Out of love for our neighbors, we are cancelling public worship at Our Savior's on Sunday, March 15th and Wednesday, March 18th. This is in line with the recommendations from our Governor and the Bishops of the ELCA. New guidelines from the MN Department of Health includes "Event organizers limiting attendance to no more than 10 people for events where the majority of participants are at a higher risk for severe illness from COVID-19." When a global pandemic occurs, it is our most vulnerable that we need to protect.

 

As a faithful community, I will offer instead a Facebook Livestream devotion on Sunday morning at 9 AM. We will gather together virtually via the internet for prayer, song and a message. You do not need a Facebook account to experience this devotional time. It will also be found on our website: www.oslcstillwater.org in the bottom right corner of our home page. This devotion will also be archived and accessible after the livestream. Additionally, all of the sermons since September are also found on our website-simply click on the "sermons" box.

 

While we will not meet for public worship on Sunday, we still have expenses at Our Savior's. If this situation does not impact your finances, we encourage your continued financial support at the church. Thank you for your generosity.

 

As this situation evolves, stay tuned for further announcements about worship and programming schedules.

 

In this time of uncertainty, Presiding Bishop Eaton also offers a word of comfort and counsel. Here is her video response to COVID-19.
