A new year is upon us. And with this new year comes some changes to Christ the Redeemer. One of the most prominent is a change to our website. Our webservant, Joe Siegler, has been working hard on our new website which is unveiled today, the day of our Annual Parish meeting. The new web site has a new look and I believe will be easier to navigate. It is also friendlier to visitors and newcomers with a section dedicated solely to those who are looking for a new church home. I hope you will enjoy the new look and spend some time exploring the depths of this electronic marvel. If you have comments or suggestions, please do not hesitate to write me and let me know what you’re thinking.
But in this new year, there are other changes as well. We have a new coordinator for our Greeter’s/Newcomer’s ministry. Niki Jones has agreed to take over this important ministry and find ways we can be more effective at greeting, informing and incorporating newcomers into Christ the Redeemer. We also have a new paid staff member. After years of dedicated volunteer service to our youth, Matt Olszewski comes on board as a paid member of staff ministering to our teenagers. We look forward to a growing and fruitful youth program in 2010.
After reviewing the gifts to the Promised Land Campaign in 2009 and looking to our future building campaign on the Rowlett campus, I believe 2010 can be the year we pay off the loan on our Miller Road property. We still have over $200,000 left on our note, but as we look to the call God has given us, part of that mission is reaching out to those who need the Good News in Rowlett. Let us pray together that God will grant us the Promised Land so that we can glorify Him in our mission to proclaim the Gospel to the ends of the earth.
The family at Christ the Redeemer has grown considerably in the past two years and there is much more for us ahead. May God give us the grace and strength to continue to know Him and to make Him known.
Joyfully Yours in His Service,
Fr. Lawrence+
