Episcopal Church invites all baptized Christians to receive communion. \n\n\n\nJesus instituted the Eucharist “on the night when he was betrayed.” At the Last Supper he shared the bread and cup of wine at a sacred meal with his disciples. He identified the bread with his body and the wine with his blood of the new covenant. Jesus commanded his disciples to “do this” in remembrance of him.

This unites us to Christ’s one self-offering (Book of Common Prayer\, p. 859). The Last Supper provides the basis for the fourfold Eucharistic action of taking\, blessing\, breaking\, and sharing. Christ’s body and blood are really present in the sacrament of the Eucharist and received by faith. We also know Christ’s presence in the gathered eucharistic community. \n\n\n\nThe Book of Common Prayer entitles the whole service the Holy Eucharist. \n\n\n\n\nThe first part of the service is designated the Word of God. It usually includes the entrance rite\, the lessons and gradual psalm\, the gospel\, the sermon\, the Nicene Creed\, the Prayers of the People\, the confession of sin and absolution\, and the Peace.\n\n\n\nThe second portion of the service is designated the Holy Communion. It includes the offertory\, the consecration of the bread and wine in the Great Thanksgiving\, the communion of the people\, and the concluding prayers of thanksgiving and dismissal. A blessing may be given prior to the dismissal.\n\n\n\n\nThe Eucharist is also called the Lord’s Supper\, Holy Communion\, the Divine Liturgy\, the Mass\, and the Great Offertory (BCP\, p. 859). \n\n\n\nThe Hymnal\n\n\n\nThe Hymnal 1982 includes a section with a variety of hymns for the Holy Eucharist (Numbers 300 through 347)\, including the following: \n\n\n\n\n“Come\, risen Lord\, and deign to be our guest” (305 and 306)\n\n\n\n“My God\, thy table now is spread” (321)\n\n\n\n“Now\, my tongue\, the mystery telling” (329 through 331)\n\n\n\n“I am the bread of life” (335)\n\n\n\n\n(Above taken from Eucharist .)

He bids us to slow down\, make space\, and intentionally choose a different way.  We are invited to embrace zimzum\, a sacrificial emptying within ourselves in which God works. This is a time for reflection in community to invite God ever deeper in our lives. \n\n\n\nThese free classes for adults take place from 9:30 am to 10:15 am at Episcopal Church of the Redeemer in Kenmore\, Washington. We invite anyone in the community to join us. \n\n\n\nChurch of the Redeemer provides a children classes during this time. That class uses Episcopal Children’s Curriculum (ECC)\, a thematic Sunday school curriculum tied to the seasons of the church year.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nZimzum\n\n\n\nThe self-imposed “withdrawal” of a part of God is the definition of “zimzum.” This enables the creation of the universe\, as described by Isaac Luria. \n\n\n\nIsaac Luria introduced four central themes into Kabbalistic cosmology:  \n\n\n\n\nZimzum\, divine contraction\n\n\n\nShevirat HaKelim\, the shattering of the vessels\n\n\n\nTikkun\, repair and rectification\n\n\n\nPartzufim\, the arrangement of divine personas\n\n\n\n\nThese concepts form a continuous and interrelated process describing how the finite world emerged from divine infinity. Zimzum represents the initial withdrawal of divine light (Ohr Ein Sof). This created a “vacant space” (chalal panui) where independent existence could emerge.  \n\n\n\nBishop LaBelle wondered what sort of implications that zimzum might have for us. He wondered if\, as bearers of the image of God\, that we too are called to embrace zimzum. That is\, to make space in our overly filled lives to be in relationship with God and to others and the natural worlds. Nearly every inch of our lives is at full capacity. Most days we go to bed spent with only more of the same on the horizon.

Will he delay long in helping them? I tell you\, he will quickly grant justice to them. And yet\, when the Son of Man comes\, will he find faith on earth?’ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Old Testament\, New Testament and Gospel readings are from the New Revised Standard Version Bible: Anglicized Edition\, copyright 1989\, 1995\, Division of Christian Education of the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the United States of America.

