Agrenda:
·Approve new Redeemer constitution.
·Issue a call for a new Preschool Director.
The first purpose of the meeting is to review and approve the new Redeemer constitution. Our current constitution requires that a majority of Redeemer’s voting members be present for the vote to be valid. It is critical that all voting members attend this meeting to provide your input and cast your vote.
A committee including Pastor Steve, Deaconess Kris, Nancy Lamo, Natalie Raabe, Michael Fasching, and Steven Swanlund met regularly for nine months to draft the new constitution document, which is based on the Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod Constitution guidelines.
Copies of the draft constitution are being made available to all voting members for your review.
The second purpose for the meeting is to call Heather Bielec as our new Preschool Director. Marit Esterberg, our current director, is retiring after the end of this school year. An offer has been made and Heather accepted pending the approval of the call by the voters.
Serving the Risen Christ,
Steven Swanlund
Congregational President
