President’s Report

January 2026

Greetings,

I’m very pleased that our Outreach Ministry is growing. In early December we announced a new partnership with the Joint #1 School District at Lincoln School (our neighbor). We will become a safe haven for kids and staff if they have a situation that requires evacuation of the school. We’re also going to provide winter clothing, age-appropriate snacks and food pantry items. You can see the specific items of need on the Giving Tree in the hallway leading to the Gathering Room. Thanks in advance for your contributions.

We will also be expanding our partnership with Casa Guadalupe in January and beyond. Watch for an announcement from Sheila Corwin with more information.

One of Redeemer’s hallmarks has been our outreach ministry over the years. We have a great track record of identifying and meeting community needs.

I want to remind you of our annual meeting, scheduled for Sunday, February 1. This will be an opportunity for you to hear more about the accomplishments of 2025 and our plans for 2026 and beyond. It will also be a time to thank our many volunteers for their contributions of time, talent and treasure. We are blessed that so many care so deeply about Redeemer.

Forward in Faith,

Tom Hostad
Council President