Amen. \n\n\n\nLessons\n\n\n\nLessons appointed for use for this day from the Revised Common Lectionary (Episcopal version). \n\n\n\nEcclesiasticus 38:1-14 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nHonour physicians for their services\,   for the Lord created them;for their gift of healing comes from the Most High\,   and they are rewarded by the king.The skill of physicians makes them distinguished\,   and in the presence of the great they are admired.The Lord created medicines out of the earth\,   and the sensible will not despise them.Was not water made sweet with a tree   in order that its power might be known?And he gave skill to human beings   that he might be glorified in his marvellous works.By them the physician heals and takes away pain;   the pharmacist makes a mixture from them.God’s works will never be finished;   and from him health spreads over all the earth.My child\, when you are ill\, do not delay\,   but pray to the Lord\, and he will heal you.Give up your faults and direct your hands rightly\,   and cleanse your heart from all sin.Offer a sweet-smelling sacrifice\, and a memorial portion of choice flour\,   and pour oil on your offering\, as much as you can afford.Then give the physician his place\, for the Lord created him;   do not let him leave you\, for you need him.There may come a time when recovery lies in the hands of physicians\,   for they too pray to the Lordthat he will grant them success in diagnosis   and in healing\, for the sake of preserving life. \n\n\n\nPsalm 147 or 147:1-7 (BCP)\n\n\n\nLaudate Dominum \n\n\n\n1 Hallelujah! How good it is to sing praises to our God! *     how pleasant it is to honor him with praise! \n\n\n\n2 The Lord rebuilds Jerusalem; *     he gathers the exiles of Israel. \n\n\n\n3 He heals the brokenhearted *     and binds up their wounds. \n\n\n\n4 He counts the number of the stars *     and calls them all by their names. \n\n\n\n5 Great is our Lord and mighty in power; *     there is no limit to his wisdom. \n\n\n\n6 The Lord lifts up the lowly\, *     but casts the wicked to the ground. \n\n\n\n7 Sing to the Lord with thanksgiving; *     make music to our God upon the harp. \n\n\n\n[8 He covers the heavens with clouds *     and prepares rain for the earth; \n\n\n\n9 He makes grass to grow upon the mountains *     and green plants to serve mankind. \n\n\n\n10 He provides food for flocks and herds *     and for the young ravens when they cry. \n\n\n\n11 He is not impressed by the might of a horse; *     he has no pleasure in the strength of a man; \n\n\n\n12 But the Lord has pleasure in those who fear him\, *     in those who await his gracious favor. \n\n\n\n13 Worship the Lord\, O Jerusalem; *     praise your God\, O Zion; \n\n\n\n14 For he has strengthened the bars of your gates; *     he has blessed your children within you. \n\n\n\n15 He has established peace on your borders; *     he satisfies you with the finest wheat. \n\n\n\n16 He sends out his command to the earth\, *     and his word runs very swiftly. \n\n\n\n17 He gives snow like wool; *     he scatters hoarfrost like ashes. \n\n\n\n18 He scatters his hail like bread crumbs; *     who can stand against his cold? \n\n\n\n19 He sends forth his word and melts them; *     he blows with his wind\, and the waters flow. \n\n\n\n20 He declares his word to Jacob\, *     his statutes and his judgments to Israel. \n\n\n\n21 He has not done so to any other nation; *     to them he has not revealed his judgments. Hallelujah!] \n\n\n\n2 Timothy 4:5-13 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nAs for you\, always be sober\, endure suffering\, do the work of an evangelist\, carry out your ministry fully. As for me\, I am already being poured out as a libation\, and the time of my departure has come. I have fought the good fight\, I have finished the race\, I have kept the faith. From now on there is reserved for me the crown of righteousness\, which the Lord\, the righteous judge\, will give to me on that day\, and not only to me but also to all who have longed for his appearing. Do your best to come to me soon\, for Demas\, in love with this present world\, has deserted me and gone to Thessalonica; Crescens has gone to Galatia\, Titus to Dalmatia. Only Luke is with me. Get Mark and bring him with you\, for he is useful in my ministry. I have sent Tychicus to Ephesus. When you come\, bring the cloak that I left with Carpus at Troas\, also the books\, and above all the parchments. \n\n\n\nLuke 4:14-21 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nThen Jesus\, filled with the power of the Spirit\, returned to Galilee\, and a report about him spread through all the surrounding country. He began to teach in their synagogues and was praised by everyone. When he came to Nazareth\, where he had been brought up\, he went to the synagogue on the sabbath day\, as was his custom. He stood up to read\, and the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was given to him. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written:‘The Spirit of the Lord is upon me\,   because he has anointed me      bring good news to the poor.He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives   and recovery of sight to the blind\,      to let the oppressed go free\,to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favour.’And he rolled up the scroll\, gave it back to the attendant\, and sat down. The eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on him. Then he began to say to them\, ‘Today this scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.’ URL:https://redeemer-kenmore.org/event/st-luke-the-evangelist-transferred/2025-10-18/ LOCATION:Church of the Redeemer\, Kenmore\, Washington\, 6220 Northeast 181st Street\, PO Box 82677\, Kenmore\, WA\, 98028\, United States CATEGORIES:Holy Days ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://redeemer-kenmore.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Saint-Luke-the-Evangelist.png ORGANIZER;CN="Church Office":MAILTO:office@redeemer-kenmore.org GEO:47.7594575;-122.2595651 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Church of the Redeemer Kenmore Washington 6220 Northeast 181st Street PO Box 82677 Kenmore WA 98028 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=6220 Northeast 181st Street\, PO Box 82677:geo:-122.2595651,47.7594575 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20251017T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20251017T203000 DTSTAMP:20260424T072415 CREATED:20230225T023159Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230905T050114Z UID:10000568-1760729400-1760733000@redeemer-kenmore.org SUMMARY:Alcoholics Anonymous: Kenmore Friday Nighters DESCRIPTION:Church of the Redeemer rents space to Alcoholics Anonymous for this meeting.

