By the grace of God and with the guidance of the Holy Spirit I am pleased to announce that Joshua A. Wullenweber has been called to be our Associate Pastor. The vote to call him was unanimous. As we all experienced this past weekend, Josh brings a strong sense of call to servant leadership and is eager to use his pastoral gifts at Redeemer. We also welcome his wife, Heather, and look forward to helping them get acclimated to our church and neighborhood. Joshua and Heather will start the process of moving into the area over the next couple of weeks.
His start date is Monday, October 4. His ordination and installation date and time is Sunday, October 17, at 3 pm (at Redeemer). When he arrives, we will welcome him with open arms and an open heart.
A special thanks to the Call Committee for the way they prayerfully approached the call process, to the Council members for ensuring we were passing along to the congregation a candidate that had the gifts we needed to further our mission, and to all the voting members who came this weekend to do that final discernment. It was so good to see you and to worship with you!
Vicar Josh and I have hopes to be true partners in ministry and to walk with you into the future. Our gifts complement each other in such a way that we know the Holy Spirit will stir us in good and positive ways.
God's peace - Pastor Kessinger
