"For if anyone is in Christ, they are a new creation.

The old has passed, behold the new has come."

 (2 Corinthians 5:17)

Dear OSLC members and friends,

Today is my favorite holiday. This happens to be the day that my husband Brian was born. Although today is a special day, he always tries to make the most out of each day this life offers. Quality time is Brian’s “love language.” Brian could watch paint dry, but if he is with a friend or family member, he would find joy in the moment to spend time with people he loves. In other words, Brian is an abundant thinker. He sees the good in others and looks for ways to experience joy. While today is his birthday, every day is an occasion for celebration.

This past Sunday also felt like a true celebration at Our Savior’s! Our youth shared from the heart about their transformational experience serving God in Boston. We had a beautiful baptism for a newborn at the 8 am worship. Carmel rolls were an extra special treat during coffee hour. Faith Formation and Time for Parents met. It was a joy to see new life and what a new school year brings!

If you haven’t had a chance to hear about our youth’s mission trip, they will share again on Wednesday. All are welcome to the meal at 5 pm and worship at 5:30 pm. What a joy that we can celebrate the life and community here at Our Savior’s. God is so very good!