Please contact Cocaine Anonymous for more information. In the spirit of Tradition Six\, C.A. is not allied with any sect\, denomination\, politics\, organization or institution. \n\n\n\nMeeting type: \n\n\n\n\nMeditation: Practices vary\, but typically there is a brief period of meditation prior to any sharing. The meditation may be silent or accompanied by audio intended to help facilitate the practice. Lights may be turned off or dimmed during the meditation.\n\n\n\nCandlelight: The meeting is conducted partly or entirely by candlelight.\n\n\n\n\nAbout C.A.\n\n\n\nCocaine Anonymous is a Fellowship of men and women who share their experience\, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others recover from their addiction. \n\n\n\nThe best way to reach someone is to speak to them on a common level. The members of C.A. are all recovering addicts who maintain their individual sobriety by working with others. We come from various social\, ethnic\, economic and religious backgrounds\, but what we have in common is addiction. \n\n\n\nThe only requirement for membership is a desire to stop using cocaine and all other mind-altering substances. \n\n\n\nAnyone who wants to stop using cocaine and all other mind-altering substances (including alcohol and other drugs) is welcome. \n\n\n\nThere are no dues or fees for membership; we are fully self-supporting through our own contributions. \n\n\n\nWe do ask for voluntary contributions at meetings to cover expenses such as coffee\, rent\, literature and services to help those who are still suffering. However\, newcomers need not feel obligated to contribute. We do not accept donations from organizations or individuals outside the Fellowship. \n\n\n\nWe are not allied with any sect\, denomination\, politics\, organization or institution. \n\n\n\nIn order to maintain our integrity and avoid any possible complications\, we are not affiliated with any outside organization. Although C.A. is a spiritual program\, we do not align ourselves with any religion. Our members are free to define their spirituality as they see fit. Our individual members may have opinions of their own\, but C.A. as a whole has no opinion on outside issues. We are not affiliated with any rehabs\, recovery houses or hospitals\, but many do refer their patients to Cocaine Anonymous to maintain their sobriety. \n\n\n\nOur primary purpose is to stay free from cocaine and all other mind-altering substances and to help others achieve the same freedom. \n\n\n\nThe only purpose of Cocaine Anonymous is to offer recovery to individuals who are suffering from addiction. Our experience has shown that the most effective way to attain and maintain sobriety is to work with others suffering from the same malady. \n\n\n\nWe use the Twelve-Step recovery program because it has already been proven that the Twelve-Step recovery program works. \n\n\n\nCocaine Anonymous\n\n\n\nWelcome to Cocaine Anonymous . We are all here for the same reason—our inability to stop using cocaine and all other mind-altering substances. The first step towards solving any problem is admitting that there is a problem. \n\n\n\n12 steps of Cocaine Anonymous\n\n\n\n\nWe admitted we were powerless over cocaine and all other mind-altering substances—that our lives had become unmanageable.\n\n\n\nCame to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.\n\n\n\nMade a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.\n\n\n\nMade a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.\n\n\n\nAdmitted to God\, to ourselves\, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.\n\n\n\nWere entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.\n\n\n\nHumbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.\n\n\n\nMade a list of all persons we had harmed\, and became willing to make amends to them all.\n\n\n\nMade direct amends to such people wherever possible\, except when to do so would injure them or others.\n\n\n\nContinued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.\n\n\n\nSought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him\, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.\n\n\n\nHaving had a spiritual awakening as the result of these Steps\, we tried to carry this message to addicts\, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.

