At the family meeting on Sunday Mar. 5, the Board explained the process that we plan to follow for the pastoral search.  As we seek the next person who will shepherd Redemption Church, we invited the congregation into discerning who God is calling to pastor our church by seeking nominations to the Pastoral Search Committee.  The search committee was open to all members of Redemption Church or those willing and elibible to apply for membership.  Nominations closed on Tuesday Mar. 28, and the Committee was presented to the congregation on Sunday Apr. 2.
