Dear Redeemer Family,

 

What a joy that we shared a Celebration of New Ministry between rector and parish on the same weekend as Redeemer’s 70th Anniversary! Learning about our beginnings and our lasting impact made me proud to be called to lead this faith community who has made a difference in the Northland and in people’s lives for the last 70 years. I am committed to continuing this rich legacy at the Church of the Redeemer with you.

 

To embrace the next 70 years at Redeemer, our gifts of time, talent, and treasure are necessary. God has given us wonderful ministry to do, and that costs money! Your financial gifts help us better care for our building, our people, and our community. 

 

Some of my hopes for the 2025 budget are: 

A color, wireless copier in the office for creative communications;

Ensured funding for the associate priest position;

More outreach support for our call to be the Body of Christ in the world;

Visiting speakers for a variety of formation offerings;

Guest musicians for special worship services;

Resources for the parish life of children, youth, and young adults;

Funds to keep our building and grounds well-maintained.

 

Brian and I are giving what we can as a family, and I ask that you give generously with what feels right for your financial situation. Please share your intended total annual pledge amount by Sunday, November 24, 2024 so that we can set a budget for 2025 that reflects our ministry priorities as a parish. You can return pledges by mail, offering plate, online, or to the church office.

 

All gifts–in whatever form they are given–are valuable.

the Rev. Miranda Cully

Rector