We look forward to seeing you at this 10:30 am service of Holy Eucharist at Church of the Redeemer. \n\n\n\nIt is in-person and on-line. The link to the service live cast is on the Welcome page of this website. \n\n\n\nAll are welcome to participate fully at Redeemer. \n\n\n\n\nAll races.\n\n\n\nAll religions.\n\n\n\nAll countries of origin.\n\n\n\nAll sexual orientations (including LGBTQ+).\n\n\n\nAll genders.\n\n\n\n\nEucharist\n\n\n\nThe Eucharist is the sacrament of Christ’s body and blood\, and the principal act of Christian worship. The term is from the Greek\, “thanksgiving.” The Episcopal Church invites all baptized Christians to receive communion. \n\n\n\nJesus instituted the Eucharist “on the night when he was betrayed.” At the Last Supper he shared the bread and cup of wine at a sacred meal with his disciples. He identified the bread with his body and the wine with his blood of the new covenant. Jesus commanded his disciples to “do this” in remembrance of him. See these passages in Scripture: \n\n\n\n\n1 Corinthians 11:23-26\n\n\n\nMark 14:22-25\n\n\n\nMatthew 26:26-29\n\n\n\nLuke 22:14-20\n\n\n\n\nThe Book of Common Prayer\n\n\n\nThe Eucharist makes Christ’s sacrifice present. This unites us to Christ’s one self-offering (Book of Common Prayer\, p. 859). The Last Supper provides the basis for the fourfold Eucharistic action of taking\, blessing\, breaking\, and sharing. Christ’s body and blood are really present in the sacrament of the Eucharist and received by faith. We also know Christ’s presence in the gathered eucharistic community. \n\n\n\nThe Book of Common Prayer entitles the whole service the Holy Eucharist. \n\n\n\n\nThe first part of the service is designated the Word of God. It usually includes the entrance rite\, the lessons and gradual psalm\, the gospel\, the sermon\, the Nicene Creed\, the Prayers of the People\, the confession of sin and absolution\, and the Peace.\n\n\n\nThe second portion of the service is designated the Holy Communion. It includes the offertory\, the consecration of the bread and wine in the Great Thanksgiving\, the communion of the people\, and the concluding prayers of thanksgiving and dismissal. A blessing may be given prior to the dismissal.\n\n\n\n\nThe Eucharist is also called the Lord’s Supper\, Holy Communion\, the Divine Liturgy\, the Mass\, and the Great Offertory (BCP\, p. 859). \n\n\n\nThe Hymnal\n\n\n\nThe Hymnal 1982 includes a section with a variety of hymns for the Holy Eucharist (Numbers 300 through 347)\, including the following: \n\n\n\n\n“Come\, risen Lord\, and deign to be our guest” (305 and 306)\n\n\n\n“My God\, thy table now is spread” (321)\n\n\n\n“Now\, my tongue\, the mystery telling” (329 through 331)\n\n\n\n“I am the bread of life” (335)\n\n\n\n\n(Above taken from Eucharist .)

It is in-person only. \n\n\n\nAll are welcome to participate fully at Redeemer. \n\n\n\n\nAll races.\n\n\n\nAll religions.\n\n\n\nAll countries of origin.\n\n\n\nAll sexual orientations (including LGBTQ+).\n\n\n\nAll genders.\n\n\n\n\nEucharist\n\n\n\nThe Eucharist is the sacrament of Christ’s body and blood\, and the principal act of Christian worship. The term is from the Greek\, “thanksgiving.” The Episcopal Church invites all baptized Christians to receive communion. \n\n\n\nJesus instituted the Eucharist “on the night when he was betrayed.” At the Last Supper he shared the bread and cup of wine at a sacred meal with his disciples. He identified the bread with his body and the wine with his blood of the new covenant. Jesus commanded his disciples to “do this” in remembrance of him. See these passages in Scripture: \n\n\n\n\n1 Corinthians 11:23-26\n\n\n\nMark 14:22-25\n\n\n\nMatthew 26:26-29\n\n\n\nLuke 22:14-20\n\n\n\n\nThe Book of Common Prayer\n\n\n\nThe Eucharist makes Christ’s sacrifice present. This unites us to Christ’s one self-offering (Book of Common Prayer\, p. 859). The Last Supper provides the basis for the fourfold Eucharistic action of taking\, blessing\, breaking\, and sharing. Christ’s body and blood are really present in the sacrament of the Eucharist and received by faith. We also know Christ’s presence in the gathered eucharistic community. \n\n\n\nThe Book of Common Prayer entitles the whole service the Holy Eucharist. \n\n\n\n\nThe first part of the service is designated the Word of God. It usually includes the entrance rite\, the lessons and gradual psalm\, the gospel\, the sermon\, the Nicene Creed\, the Prayers of the People\, the confession of sin and absolution\, and the Peace.\n\n\n\nThe second portion of the service is designated the Holy Communion. It includes the offertory\, the consecration of the bread and wine in the Great Thanksgiving\, the communion of the people\, and the concluding prayers of thanksgiving and dismissal. A blessing may be given prior to the dismissal.\n\n\n\n\nThe Eucharist is also called the Lord’s Supper\, Holy Communion\, the Divine Liturgy\, the Mass\, and the Great Offertory (BCP\, p. 859). \n\n\n\nThe Hymnal\n\n\n\nThe Hymnal 1982 includes a section with a variety of hymns for the Holy Eucharist (Numbers 300 through 347)\, including the following: \n\n\n\n\n“Come\, risen Lord\, and deign to be our guest” (305 and 306)\n\n\n\n“My God\, thy table now is spread” (321)\n\n\n\n“Now\, my tongue\, the mystery telling” (329 through 331)\n\n\n\n“I am the bread of life” (335)\n\n\n\n\n(Above taken from Eucharist .)

