From the Rector's Desk Birth Announcement Summer Transitions COR@9—Continuing this Week Christian Theatre - Little Women Stewardship Prayer Requests
2 Samuel 6:1-5, 12b-19 |
This summer we are moving through some staff transitions at Redeemer, and while change is often difficult, it also provides some opportunity to revision and re-orient resources based on the change in needs and the gifts of our people. As Ryan Hofacre is sent out to plant a church and Allyson Entner heads into an intensive counseling internship, we are seeking God's direction, leading and provision. The part-time Children's Pastor position has been posted in various places, and Ryan is helping to ensure ongoing leadership through our excellent group of dedicated youth volunteers, so we are gaining some clarity on the way forward in these two areas. These transitions have provided an opportunity to address a need that we have had some time--for more pastoral support in the congregation, generally. Birth Announcement - Elizabeth Kozlova
Congratulations to Alex, Eugenia and Masha on the birth of Elizabeth Beatrice Kozlova! She was born on July 2, weighing in at 7 lbs. 13 oz. and is growing well.
You are probably aware that we are in the midst of some staff transition over the next few months. We have now posted the job description for the Children's Pastor opportunity at Redeemer, and encourage you to have any potential candidates contact our office for complete information. Please pray for this search, and for the leadership among our youth, that God would identify and raise up the leaders that are being called.
Please join us during the 9 o'clock hour as we continue our study on the Theology of Money. Even if you haven't made it to the previous weeks, we still invite you to jump right in this coming Sunday and participate! Christian Theatre — Little Women
Thank you for your faithfulness in giving that has made it possible for us to be on track with our budget as we enter the summer. Thanks be to God! As people travel over the next few months we often see a drop in tithes and offerings, so thank you for continuing to follow God's direction in your stewardship of what God has given. If you know you will be away you can always mail your offering to Church of the Redeemer, 1713 Green Bay Rd, Highland Park, IL 60035.

It was a great pleasure last Sunday to announce that with the affirmation of the Vestry I have asked Amanda Holm to serve as Pastor for Worship and Congregational Care. She has been a part of Redeemer for the last four years, and has been on staff as Worship Leader for half of that time. In addition she has taught classes for us in a variety of areas, counseled people one on one and helped in facilitation at a Vestry retreat. Recently she served, at Bishop Sandy's request, as our delegate to the ACNA convention in Texas. Amanda also stepped in as our Office Manager for a few months during a transition and has volunteered countless hours in support of our staff's ministry in various areas. She graduated as one of Trinity's top divinity students this year, with an emphasis in Pastoral Care, so it's a particular joy to be able to help enlarge the ministry of someone already in our midst that God has placed here and gifted in phenomenal ways, and who has already demonstrated such strong servant leadership.
Danielle Miller has been involved with Acacia Theatre Company (a Christian Theatre Company based in Milwaukee) for many years. She is currently the prayer coordinator for the upcoming broadway musical version of Louisa May Alcott's Little Women.
