Announcements

Sunday’s Radio Broadcast is sponsored by Louise Gregory in memory of Ron.

Attendance for July 18-19 was 101. The total offering was $10,873

Would you rather carry a 100lbs for 350ft and down a flight of stairs or would you rather donate $100? We have been offered a generous donation of a baby grand piano, but it will cost $800 to move that 800 pound instrument! If you can help carry the load, donate 100lbs ($100) or 50lbs ($50) by signing up on the clipboard.

Can you play an instrument or sing? We are looking for those who are interested in offering special music in worship. Please contact Pastor Ted if you would like to help in our worship.

Did you know? We are using some newer music as part of our communion liturgy on Saturday nights.

Our next Charting the Future gathering will be Sunday, August 30 after worship in the Fellowship Hall, where we will be talking about expectations of our leaders, both professional and volunteer. Please plan to join us for the discussion.

Operation Shoebox’s theme for July is “Cook’s Choice” — visit our website or check the lists on the table in the concourse for suggestions.

Make worship more fun — consider purchasing an item from the Amazon wishlist for our Prayground, a place for quiet, faith-filled play during the service: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/17W1YKRYO565B

Financial Update: as of June 30, our income less expenses is short $44,500. At the same time last year, we were short $28,200. Please prayerfully consider how you might financially support the mission of Our Savior’s.

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 July 23, we have raised $2,475.
