Spring Work Day Thank You - Thank you to all the volunteers that showed up on Saturday, May 6th, for Spring Work Day. There were 16 church members and 5 academy parents and children 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 complete all of the interior and most of the exterior tasks. When you see these people, thank them: Kurt and Carol Ross, Hank and June Radintz, Dan Shoemaker, Lori Anderson, Chuck Koepplin, Justine Jankowski, Lorraine and Kelsey Solstad, Dave Olson, Andy Solstad, Steve and William Huck, Chaid, Jessica, Brittany, and Ansley Schwarz, Brooke Geyer, and Loren and Linda Krantz. If I missed anyone, please accept my apologies. Plan to join us for Fall Work Day on Saturday, October 7, 2023. There is always plenty of work to be done.
Loren Krantz,
Board of Trustees
Mr. Edmison (our 7th & 8th grade teacher) has received a Call to teach at another nearby Lutheran school called Emmanuel Lutheran in Hamburg, MN. Please join us and the entire Redeemer community to lift him up in prayer as he seeks God’s direction in his life. Thank you!
