"Rejoice in the Lord always, again I will say rejoice."

 (Philippians 4:4)

Dear OSLC members and friends,

Last year on Rally Sunday, an LADC family that attends our preschool worshipped with us for the first time. The mom had already enrolled her kids in faith formation. As they approached Our Savior’s that Sunday, they were amazed! There was a party happening! A bounce house, activities for kids, and warm smiling people greeted them. In December, this family joined our church as members. In the Spring of 2022, I was extremely blessed to baptize their youngest child.

Guess what? This year we are having yet another Rally Sunday party! There will be the bounce house, the new playground to enjoy, activities for children and also adults. In the past year, we’ve welcomed 51 new members and this year we’ve welcomed 24 new members! God is so very good! As many are discovering their way around OSLC and all of the opportunities for connection, we are also having an activities fair after both services. Join us for either Traditional worship at 8 am in the sanctuary or 10:30 am contemporary worship in the CLC. After each worship service, the Board is hosting an “activities” fair in the gathering area. A variety of committees will each have a table to share more about ministry opportunities for you: adult choir, Bible studies, clean-up crew, caring for the earth and more! There are even prizes to be won for those that participate in this party. All are welcome! Bring neighbors, friends, family and anyone who may be interested in learning more about OSLC.

See you on Sunday!
