OSLC Health & Operations Committee Updates |
|
Indoor, in person worship has resumed! We are gathering in the building for worship, utilizing the sanctuary, the narthex and the south wing as worship spaces to allow for social distancing.
We continue to mask in care of our neighbors and use communion elements brought from home, or our prepackaged ones available each Sunday. Thank you for being a caring, compassionate and faithful community!
We will continue to monitor local and national COVID-19 infection rates to make informed judgements regarding building use, and remain proactive in communicating any changes as they become necessary. In the meantime, please use the following guidelines inside the building:
- Visits to the church should be made by appointment. Contact the OSLC office to arrange building access (office@oslcslc.org or 801-278-1412).
- Wear a mask, practice social distancing, and maintain effective sanitation. Masks, wipes, and hand sanitizer are available.
- Bring your own Holy Communion elements. If wine or grape juice is problematic, receiving bread/crackers is just fine.
Click here for a message from OSLC Council President, Tristan Abbott, regarding current procedure.
The latest information about COVID-19 is available from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and local authorities by visiting cdc.gov or coronavirus.utah.gov.
Click here for a message from Salt Lake County Mayor Jenny Wilson regarding the current status of the COVID-19 pandemic and our role in mitigating elevated infection rates.

December Senior Spotlight |
|
Meet Doris Long
Q: Where were you born?
I was born in Lacrosse, Wisconsin, I lived on a farm with my parents, 2 sisters and one brother. After graduating from nursing school, I worked at a hospital. I met my husband Cecil, also from Wisconsin. Cecil worked for the VA hospitals, as Chief of Building management. He was later transferred to Utah. We were married for 46 years, until he passed away. We have 3 daughters all who live in Utah, 2 live in the SLC area, one lives in Logan. I have 2 grandsons and 1 granddaughter.
Q: Before retirement, how did you spend your time?
I worked for the University of Utah Hospital for 20 plus years as a nurse, I also worked in the Cardiac ICU when we had the 1st Heart Transplant patient. I retired in1995. After we retired, we bought a RV and traveled throughout Utah and visited the beautiful National Parks. We also spent our time traveling to Texas, New Mexico and Arizona in our RV. I sold our home and moved to a condo in 2012. I enjoy reading and knitting hats for donating, and making blankets for Project Linus.
What's one fact that people are always surprised to learn about you?
I write poetry.
Q: How did you find OSLC? How long have you been a member? What do you love about the community here?
I volunteered at Project Linus and became friends with Carol Holmes and she invited me to worship service. I've been a member for about 4 years. I love that everyone is friendly. I also enjoyed the members who delivered cookie tins last year at Christmas, so delicious, and the meal last month for Thanksgiving.
Q: You’ve been a member of senior luncheons. What do you enjoy about this activity?
I love the food and the friendliness of the people.
Q: How have you kept in touch with family and friends during this unusual Covid-19 pandemic? What has kept you going during quarantine? Have you picked up any new hobbies or spent your time in new and different ways?
I’ve kept in touch with family and friends by telephone and Zoom. My daughter brought me groceries every week. Zoom was a new thing for me for my family chats and using it for church services and knitting hats.

Mill Creek Elementary Pantry
Mill Creek Elementary supports a diverse, multi-ethnic population of 350 students (35% Latinx, 30% white, 35% other ethnicity) speaking 24 different languages and dialects. 60% of the students are on free or reduced lunch and the pantry at Mill Creek Elementary feeds 40-50 families each week.
Due to state budget constraints, Mill Creek Elementary does not receive any subsidized funding for assistance feeding the children. Their pantry serves about 25 families per week, with an average of 3 children per family.
Mary Bowman and Marion Lennberg returned from Mill Creek this week and had a list of items that the pantry currently needs:
- Toothpaste/toothbrushes
- Toilet paper/paper towels

- Hand soap, body soap

Thank you for your care and generosity! There will be additional opportunities to volunteer at the school as well once we can be in person. For more information contact Pastor Brigette (pastor@oslcslc.org).