The man\, though a mighty warrior\, suffered from leprosy. Now the Arameans on one of their raids had taken a young girl captive from the land of Israel\, and she served Naaman’s wife. She said to her mistress\, ‘If only my lord were with the prophet who is in Samaria! He would cure him of his leprosy.’ When the king of Israel read the letter\, he tore his clothes and said\, ‘Am I God\, to give death or life\, that this man sends word to me to cure a man of his leprosy? Just look and see how he is trying to pick a quarrel with me.’ \n\n\n\nBut when Elisha the man of God heard that the king of Israel had torn his clothes\, he sent a message to the king\, ‘Why have you torn your clothes? Let him come to me\, that he may learn that there is a prophet in Israel.’ So Naaman came with his horses and chariots\, and halted at the entrance of Elisha’s house. Elisha sent a messenger to him\, saying\, ‘Go\, wash in the Jordan seven times\, and your flesh shall be restored and you shall be clean.’ But Naaman became angry and went away\, saying\, ‘I thought that for me he would surely come out\, and stand and call on the name of the Lord his God\, and would wave his hand over the spot\, and cure the leprosy! Are not Abana and Pharpar\, the rivers of Damascus\, better than all the waters of Israel? Could I not wash in them\, and be clean?’ He turned and went away in a rage. But his servants approached and said to him\, ‘Father\, if the prophet had commanded you to do something difficult\, would you not have done it? How much more\, when all he said to you was\, “Wash\, and be clean”?’ So he went down and immersed himself seven times in the Jordan\, according to the word of the man of God; his flesh was restored like the flesh of a young boy\, and he was clean. \n\n\n\nThen he returned to the man of God\, he and all his company; he came and stood before him and said\, ‘Now I know that there is no God in all the earth except in Israel; please accept a present from your servant.’ \n\n\n\nPsalm 111 (BCP)\n\n\n\nConfitebor tibi \n\n\n\n1 Hallelujah! I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart\, *     in the assembly of the upright\, in the congregation. \n\n\n\n2 Great are the deeds of the Lord! *     they are studied by all who delight in them. \n\n\n\n3 His work is full of majesty and splendor\, *     and his righteousness endures for ever. \n\n\n\n4 He makes his marvelous works to be remembered; *     the Lord is gracious and full of compassion. \n\n\n\n5 He gives food to those who fear him; *     he is ever mindful of his covenant. \n\n\n\n6 He has shown his people the power of his works *     in giving them the lands of the nations. \n\n\n\n7 The works of his hands are faithfulness and justice; *     all his commandments are sure. \n\n\n\n8 They stand fast for ever and ever\, *     because they are done in truth and equity. \n\n\n\n9 He sent redemption to his people; he commanded his covenant for ever; *     holy and awesome is his Name. \n\n\n\n10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; *     those who act accordingly have a good understanding; his praise endures for ever. \n\n\n\n2 Timothy 2:8-15 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nRemember Jesus Christ\, raised from the dead\, a descendant of David—that is my gospel\, for which I suffer hardship\, even to the point of being chained like a criminal. But the word of God is not chained. Therefore I endure everything for the sake of the elect\, so that they may also obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus\, with eternal glory. The saying is sure: If we have died with him\, we will also live with him; if we endure\, we will also reign with him; if we deny him\, he will also deny us; if we are faithless\, he remains faithful—for he cannot deny himself. Remind them of this\, and warn them before God that they are to avoid wrangling over words\, which does no good but only ruins those who are listening. Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved by him\, a worker who has no need to be ashamed\, rightly explaining the word of truth. \n\n\n\nLuke 17:11-19 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nOn the way to Jerusalem Jesus was going through the region between Samaria and Galilee. As he entered a village\, ten lepers approached him. Keeping their distance\, they called out\, saying\, “Jesus\, Master\, have mercy on us!” When he saw them\, he said to them\, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went\, they were made clean. Then one of them\, when he saw that he was healed\, turned back\, praising God with a loud voice. He prostrated himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him. And he was a Samaritan. Then Jesus asked\, “Were not ten made clean? But the other nine\, where are they? Was none of them found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?” Then he said to him\, “Get up and go on your way; your faith has made you well.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Old Testament\, New Testament and Gospel readings are from the New Revised Standard Version Bible: Anglicized Edition\, copyright 1989\, 1995\, Division of Christian Education of the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the United States of America.

Please contact Alcoholics Anonymous for more information. A.A. is not allied with any sect\, denomination\, politics\, organization or institution. \n\n\n\nWhat is Alcoholics Anonymous?\n\n\n\nAlcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of people who share their experience\, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism. \n\n\n\nThe only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking. There are no dues or fees for A.A. membership; we are self-supporting through our own contributions. A.A. is not allied with any sect\, denomination\, politics\, organization or institution; does not wish to engage in any controversy\, neither endorses nor opposes any causes. \n\n\n\nWhat A.A. does do: \n\n\n\n\nOur primary purpose is to stay sober and help other alcoholics to achieve sobriety.\n\n\n\nA.A. members share their experience with anyone seeking help with a drinking problem; they give person-to-person service or “sponsorship” to the alcoholic coming to A.A. from any source.\n\n\n\nThe A.A. program\, set forth in our Twelve Steps\, offers the alcoholic a way to develop a satisfying life without alcohol.\n\n\n\n\nThis program is discussed at A.A. group meetings. \n\n\n\n\nOpen speaker meetings — open to alcoholics and nonalcoholics. (Attendance at an open A.A. meeting is the best way to learn what A.A. is\, what it does\, and what it does not do.) At speaker meetings\, A.A. members “tell their stories.” They describe their experiences with alcohol\, how they came to A.A.\, and how their lives have changed as a result of Alcoholics Anonymous.\n\n\n\nOpen discussion meetings — one member speaks briefly about his or her drinking experience\, and then leads a discussion on A.A. recovery or any drinking-related problem anyone brings up. (Closed meetings are for A.A.s or anyone who may have a drinking problem.)\n\n\n\nClosed discussion meetings — conducted just as open discussions are\, but for alcoholics or prospective A.A.s only.\n\n\n\nStep meetings (usually closed) — discussion of one of the Twelve Steps.

