Many thanks for keeping our church grounds beautiful!
Volunteers were busy on the church grounds last month preparing for Easter Sunday! They
finished painting the white parking lot lines at the back of our lot. They also repainted yellow curbs,
handicap
bumpers and areas near the mailboxes. These areas were in great need of painting so we are all thrilled to have this team's help.
Pictured below:

We also have a special thanks to give to Bill Blake, Jim Currey and Jim Klug who took time on a beautiful Saturday to clean some gutters around Our Saviour. We have some pretty great members and OSLC!

Upcoming Musical Performances at OSLC

Violinist Erika Atchley to play Sunday, April 29
Erika Atchley, violinist, currently with the N.C. Symphony Orchestra will be coming to OSLC on April 29 and
playing during the 10 a.m. service. Ms. Atchley has been featured as a concerto soloist with the Park Avenue
Chamber Orchestra and the Bar Harbor Festival Chamber Orchestra. She has toured throughout Europe and the
United States as a chamber musician. Ms. Atchley currently lives in Raleigh, NC with her 10 year old son who
also loves to play the violin.
LYRA Choral Concert, Join us Friday, April 27
LYRA, an a cappella group of five professional vocalists from St. Petersburg, Russia, will present a concert of Russian choral music at Our Saviour on Friday, April 27 at 7 p.m. The first part of the concert, sacred music of the Russian Orthodox church, includes ancient songs to works of famous masters and little known but remarkable Russian composers of the 18th - 20th centuries. The second part of their program is made up of Russian folk songs: comic, lyric, dancing, love songs.
This is a unique opportunity to share the enormous Russian musical heritage. Come and enjoy the sounds of Russia as interpreted by real Russians. All the singers are professionals singing in different professional choirs and opera houses of St. Petersburg.
Some of our fellow Lutherans really enjoyed their performance:
"The sound from these five excellent singers was awesome. They invoked the solemnity of a Russian church during the liturgical portion of the program. Their dynamic range is incredible with every note heard in perfect pitch, even in the very
soft sections of the music. Their volume seemed to be that of 20 singers in the loud portions.
"The folk song portion of the program was enthusiastically received by the audience and many a toe was set to tapping. The members of LYRA were just as enthusiastic in their performance. What is amazing is that each member of the group is an accomplished soloist in their own right and yet they perform as tightly knit ensemble."
Zion Lutheran Church, Weatherly, PA
A freewill offering will be taken to benefit the Northern Moore Family Resource Center.
