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 August is “Ready for School” — visit our website or check the lists on the table in the concourse for suggestions.
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.
