$10,000 Donation from Crane Charitable Funds
Pictured are Emmy Lakeman and Pastor Bob Ierien holding a $10,000 check donated to Redeemer by Crane Charitable Funds. Through Emmy's grant application, the donation will support the Shiloh House Project, which will convert Redeemer's former parsonage and Youth House into two affordable housing units, as well as Redeemer's weekly Community Gathering meal. These ministries reflect the work our congregation has chosen to support as we live out our faith by serving our neighbors. Bravo, Crane Charitable Funds, and thank you, Emmy, for helping make this gift possible!

Concert Series to Support
Redeemer’s Shiloh House Project
A free public concert series at Redeemer Lutheran church has been planned, and will feature some of the Lancaster area's exceptional musical groups.
• Sunday, Dec. 13, 2:30 p.m. The Big Big Jazz Band. This talented musical group will be presenting Christmas music in the Jazz style. Don't miss this fun holiday event!
• Sunday, February 14, 2:30 p.m. Vocal Harmonix, a Sweet Adeline style women's vocal group, with our own Lindsay Dever-Paul performing!
Recognizing the shortage of affordable housing in Lancaster city, members of Redeemer Lutheran Church are converting the former church parsonage into two affordable housing units. The house has been renamed “Shiloh House,” which can translate to “place of peace” or “wholeness”. We hope this home provides peace and wholeness to the individuals who will live there.
Monetary donations received at the concerts will go directly toward renovating the Shiloh House. Redeemer Lutheran Church is located at 800 Fifth Street, Lancaster, PA. Parking is available at Wheatland Middle School with shuttle transport to and from the church. A reception will follow each performance.

A NEW SERVICE TIME
HAS BEGUN - SUNDAYS AT 9!
Redeemer is embarking on a temporary partnership with Hamilton Park U.C.C. in which we will share Pastor Bob's time and salary. However, both churches have been meeting at 9:30 on Sundays. So, after polling both congregations, Redeemer expressed a preference for an earlier service, while Hamilton Park preferred a later one. So. . .
Redeemer has moved to 9:00 AM and
Hamilton Park UCC meets at 10:30 AM
We are treating 2026 as a year of testing, learning, and honest conversation. Your feedback will be essential.
Why the partnership?
Sharing a pastor will help Redeemer strengthen her long-term financial stability. It will also allow us to have a greater impact in our community, and to shift our energy away from constant financial and administrative concerns. And THAT, dear friends, will give us the freedom to shift back to what matters: ministry, worship, service, and care for one another!
Be part of this new chapter at Redeemer. Provide your feedback and your support. Neither church received everything they hoped to have. But approaching this new era with openness and hope will help us move forward into greater stability and brighter days. JOIN US TO PRAISE GOD AND SEE WHAT HE HAS IN STORE FOR US!
