FROM THE ELDERS:

Joshua Brakhage has begun his studies for the pastoral ministry this Fall at Concordia Seminary in St Louis, Missouri.  The Elders will be providing financial support to Joshua throughout the time of his studies to help defray the cost of his tuition, books and other expenses.  The Outreach Ministry will also be providing “care packages” for Joshua and Suzy on a regular basis to help with things around the house and other needs.  If you would like to provide financial support, please make a contribution to “Seminary Student Support” and place it in the offering or in the Elders drawer in the Volunteer Office.  Please do not make specific reference to the Brakhage family for tax reasons.  This money will be placed in a designated fund and sent to the Seminary to support Joshua.  If you want to provide non-financial support for Joshua and Suzy, please contact Diane Morlock and the Outreach Ministry for ways that you may be able to help. 

Several years ago, the Board of Directors and the Elders established a designated fund to assist Christ the Redeemer’s divinely-called church workers in paying off any of their existing student loans.  The agreements that our congregation made with those called professionals is that, as long as they continued to serve our congregation and as long as there was money available in the fund, we would assist them by making payments on their behalf toward the balance owed on their student loans that arose from the time that they were receiving their education for the positions that they now hold.  This program has truly been a blessing to those who have served us so well.  We have now come to the point that the designated fund balance is running low and needs to be replenished.  On behalf of the Ministry of Elders, I ask that you prayerfully consider making a donation to this fund before the end of this year.  Any amount that you are moved to contribute will be most graciously appreciated. — John Meinders, Elder Chairman
