“I was glad when they said to me,

‘let us go to the house of the Lord’.”

(Psalm 122:1)

Dear OSLC members and friends,

Last week, Brian and I toured various gyms in Stillwater. Although we have athletic equipment at home, there is a longing for community. When we walked into one gym in particular, there was this feeling of, ‘home.” We were members there pre-pandemic. We were greeted by people we know. It just felt “right” to join again—and so we did.

On Sunday, we also had a new member class at OSLC. During the class, I asked each new member, “if you could summarize in one word or phrase what it is that is drawing you here, what would it be?” The word, “community,” and “welcoming,” were repeated. Other participants commented, that “there is a lot of life here. You see people getting involved of all ages.” The youngest at the table, a youth said, “this place is full of joy.”

Are you longing for deeper friendships and connections here at Our Savior’s? If so, mark your calendars for Friday, June 16th at 6:30 PM. We will have “Game Night,” in the CLC. Bring your favorite board games and a snack to share. This is also a great night to invite a neighbor or friend.

Faithfully,

Pastor Karna

A Farewell Word from Our Faith Community Nurse

Dear Our Savior's Lutheran Church, 

My final day working at OSLC is Sunday, June 11. I want to take a moment to thank each and every one of you for the opportunity to serve here at OSLC. It is difficult to put into words what a gift serving as your Faith Community Nurse has been, being a part of this community has been amazing and humbling and truly an answer to prayer. What wonderful gifts God gives! 

I am so excited to see the plans God has for OSLC unfold when the position is filled! Thank you for welcoming our family into your community. I am so thankful we can continue to be a part of OSLC!
