Shift times are 6am-130pm and 1-930pm. Everyone can sign up for a max of 6 shifts. Youth/students will divide the tips and will receive a $60 stipend per shift. Youth that are 11-12 years old need to have a grown up with them (one grown up per one youth). We do have transportation to/from the fair that meets at our church - 4150 Dupont Ave N Mpls 55412. Tickets will be available at the church if you do not ride the van with us.
Good ideas to consider doing- make it a friend/family/church group activity, share with others especially those who may need volunteer hours and use us as a way to get into the fair. **Pastor Jen is volunteers Thursday, Aug. 29 AND Sat., Aug. 31 for the early shift (6am-1:30 pm), join her or create your own group!!!

REDEEMER CENTER FOR LIFE (RCFL) UPDATE
Voting Members should have received their letter in the mail
We celebrate and acknowledge the long standing ministry and work that has happened since the beginning of RCFL. There have been so many good things over the years with the emphasis on youth development, workforce development and attainable housing.
The Redeemer Center for Life Board has made the very difficult decision to dissolve the non-profit organization. While the recent history of the RCFL has been difficult, we celebrate the history and many great milestones of the organization that made it a pillar in the Harrison Neighborhood for so many years. The RCFL Board is committed to the smooth closure and sunsetting of the organization and, to that end, is working with the Redeemer Lutheran Church to ensure the transition is orderly and that the housing remains secure for the remaining active properties. RCFL is following the guidelines of the State Attorney General’s office and State of Minnesota Statutes for the dissolution of a nonprofit organization. This is a detailed process and will likely take several months.
Redeemer Lutheran Church is committed to stewarding the next phase with the community as we all plan for redevelopment and reimagining of what is next and how best do we honor our neighbors greatest needs. We still are a beacon of hope, that is now shining on what is to come. As people of faith and followers of Jesus, we believe in resurrection and new life. Redeemer church will strive to do our best as we navigate. We ask for prayers during the next season of transition for all persons and communities engaged. We ask for your patience as we go through this process. May God lead and guide.
______
Next community Q+A session with RCFL Board is Monday, July 15 from 6-7 pm. Please join either 1) in person in the library 2) via zoom (Meeting ID: 919 0952 8662 | Passcode: F9qsCC )
