Join us for Life, Community and Faith - 5
Monday nights, Sept 16 – Oct 14
Do you want to explore your faith? Journey more deeply into Christ? Be baptized or confirmed? Explore the Episcopal/Anglican tradition? Explore a deeper life of faith and action at Chapel of Our Saviour? Come join us for "Life, Community and Faith."
Led by clergy and lay leaders, Life, Community and Faith explores the fundamentals of the Christian faith and the Anglican tradition. This course is a natural starting point in the lifelong journey of following Jesus and is appropriate for adults at any point in their life of faith. In short presentations and small group discussions, we will explore the Christian faith, share meals together, pray together, and get to know one another better as we journey more deeply into the life of Christ. Because a central aim of this group is the building of community, please plan to attend all 5 sessions.
Registration is required
to attend. To register please email sarah@chapelofoursaviour.com. For questions, please email david@chapelofoursaviour.com

A new feeding ministry team is forming to serve people who are in need in our community. This feeding and service ministry will make use of the new mobile barbecue grill that we have recently fabricated. The mobility of this unit will allow us to
go out
to
those in need and
serve them where they are.
A 10 to 12 person service team is forming. If you would like to learn more about this
exciting new opportunity to serve God’s people, please text Birdie Lowery @ 719-685-9026 or email Birdie at

Back-to-School Backpack Collection
Thank you for your generosity!
Chapel donated 400 packages
of wide ruled notebook paper. Your donations are improving the lives of 600 children and lightening some of their parents’ financial worries in the westside of Colorado Springs. Chapel of Our Saviour in concert with the 21 other Westside Cares (WSC) faith communities donated school supplies to fill 600 backpacks. The backpacks are being delivered to 420 elementary school students and 180 middle/high school students in 22 schools.
A special thanks to Penny, Jody, and Wendell for managing and delivering the collection.
6 Million Steps for Kids
THIS Sunday
, the Rev. Peter Munson will preach at the 8:30 and 10:45 services. He is the former rector of St. Ambrose Episcopal Church, Boulder, and now walks across the United States for 6 Million Steps for Kids. He is raising money for four organizations that serve children: The Episcopal Church in Colorado youth programs; the REMAR Children’s Home and Olive School in La Libertad, El Salvador; Street Fraternity in Denver; and Episcopal Relief & Development integrated early childhood development (children birth to three years old) projects. He hopes to raise as much as $6 million for the good work of these four different organizations — $1 for every step he takes on the walk. The loose plate offering on Aug. 11 will be donated to the 6 Million Steps for Kids Episcopal Church in Colorado youth programs. You can place your donations in envelopes provided for the services on Aug. 11 or you can donate online. You can learn more about the project or make a donation online at
6millionstepsforkids.org.

We’ll be collecting diapers size 2 and up (especially size 6) for distribution by Westside CARES. Diapers are always needed as they cannot be purchased with Food Stamps.

B Street Food Pantry –
Side Dishes for Dinner (Pasta Roni, mac & cheese, canned pasta, instant potatoes, or flavored rice)
Your donations to B Street Food Pantry have a lasting effect. Not only do they feed hungry families, but they enable them to pay rent or utilities when they have to choose between eating or paying the bills. The B Street Food Pantry, a satellite operation of Westside CARES provides a four-day food supply up to six times per year to households demonstrating a genuine need. On Sunday, please put your donation in the basket by the baptismal font. Otherwise, the little red wagon will be just inside the main door of the Parish House and donations may always be dropped off there. If you’d like for us to do the shopping, write B Street Pantry in the notes portion of your donation and put it in the collection plate.

Churches across the nation have been targeted in some rather advanced hacks and email scams. The Diocese of Colorado has provided some helpful tips to help you recognize and prevent potential scams.
- If you receive any emails or texts from Rev. Dill or Rev. Dias or anyone from your church asking for money or gift cards for a charity or person in need, you can be assured that it is a scam. Please call the church and report the attempt to Sarah Carter in the parish office.
- Always double check what comes after the "@" in an email address. Chapel clergy and staff do not use gmail, yahoo, etc. for church business.
- Please report any scam attempts to Sarah at the Chapel office and block the senders e-mail address/phone # from your account.

Would you be willing to drive someone to church
one Sunday a month?
Chapel of Our Saviour has some parishioners who - for one reason or another – need rides to church on Sunday. While we have a regular group of drivers who are very faithful and wonderful, we have a need for a few more once a month regulars and for some who could even be occasional fill ins. If this ministry speaks to you, please contact Cathy Sterling
