We are grateful for all Fathers and all those who share fatherly care. Your work, your commitment and your affection are all great gifts to us all! This is a day to celebrate, and yet it is also a day to recognize the hard work of love. Sometimes there’s joy and laughter, sometimes there is pain and tears.
In all the experiences of family we bring with us today, we see the Spirit at work sustaining, forgiving and redeeming.
God bless the dads among us!

Sunday Mornings and Kids
Big Plans for the Fall
|
When we say Our Savior’s Lutheran Church is
A Place for EveryOne
, we mean it! Taryn, Lindsey, and the CYFM committee have been meeting with parents of young children and children’s ministry leaders over the past couple months to discern our current model and how we might be able to improve on our programs. We want to offer choices for families in order to meet them where they’re at and their individual needs, so there will be some new elements included inside worship and out.
We are exploring a potential new model for children’s ministry, and we invite anyone who’s interested to attend a demo, “What is Godly Play?” with Missioner Joy Studer on Sunday, July 7 after worship. Come and see what the program is, ask questions, and help us decide if this is a model we want to use. We look forward to continuing to partner with all of you in this process!
For more information,
email Taryn Hauglie
, Director of Children, Youth and Family Ministries here at Our Savior's.

Did You Know?
Keeping the Playground and Outdoor Nature Park in Great Shape!
|
We are thankful to have two playgrounds for EveryOne to enjoy at Our Savior’s. Please remind your children about the safety rules in these spaces. We want to keep everyone safe and keep the playgrounds in good condition.
- Teach your children to keep the sand and sand toys in the sandbox.
- Please do not move the sitting benches. They are too heavy for the staff to keep moving back in the best 'viewing' places.
- Please teach your children to pick up their garbage and put it in the inside garbage cans or in the outside garbage can in the Nature Park.
- Groups of all ages using the Outdoor Nature Park should take their trash with them after using the Outdoor Nature Park.
- Before leaving for home, please walk out to the playground or Nature Park and make sure your child has put things away in its proper place.
- Children under the age of six years old should not be unsupervised in the playground.
- Children under ten years old should not be unsupervised in the Outdoor Nature Park.

Need Help with Wheelchair, Walkers and Scooters?
|
- Look for the designated spaces reserved for wheelchairs and scooters on the level floor along the stained-glass walls.
- We can bring Holy Communion to you if you'd rather not navigate the aisle.
- We can help fold and park walkers between the pews and keep the aisles clear.
We want to make sure EveryOne can participate, feel included, see the screen, enjoy the company of family and friends in worship. The ushers can help guide you to these areas.

Our Savior's is a Welcoming Community. We affirm with the apostle Paul that in Christ "there is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female"
-Galatians 3:28. Christ has made us one. We are committed to extending this welcome to EveryOne without regard to gender identity, sexual orientation, race, age, socio-economic status, disability, political association, marital status, education or ethnic origin. God's reconciling love in Christ is at work in EveryOne.
