A Message from Pastor Sell |
|
|
|
And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:18-20
Splash! In the name of the Father, Splash, and of the Son, Splash, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen

By the end of the month, our Lord will have called three children into His kingdom through Holy Baptism. It's always good to remember our own baptisms when we have baptisms in the church.
We believe it, we teach it to our children and we confess it to the world that God performs the miracle of water and Word as the Holy Spirit is given to the baby and creates faith in that child's heart. Then, into the faith Christ pours into it the forgiveness of sins and life everlasting.
That's why parents and grandparents keep pushing you to get your child baptized. It is the gift of eternal life.

Baptism and Lord's Supper are the Gospel
These are the means by which Christ gives forgiveness. When you are down and wonder if God loves you, remember that you are a baptized child of God. When you need strength to endure and get through a tough time in life, don't forget that you recently received the resurrected body and blood of Christ and He poured forgiveness in that gift.
These are the ways that the Lord fulfills His promise to you, "to be with you always until the very end of the age."

NEWS, EVENTS AND ACTIVITIES |
|
The Trustees of OSL have been busy!
New Roof - $43,820
Tuck Pointing $16,000
Poly-Jacking Sidewalks $1,400
As we have talked about in the past our buildings are aging, and we have been doing our best to maintain and update them.
|
|
WINDOWS - The Trustees have also approved replacing our windows on the parking lot side and the two on the other side of the church (around the corner from the organ). Our old windows are single pane windows that are ready to be replaced, as they are original aluminum windows from 1964. Our new windows will be double paned, gas sealed and will provide much better insulation. Furthermore, there will be fewer obstructions so that when we hang the stained glassed windows in the interior they will shine brightly. Thank God to the private donors who provided us with a portion of matching gift seed money.
|
|
SCHOOL ROOF - We have been patching here and there for years, yet the leaks persist. Often it depends how much rain we get and where the wind pushes the water. Too often this past year our principal, our maintenance personnel and trustees have scrambled to clean up in the morning as school starts. So, this isn't a surprise. We knew we were finally going to have to replace the roof over the entire school building.
The funding for this project was already "banked" and is a portion of the funds that we took out when we refinanced our loans a couple years ago. We saved money on the refinancing because interest rates had dropped considerably, so our monthly mortgage payment went down.
|
|
TUCK POINTING - Thanks to one of our school parents, when we sought bids to have this work done, they were happy to provide a considerable discount. Their bid was half of the other bids we received. As we have dealt with the roof issues over the years we knew this project was on the schedule. With such a bid, we decided to get it done this summer.
|
|
POLY JACKING - We have areas in our sidewalks where there are serious shift of the pads. We have had two people fall in the last couple of months because of these. Both sidewalks are in areas with heavy traffic, so we will get this done this summer as well.

|
Thanks for your understanding, but as anyone who has owned a home, the upkeep is important. |
