Our Savior Lutheran Church

DECEMBER FOOD PANTRY COLLECTIONS: The collection for the month of December will be going to Redeemer’s Food Pantry, our sister congregation.

L.E.A.F. (LUTHERAN EDUCATION ANNUAL FUND): The LEAF campaign has collected over $10,000 in donations and matching funds which is 50% of our goal.  Please help us reach our target of $20,000 by making a contribution to this fund.  A gift to LEAF is a wonderful way to honor that special someone for the holidays.

NEW CHRISTCARE GROUP: A ChristCare group is being formed for moms and daughters (in the 6th - 8th grade). We will meet on Saturday afternoons twice a month.  An initial meeting will be on Saturday, January 9 at 2 PM in the church lobby.  If you have any questions, please contact Dana Netherton at 451-5474 or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

FAMILY ORNAMENTS FOR THE LOBBY CHRISTMAS TREE: The Christmas tree in the church lobby is decorated with ornaments, which represent the families of Our Savior. Family’s new to Our Savior are encouraged to make an ornament, which has their name and represents them and place it on the tree. 

NURSERY:  The Nursery will only be staffing the nursery for early service and Bible Study hour on December 20, as the mom’s who normally staff the nursery will be attending the Sunday School Christmas program during the 11 AM Worship Service. VOLUNTEER NEEDED ON DECEMBER 27: If no one volunteers there will be no nursery next week. 

ALTAR GUILD MEMBERS:  Will meet December 23 at 3PM to finish the decorating and prepare for the Christmas Services. Anyone interested in helping is welcome to attend.

EXPERIENCING GOD STUDY:  Beginning January 5 from 7-8:30 PM, we will be offering the 13-week Bible Study Experiencing God, for members who would like to take the class for the first time, or for those who would like to repeat the process.  A sign-up sheet is posted on the church bulletin board or you may contact the church office if you plan to attend and if you are in need of childcare.
