 Hi, I am Pastor Warren Thomason

 

I served as Pastor of Redeemer Lutheran Church, Englewood, FL from October 1990 to October 2002 when I retired to our home in St. Petersburg, FL. During those years the congregation grew from a membership of 60 to 400 souls. We built a new large sanctuary and converted our old one into a fellowship hall.


Our Child Care center was started and grew into its own new building. Youth groups for elementary, middle school, and high school were active and growing. We had lots of young families, too. Sunday School was packed with children. Bible Classes on Sunday and during the week were jammed. We had lots of fun times, dinners and good family fun. We were a happy Christian family.
 
During my “retirement” I was Vacancy Pastor for three other congregations and conducted services at many others, but I never found any one to have the special spark that Redeemer has.
 
Well, I’m back in Englewood now because of the illness of our former Pastor, and all those same good things are coming back, too! We are a wonderful, friendly bunch of Lutheran Christians who worship the Triune God with great joy in the traditional Lutheran way. From that same joy in the love God has for each of us in His Son Jesus Christ we are motivated to reach out in love to all people. We have so many wonderfully talented, loving folks here who are serving in so many capacities – it won’t take us long to recover and return to our former level and beyond. It’ll be so much fun as we all work together.
 
Oh – and please call me whenever you’d like to talk about anything - I’m always available to folks either at the church 941-475-2410 or my personal cell phone 941-350-5675. We invite you to come worship with us and experience what I’m bragging about. Until then, may God bless you in all ways in CHRIST JESUS.
