Want a piano? The Council is giving away three pianos that the congregation no longer needs. Please talk to Pastor Ted for details.

Morning Prayer Livestreams. As an experiment in shared prayer, Pastor Ted & Jennifer are offering a brief Facebook livestream of Morning Prayer daily, (usually, schedule permitting) starting around 8 or 9am.

Help fund necessary repairs to our roof and electrical system by contributing to our newly launched capital campaign! Our goal is to raise $50,000 by the end of 2026. Designate your gift to “Capital Campaign.” Thank you for helping to keep Our Savior’s safe and dry! As of June 30, we have raised $1,525.
