Greetings!
The old Platters tune said,
When a lovely flame dies
Smoke gets in your eyes.
Unfortunately for us, wildfire smoke is getting in our eyes... and noses and lungs. Hang in there. The rains will always come around.
And so will the news! Here's your update.

This year on Veteran's Day, we would like to acknowledge and honor all our military personnel, both active and retired. If you are serving or have served, or have immediate family (son, daughter, mother, father) we would like to share a photo at Our Savior's. The photo can be of you/them in uniform or not. Please list your name and branch of service on the back of the photo. 3x5 images are preferred, but we can work with other sizes as well. There will be a special box in the Fireside Room to drop your photos. All pictures will be returned. Please bring them by October 28.
Thank you,
The Military Appreciation Group

August 14 Council Meeting Summary
|
Your church council met Tuesday night to conduct church business. All members were present.
The council approved the proposed budget for operating activities for the 2018-19 fiscal year. The budget includes an increase in revenue in anticipation of increased stewardship and evangelism activities. We will hold a Congregational meeting September 16th after second service for the primary purpose of approving the budget.
To help jump start our Evangelism activities, the council encourages all members current and future to invite people to visit our church. The council also invites all of you to get involved by volunteering to serve on committees or ministries.
The council appointed chairs for property (Dick Cronn); Worship and Music (Patti Ryall and Jeff Hook); and Education (Fran Gray). We are looking for volunteers to chair Stewardship, Evangelism, Missions, Fellowship and Physical/Spiritual Wellness Ministries. We invite you to come to Rally Sunday activities between services on September 9th to learn more about these ministries, their work and activities, and how you can take part.
The council reaffirmed our commitment to governing and to tying all decisions to our vision and mission statements and to our goals.
Copies of the proposed budget along with a narrative will be available in the Narthex on Sunday August 19. The council expresses its appreciation to Jeff Hook for taking pictures of the council members to update the council picture board in the hallway.
