Thanksgiving Eve + Pie-Fest
|
Please join us Wednesday, November 22, for a treasured tradition at Our Savior's. The annual
Thanksgiving Eve worship service will be held in the sanctuary at 7:00 p.m. and will be followed by the ever-popular
Pie-Fest in the Fireside Room. Please bring a pie to share, but if you can't, come along anyway as there is always plenty for everyone. Leave your pies in the Fireside Room before the service and join together for this wonderful holiday fellowship time.

The notes will be translated by RMI and you are encouraged to attach a photo to the back. When you've completed the cards, return them to the envelope in the narthex by the end of November for a timely Christmas delivery. Thanks!

Friday, November 10, June Hensala and Marcia Fischer, members of the
Letty Owings Center Coffee Team, took two of the LOC ladies to coffee. This from June Hesala...
"We had a good visit with coffee with two beautiful gals. It is so good for me to be around young people. We went between rain drops, enjoyed our visit and the traffic home was a piece of cake. It is nice to see how the girls bond and help one another, both of these girls were so happy to be there and looked forward to achieving their goals.
Three quilts, and a package of diapers from the donation bin were delivered. May we all feel the Holy Spirit with us. Blessings to all."
New, updated Letty Owings and Central City Concern brochures and information are in the stand on a table in the narthex.