We are going to call our rebirth choir Remington Drive Irregulars. This name comes from the historic name of 181st Street\, which provides the south boundary of the Redeemer campus. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe choir draws repertoire from the Sacred Harp tradition\, Taizé\, rounds\, and chant. Scheduled rehearsals are set for 7:00 pm on most Tuesdays. \n\n\n\nSelect the following to volunteer for the few\, the proud\, the Remington Drive Irregulars. \n\n\n\n\nSign up for the Remington Drive Irregulars\n\n\n\n\nVolunteering lets us know how much music to prepare. You will not commit to singing every Sunday for life by doing this. We expect to have “rotating” attendance in the choir. \n\n\n\nBenefits of singing in a choir\n\n\n\nSinging in a choir offers significant mental\, social\, and physical benefits\, such as the following: \n\n\n\n\nReducing stress and anxiety\n\n\n\nBoosting mood and self-esteem\n\n\n\nFostering a sense of community\n\n\n\nImproving cognitive skills like memory and music reading\n\n\n\nStrengthening respiratory and immune systems \n\n\n\n\nChoral singing can also improve heart function\, increase pain thresholds\, and provide a powerful sense of belonging and social connection.  \n\n\n\nThese articles back up those claims: \n\n\n\n\nChoir singing improves health\, happiness – and is the perfect icebreaker (University of Oxford)\n\n\n\n13 health (physical\, mental\, and social) benefits of choir singing: Choral singing is good for you\, your physical and mental health\, and social life (Interkultur)\n\n\n\nThe Mental-Health Benefits of Singing in a Choir: A body of research finds singing in a group boosts mood\, outlook\, and health (Psychology Today)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFrom the Venite\, exultemus (Psalm 95) in the Book of Common Prayer: \n\n\n\n\nCome\, let us sing to the Lord; *     let us shout for joy to the Rock of our salvation.Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving *     and raise a loud shout to him with psalms.

Please contact Cocaine Anonymous for more information. In the spirit of Tradition Six\, C.A. is not allied with any sect\, denomination\, politics\, organization or institution. \n\n\n\nMeeting type: \n\n\n\n\nMeditation: Practices vary\, but typically there is a brief period of meditation prior to any sharing. The meditation may be silent or accompanied by audio intended to help facilitate the practice. Lights may be turned off or dimmed during the meditation.\n\n\n\nCandlelight: The meeting is conducted partly or entirely by candlelight.\n\n\n\n\nAbout C.A.\n\n\n\nCocaine Anonymous is a Fellowship of men and women who share their experience\, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others recover from their addiction. \n\n\n\nThe best way to reach someone is to speak to them on a common level. The members of C.A. are all recovering addicts who maintain their individual sobriety by working with others. We come from various social\, ethnic\, economic and religious backgrounds\, but what we have in common is addiction. \n\n\n\nThe only requirement for membership is a desire to stop using cocaine and all other mind-altering substances. \n\n\n\nAnyone who wants to stop using cocaine and all other mind-altering substances (including alcohol and other drugs) is welcome. \n\n\n\nThere are no dues or fees for membership; we are fully self-supporting through our own contributions. \n\n\n\nWe do ask for voluntary contributions at meetings to cover expenses such as coffee\, rent\, literature and services to help those who are still suffering. However\, newcomers need not feel obligated to contribute. We do not accept donations from organizations or individuals outside the Fellowship. \n\n\n\nWe are not allied with any sect\, denomination\, politics\, organization or institution. \n\n\n\nIn order to maintain our integrity and avoid any possible complications\, we are not affiliated with any outside organization. Although C.A. is a spiritual program\, we do not align ourselves with any religion. Our members are free to define their spirituality as they see fit. Our individual members may have opinions of their own\, but C.A. as a whole has no opinion on outside issues. We are not affiliated with any rehabs\, recovery houses or hospitals\, but many do refer their patients to Cocaine Anonymous to maintain their sobriety. \n\n\n\nOur primary purpose is to stay free from cocaine and all other mind-altering substances and to help others achieve the same freedom. \n\n\n\nThe only purpose of Cocaine Anonymous is to offer recovery to individuals who are suffering from addiction. Our experience has shown that the most effective way to attain and maintain sobriety is to work with others suffering from the same malady. \n\n\n\nWe use the Twelve-Step recovery program because it has already been proven that the Twelve-Step recovery program works. \n\n\n\nCocaine Anonymous\n\n\n\nWelcome to Cocaine Anonymous . We are all here for the same reason—our inability to stop using cocaine and all other mind-altering substances. The first step towards solving any problem is admitting that there is a problem. \n\n\n\n12 steps of Cocaine Anonymous\n\n\n\n\nWe admitted we were powerless over cocaine and all other mind-altering substances—that our lives had become unmanageable.\n\n\n\nCame to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.\n\n\n\nMade a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.\n\n\n\nMade a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.\n\n\n\nAdmitted to God\, to ourselves\, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.\n\n\n\nWere entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.\n\n\n\nHumbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.\n\n\n\nMade a list of all persons we had harmed\, and became willing to make amends to them all.\n\n\n\nMade direct amends to such people wherever possible\, except when to do so would injure them or others.\n\n\n\nContinued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.\n\n\n\nSought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him\, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.\n\n\n\nHaving had a spiritual awakening as the result of these Steps\, we tried to carry this message to addicts\, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.

