Announcements

Sunday’s Radio Broadcast is sponsored by Robert & Arlene Vee in honor of their 51st Anniversary.

Attendance for July 25-26 was 107. The total offering was $4,476

We’ve hired a Youth Director! Brynn Jordahl will be joining our staff at the end of August as Director of Children, Youth, and Family Ministries. Please keep her in your prayers as she prepares to move to Jackson.

Can you help with children’s ministry? We’re looking for adults willing to help both with Wednesday night Lighthouse and a short new Sunday morning children’s ministry that will work with our children during the sermon. Indicate your interest on this weekend’s 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 $100,000 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.
