Thank you to all the volunteers that showed up on Saturday, October 1^st, for Fall Work Day.  There were 15 church members and 3 academy parents and grandparents that donated half a day of their time and talents to clean and maintain our church and academy.  The volunteering of their time helped reduce our maintenance costs, allowing those funds to be used for other ministries.  There was a long list of things that needed to be done, and this crew managed to knock off (or in one case get a good start on) every one of the tasks.  When you see these people, thank them:  Kurt and Carol Ross, Hank and June Radintz, Julie Olson, Dan Shoemaker, Lori Anderson, Guang, Adrienne, Isabel, and Linden Zhang, Tim and Kris Anderson, Sue and Mike Hanson (Academy grandparents), Lee Schmidt (Academy parent), and Loren and Linda Krantz.  Lorraine Solstad and Andy Solstad came and donated their time earlier in the week to winterize the waterfall area and flower beds.  If I missed anyone, please accept my apologies.  Plan to join us for Spring Work Day on May 6^th, 2023.  There is always plenty of work to be done.

Board of Trustees

The Redeemer Constitution and Bylaw Committee continues to meet a few times per month for the purpose of updating our current Constitution and Bylaws, which were adopted by the congregation in January of 2003. The committee is following the Guidelines for Constitutions and Bylaws of Lutheran Congregations as encouraged by Synod, as well as the checklist for new/revised constitutions from The Minnesota South District-LCMS. 

Once the Redeemer committee is finished with the revision, the voters will vote to approve the draft, which will then be sent to the district for review by the district’s constitution and bylaw committee. Upon approval, the revised Constitution and Bylaws will then go to the district’s Board of Directors for approval, and finally, Redeemer voters will need to formally adopt the revised Constitution and Bylaws.
