Operation Christmas Child is collecting small play toys like: balls, lego sets, slinky, yoyo, plastic animals, magnets, finger puppets and others in April. All items must fit in a shoebox. Please place these on the table in the Concourse.
Camperships to attend a Lutheran Camp are available for Our Savior’s members this year. We will pay for half of the cost of attendance (up to $250) for our children to attend summer camp. Contact the office for details.
The Charting the Future gatherings are a process our Council is inviting the congregation to participate in to determine our “congregational DNA” and plan for the future. The first of these gatherings, “What is the Church’s Mission?” has been rescheduled to Sunday, April 26 after worship.
