A few days ago, I received a email blast from one of Redeemer's staff who is leaving the ministry. An excerpt of her message below. The point is, I've seen too much of these "great congregation, but I prayed and God is calling me to move on to something new". No wonder many people find Christians these days contradicting themselves all the time.
I am so grateful for your participation in our West Side congregation and all that God is doing in and through you. And I’m hopeful for all that God has in store for the future of the West Side. Therefore, it is with a heavy heart that I am writing to share with you the news that I’ve made the decision to move on from my role with the West Side team. After some months of prayer and discernment, it has become clear that God is bringing this season to a close for me. While I believe he’s inviting me to move towards something new, the next steps are still being made known. ~ Pamela
