2023 End of Year Giving Update

Dear Members and Friends,

Our 2023 ministry year has been incredibly encouraging! We celebrated our 20^th anniversary in February, installed Rev. Paul Hahn as our Lead Pastor, and installed Rev. Bryant McGee as Assistant Pastor of Congregational Care. Our programs are strong, our Spanish-speaking ministry is growing beautifully, and we purchased a new building to help expand and secure the future of our Downtown footprint! Our elders, deacons, staff, and ministry leaders have worked diligently to remain focused on Redeemer’s mission, vision, and core values. We have maintained our commitment to supporting missions in San Antonio and across the globe, including sending teams to support our partners in L’viv, Ukraine, and Reynosa, Mexico.

Remembering our call to make disciples, we continue to pray for God to lead 50 new people to a saving faith in Jesus Christ through the ministry of Redeemer. We rejoice in how God has blessed your commitment to this prayer request through the many ways you extend warmth and hospitality to our guests. Many new members have joined our church this year, and they have blessed us abundantly. Praise be to God, and thank you!

As we look back, let us remember all the ways God has shown Himself faithful, not just this year but over the past 20 years of Gospel ministry in San Antonio. We have much to be thankful for! May these blessings remind us that God alone is our help and is renewing all things to Himself in Jesus Christ. As the Apostle Paul writes to the church in Philippi:

I thank my God in all my remembrance of you, always in every prayer of mine for you all making my prayer with joy, because of your partnership in the Gospel from the first day until now. – Philippians 1:3-5

God is at work in and through the people of our church, her leaders, staff, and congregation, and you play an essential role in this story of grace. Your generosity, sacrificial participation, and joyful engagement have been vital to Redeemer’s success.

As we head toward the end of the year, let us praise God for His provision to Redeemer’s financial strength. We have already received $2,296,865 in tithes and offerings, ahead of last year’s giving. As is expected at this time of year, a gap remains to be addressed for Redeemer to meet our annual budget. The Session anticipates needing slightly over $800,000 in additional tithes and offerings before December 31.

Your giving has enabled our church to meet or exceed our budgeted goals for many years, and we hope to do the same this year. Achieving our goal creates meaningful ministry opportunities, allowing Redeemer to contribute more to our ministry and mission partners and address our operational and strategic priorities locally and globally.

The Session asks you to sacrificially and prayerfully consider your year-end giving, ensuring that Redeemer meets or exceeds all our ministry priorities. You can make your gifts today in the Redeemer SA mobile app, at www.redeemersa.org/Give, or by mailing a check to the church office at 903 North Saint Mary’s St., San Antonio, TX 78215.

Again, thank you for your faithful participation. Our future has never been more exciting!

For Christ our Redeemer,

The Session of Redeemer Presbyterian Church