The term is from the Greek\, “thanksgiving.” The Episcopal Church invites all baptized Christians to receive communion. \n\n\n\nJesus instituted the Eucharist “on the night when he was betrayed.” At the Last Supper he shared the bread and cup of wine at a sacred meal with his disciples. He identified the bread with his body and the wine with his blood of the new covenant. Jesus commanded his disciples to “do this” in remembrance of him. See these passages in Scripture: \n\n\n\n\n1 Corinthians 11:23-26\n\n\n\nMark 14:22-25\n\n\n\nMatthew 26:26-29\n\n\n\nLuke 22:14-20\n\n\n\n\nThe Book of Common Prayer\n\n\n\nThe Eucharist makes Christ’s sacrifice present. This unites us to Christ’s one self-offering (Book of Common Prayer\, p. 859). The Last Supper provides the basis for the fourfold Eucharistic action of taking\, blessing\, breaking\, and sharing. Christ’s body and blood are really present in the sacrament of the Eucharist and received by faith. We also know Christ’s presence in the gathered eucharistic community. \n\n\n\nThe Book of Common Prayer entitles the whole service the Holy Eucharist. \n\n\n\n\nThe first part of the service is designated the Word of God. It usually includes the entrance rite\, the lessons and gradual psalm\, the gospel\, the sermon\, the Nicene Creed\, the Prayers of the People\, the confession of sin and absolution\, and the Peace.\n\n\n\nThe second portion of the service is designated the Holy Communion. It includes the offertory\, the consecration of the bread and wine in the Great Thanksgiving\, the communion of the people\, and the concluding prayers of thanksgiving and dismissal. A blessing may be given prior to the dismissal.\n\n\n\n\nThe Eucharist is also called the Lord’s Supper\, Holy Communion\, the Divine Liturgy\, the Mass\, and the Great Offertory (BCP\, p. 859). \n\n\n\nThe Hymnal\n\n\n\nThe Hymnal 1982 includes a section with a variety of hymns for the Holy Eucharist (Numbers 300 through 347)\, including the following: \n\n\n\n\n“Come\, risen Lord\, and deign to be our guest” (305 and 306)\n\n\n\n“My God\, thy table now is spread” (321)\n\n\n\n“Now\, my tongue\, the mystery telling” (329 through 331)\n\n\n\n“I am the bread of life” (335)\n\n\n\n\n(Above taken from Eucharist .)

Give praise\, you servants of the Lord; *     praise the Name of the Lord.2 Let the Name of the Lord be blessed\, *     from this time forth for evermore.3 From the rising of the sun to its going down *     let the Name of the Lord be praised.4 The Lord is high above all nations\, *     and his glory above the heavens.5 Who is like the Lord our God\, who sits enthroned on high\, *     but stoops to behold the heavens and the earth?6 He takes up the weak out of the dust *     and lifts up the poor from the ashes.7 He sets them with the princes\, *     with the princes of his people.8 He makes the woman of a childless house *     to be a joyful mother of children. \n\n\n\n1 Timothy 2:1-7 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nFirst of all\, I urge that supplications\, prayers\, intercessions\, and thanksgivings be made for everyone\, for kings and all who are in high positions\, so that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and dignity. This is right and is acceptable in the sight of God our Savior\, who desires everyone to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God; there is also one mediator between God and humankind\, Christ Jesus\, himself human\, who gave himself a ransom for all—this was attested at the right time. For this I was appointed a herald and an apostle (I am telling the truth\, I am not lying)\, a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth. \n\n\n\nLuke 16:1-13 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nJesus said to the disciples\, “There was a rich man who had a manager\, and charges were brought to him that this man was squandering his property. So he summoned him and said to him\, ‘What is this that I hear about you? Give me an accounting of your management\, because you cannot be my manager any longer.’ Then the manager said to himself\, ‘What will I do\, now that my master is taking the position away from me? I am not strong enough to dig\, and I am ashamed to beg. I have decided what to do so that\, when I am dismissed as manager\, people may welcome me into their homes.’ So\, summoning his master’s debtors one by one\, he asked the first\, ‘How much do you owe my master?’ He answered\, ‘A hundred jugs of olive oil.’ He said to him\, ‘Take your bill\, sit down quickly\, and make it fifty.’ Then he asked another\, ‘And how much do you owe?’ He replied\, ‘A hundred containers of wheat.’ He said to him\, ‘Take your bill and make it eighty.’ And his master commended the dishonest manager because he had acted shrewdly; for the children of this age are more shrewd in dealing with their own generation than are the children of light. And I tell you\, make friends for yourselves by means of dishonest wealth so that when it is gone\, they may welcome you into the eternal homes. Whoever is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much; and whoever is dishonest in a very little is dishonest also in much. If then you have not been faithful with the dishonest wealth\, who will entrust to you the true riches? And if you have not been faithful with what belongs to another\, who will give you what is your own? No slave can serve two masters; for a slave will either hate the one and love the other\, or be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Old Testament\, New Testament and Gospel readings are from the New Revised Standard Version Bible: Anglicized Edition\, copyright 1989\, 1995\, Division of Christian Education of the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the United States of America.

