AS OF JULY 1, 2009 ALL OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPTS WILL COME FROM MESSIAH LUTHERAN SCHOOL - 405.946.0462. - Mr. Sommermeyer
Greetings in the Name of our Risen Savior!
After three years of operation the Executive Board and Delegates of the Lutheran High School Association of Greater Oklahoma City voted on Thursday, April 16, 2009, to cease operations of Redeemer Lutheran Academy at the end of the school year. God has richly blessed the lives of many students and families through the ministry of Redeemer. Unfortunately, at this time Redeemer cannot reasonably expect to remain financially sustainable through the 2009/10 school year. Therefore, Redeemer will end operations after this school year is completed.
Messiah Lutheran School is working to incorporate 7th and 8th grade classes at their campus for the 2009/10 school year and beyond. Our students who are eligible have been invited to join them next year.
Many have pledged to give financial support to Redeemer for the next three years. Please consider designating these pledges to the other school ministries in the greater Oklahoma City area.
As I think about the past year, and the history of Redeemer, there are many situations, events, and “things” that are beyond my comprehension. In times like this I take comfort in the words of Jeremiah. He wrote this message from The Lord to the Israelites who were exiled in Babylon:
“For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you." (Jeremiah 29:11-14a)
God has a plan for all of us! Even though we do not always understand what His plan is for us, He will be there when we call on Him. I encourage you all to join me in continuing to pray for Redeemer, for Lutheran Education in Greater Oklahoma City, and to pray for Him to guide you as you grow in Him and seek His will. Finally, I also ask you to join me in praying for the students and families of Redeemer as they seek new educational opportunities.
In HIS Service,
Joshua D. Sommermeyer
Headmaster
