From the Pastor ....
"I thank my God every time I remember you."
(Philippians 1:3)
Time flies when you are having fun! On Sunday, Brian and I celebrated our first six months at Our Savior's! We feel so at home at church and in Stillwater.
As many of you are on Spring break trips, this reminds me of a daily prayer I have with Jesus called: T.R.I.P. This acrostic stands for various forms of prayer: Thanks, Regrets, Intercessory, and Praises. Intentionality in our spiritual journey makes a difference in how we interact with others in our everyday lives. This picture was given to me by my maid of honor on my wedding day: today is a good day!
I count my blessings each day to serve here at OSLC! May our journey together continue to be all God dreams for us. God bless you always!

Care of Creation Tip
In gratitude, caring for God's Air, Water, and Land
A Bright Idea
It's fitting that cartoon characters who are getting a new idea are shown with a lightbulb above their heads. Changing our lightbulbs is one idea to reduce our use of electricity, which often is generated by burning fossil fuels that add to climate change.
New LED (light-emitting diode) bulbs are being sold to replace the 100-year-old technology of the incandescent bulb. Here's why. An LED bulb can produce the same amount of light as a 60-watt standard lightbulb with only 7 watts, almost a 90% savings in electricity. LED bulbs also have the advantage of lasting for years longer than the bulbs Thomas Edison designed.
You can get price deals from Xcel Energy for LED bulbs by going to
https://www.xcelenergy.com/programs_and_rebates/residential_programs_and_rebates/lighting/bulb_finder?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI5uCW1tyC6AIVdB6tBh0NfAvfEAAYASAAEgLWDfD_BwE
Let your little (LED) light shine for a better world.
A lot of "just one persons" working together can accomplish mighty things. ~ A message from your OSLC Care of Creation team.
