Redeemer East Side Update

As the first quarter of 2017 draws to a close, I wanted to share a snapshot of where Redeemer East Side is financially:

We are already seeing strong signs of increased involvement and health. This is particularly encouraging as we prepare to become our own self-sustaining church in 2017. Let me take this opportunity to sincerely thank you for your commitment and generosity.

Speaking of becoming our own church, this upcoming Sunday, April 2, we are going to be having our second Town Hall meeting where we will be continuing the conversation we started at our first Town Hall. You may remember that we talked about the many ways our 10-Year Rise vision is starting to become a reality this year—new Redeemer sites, the progress of our East Side building, and how we plan to invest more in your spiritual growth. It was an exciting time of envisioning our future together.

This Sunday we want to continue that conversation with you. Click the image above for a one-minute video on what you can expect.

It’s going to be an important meeting, so please plan to join us To make it as easy as possible, we will start immediately after the service and will not be having our regular coffee hour (so you won’t miss out on anything!). We will also extend childcare. We want your voice to be a part of the conversation as we move into our future. So I hope to see you there!

Warmly,

Rev. Abraham Cho
East Side Congregation Lead Pastor
