There is Still Time to Give
Thank you for all of your financial support to Our Savior's Lutheran Church this year. Your support has enabled us to hold weekly worship services, visit our members that are shut-in or having health challenges, provide a lively youth group, hold dynamic regular Faith Formation instruction for younger children, give to local and international ministries, and so much more.
It is not too late to make a donation for 2018, if you haven't already, to help us finish strong. If you have already contributed, please consider making an additional year-end gift. We are having a really great year and your additional contribution will enable us meet our budget and start 2019 strong. Please consider
contributing online today! Thank you.

Our Savior's Call Committee
The Board will be assembling a broadly representative team of people who love the Lord, love Our Savior's, and can work collaboratively in a group. The Call Committee will have training and orientation, and on-going support from the Synod office.
Serving on the Call Committee will take a significant amount of time over several months. The Call Committee sets its own schedule, but individual members must be willing to give this high priority on their personal calendar. If this sounds like something that calls to you, please tell us a little more. If interested in serving, please contact the church office and a "Call Committee Form" will be sent to you. Otherwise, forms are available on the Welcome Desk in the Gathering Area. Completed forms are due in the church office by December 30, 2018.
