New Kids' Sunday School During the 9am Service
|
This Sunday, the Kids' Sunday School Leaders will escort the children from the sanctuary before the opening hymn. We ask parents to pick up their children after worship in the Fireside Room downstairs.
Prefer to stay in the sanctuary? Children's activity sheets and bags of crayons are available on the table in the back of the sanctuary. The Littlest Lutherans Lookout is upstairs if needed.
At 10am, there are activities for all ages -- fellowship, Adult Learning and Kids' Activities.
See below for more information about toolkits and the upcoming prayground.

Amazon Wish List for Children's Ministry
|
We are excited to bring forward a lot of really great things for kids on Sunday mornings at Our Savior's! We are needing to stock items to create toolkits for children who remain in worship, build a prayground in the sanctuary, replace old items in the nursery and the Littlest Lutherans Lookout, as well as build up our Godly Play space. To make this happen, we have put together an Amazon Wish List. Peruse the list and select items you’d like to purchase, and they will be sent directly to Our Savior’s! Your gifts will help us make church more accessible to children of all ages! Anything helps, and we thank you for supporting the children of Our Savior's Lutheran Church!

Sit Listen Write
Wednesdays at 6pm, Starting 9/18
Choir Room
|
If you don't know what's on your subliminal mind you just need a new prompt and 10 minutes of time. Come join us for Sit. Listen. Write.
We'll meet weekly, beginning on Wednesday September 18 at 6:00 pm. and continue until Advent recess.
This is not poetry but can become a poem not prose or creative writing but may end up being just that. It only takes listening and responding. You may be surprised what is on your mind and the minds of your friends in the group.
Sometimes we laugh, sometimes we cry, and sometimes we become so hysterical
we may have to leave the room to simply stopped laughing!
No talent needed just paper and pen and a group of friends. This will be led by Rev. Sarah France.

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.

What is Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Services Doing to Help?
|
The images and reports coming from the detention centers on the border are horrific. Little kids are in cages comforting each other because no one is taking care of them. They're sleeping on concrete floors, and many of them are sick, scared, and alone.
The stories have shocked much of America, and people like you want to know how to help these vulnerable kids.
Fortunately, LIRS is able to support these migrant children after they have been released from detention—and we need your help now more than ever.