Please contact Alcoholics Anonymous for more information. A.A. is not allied with any sect\, denomination\, politics\, organization or institution. \n\n\n\nWhat is Alcoholics Anonymous?\n\n\n\nAlcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of people who share their experience\, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism. \n\n\n\nThe only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking. There are no dues or fees for A.A. membership; we are self-supporting through our own contributions. A.A. is not allied with any sect\, denomination\, politics\, organization or institution; does not wish to engage in any controversy\, neither endorses nor opposes any causes. \n\n\n\nWhat A.A. does do: \n\n\n\n\nOur primary purpose is to stay sober and help other alcoholics to achieve sobriety.\n\n\n\nA.A. members share their experience with anyone seeking help with a drinking problem; they give person-to-person service or “sponsorship” to the alcoholic coming to A.A. from any source.\n\n\n\nThe A.A. program\, set forth in our Twelve Steps\, offers the alcoholic a way to develop a satisfying life without alcohol.\n\n\n\n\nThis program is discussed at A.A. group meetings. \n\n\n\n\nOpen speaker meetings — open to alcoholics and nonalcoholics. (Attendance at an open A.A. meeting is the best way to learn what A.A. is\, what it does\, and what it does not do.) At speaker meetings\, A.A. members “tell their stories.” They describe their experiences with alcohol\, how they came to A.A.\, and how their lives have changed as a result of Alcoholics Anonymous.\n\n\n\nOpen discussion meetings — one member speaks briefly about his or her drinking experience\, and then leads a discussion on A.A. recovery or any drinking-related problem anyone brings up. (Closed meetings are for A.A.s or anyone who may have a drinking problem.)\n\n\n\nClosed discussion meetings — conducted just as open discussions are\, but for alcoholics or prospective A.A.s only.\n\n\n\nStep meetings (usually closed) — discussion of one of the Twelve Steps.

We are going to call our rebirth choir Remington Drive Irregulars. This name comes from the historic name of 181st Street\, which provides the south boundary of the Redeemer campus. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe choir draws repertoire from the Sacred Harp tradition\, Taizé\, rounds\, and chant. Scheduled rehearsals are set for 7:00 pm on most Tuesdays. \n\n\n\nSelect the following to volunteer for the few\, the proud\, the Remington Drive Irregulars. \n\n\n\n\nSign up for the Remington Drive Irregulars\n\n\n\n\nVolunteering lets us know how much music to prepare. You will not commit to singing every Sunday for life by doing this. We expect to have “rotating” attendance in the choir. \n\n\n\nBenefits of singing in a choir\n\n\n\nSinging in a choir offers significant mental\, social\, and physical benefits\, such as the following: \n\n\n\n\nReducing stress and anxiety\n\n\n\nBoosting mood and self-esteem\n\n\n\nFostering a sense of community\n\n\n\nImproving cognitive skills like memory and music reading\n\n\n\nStrengthening respiratory and immune systems \n\n\n\n\nChoral singing can also improve heart function\, increase pain thresholds\, and provide a powerful sense of belonging and social connection.  \n\n\n\nThese articles back up those claims: \n\n\n\n\nChoir singing improves health\, happiness – and is the perfect icebreaker (University of Oxford)\n\n\n\n13 health (physical\, mental\, and social) benefits of choir singing: Choral singing is good for you\, your physical and mental health\, and social life (Interkultur)\n\n\n\nThe Mental-Health Benefits of Singing in a Choir: A body of research finds singing in a group boosts mood\, outlook\, and health (Psychology Today)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFrom the Venite\, exultemus (Psalm 95) in the Book of Common Prayer: \n\n\n\n\nCome\, let us sing to the Lord; *     let us shout for joy to the Rock of our salvation.Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving *     and raise a loud shout to him with psalms.
