LOOKING FOR BRASS INSTRUMENTALISTS!  If you are a brass player of any kind, please consider stepping up to play some special music for Easter at Our Savior. A bit rusty you say?  We will make sure the parts are easy and that you have plenty of time to practice.  Please talk to Scott Kamman if you are interested.

USHERS NEEDED:  Ushers are needed in the 11 AM service if you would be willing to serve once a month in this capacity, please contact the church office.  This is a great opportunity for a family to serve together.
