It was our first visit to Faith Lutheran Church yesterday. The Pastor's wife came and introduced herself, along with many members and even visitors. We felt so welcomed and Pastor delivered a very Passionate sermon. His prayers my wife and I found moving and so appropriate for the turbulence we are witnessing with our elected politicians. We will be returning and also getting involved. Thank everyone for making us feel wanted.

5. St. Isabel Catholic Church

St. Isabel Church isn't an historic structure in the sense of many churches, but it is an attractive church in a very nice setting close to the J.N. "Ding" Darling Reserve. The church itself is modern, but is a very pleasant setting for mass. The congregation seemed welcoming to me, and the priest gave an excellent, thoughtful, and well-researched homily. Architecturally, I'm not always a fan of modern churches, but I found this pleasing aesthetically and also appropriate for a house of worship. Take a minute and walk around the grounds, which are very attractive. If you are visiting Sanibel Island, this light-filled church is a nice place to attend mass.

The architecture in this church is beautiful! We went to mass here on Saturday and the church is beautiful. What a great, welcoming community they have here too. This will be my go-to Church when I am vacationing anywhere in the area.

Church of the Redeemer is a traditional Anglican church in downtown Sarasota. Founded in 1885, and in current location since 1950, this beautiful church has over 2,500 full-time members plus receives many seasonal visitors. Constructed in traditional cruciform style with an elaborate icon above the high altar, many amazing stained glass windows, historical oil paintings and art, and bell tower with bells made in Passau Germany.

Really Anglo-Catholic rather than purely Episcopalian. (Smells and bells as the occasion arises: YES!!!) Warm and welcoming, HALO system, TRULY OUTSTANDING organist, very good choir, especially when their prime soloists and often equally-talented spouses are "in the house," and an excellent organ. Top-notch "extra" musicians (trumpeters, French hornists, harpists, strings players, drummers/timpanists) are brought in for the big feast days. There are lunchtime concerts during Advent and Lent, and some evening concerts by guest professional musicians as well. The campus includes buildings for children's education and for participatory lectures for adults. Valet parking is available. The congregation is accomplished, appreciative, and compassionate as evidenced by its thrift shop and by Resurrection House, a daytime shelter for the homeless, of which Redeemer was a founding-member church. Come to Redeemer once, and you'll come back again!

Paster Gene always has a sermon that is uplifting and very relevant to every day life. It's always sprinkled with his off the wall humor. Sit on the folding chairs provided or bring your own comfortable chair. Leashed pets are welcomed. Arrive early to enjoy a free pastry and coffee. Worship music is transformed into a reggae island beat. Come and worship and have a good time.

I have been to this Cathedral for at least three times and this is the most beautiful cathedral that I have ever been to and I am so blessed to have this Cathedral be the Cathedral of my Diocese. I just love the interior of the Cathedral so much. I will definitely come back here again.
