Sunday’s Radio Broadcast sponsor is Knute & Kaye Meneely in honor of all of God’s Glory.
Today we commission Brynn Jordahl, our new youth minister, at both services. Please keep her in your prayers as she begins her ministry with us.
Our next Charting the Future gathering will be this Sunday 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.
Get to know Brynn, our new youth minister, at an ice cream social provided by the Youth and Family Ministry team on Wednesday, 9/9 at 6pm.
Rally Sunday is September 13. We will be presenting bibles to 3 year olds and 3rd graders, blessing backpacks, and getting excited about the start of the youth ministry program year. Plan to be there!
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 August 16, we have raised $3,335.
