Years ago Our Savior had the tradition
of taking a loaf of “homemade bread” to the homes of those who visited with us
in church on a Sunday.
This month
Our Savior will begin a similar program of responding to our Sunday morning
visitors which will be called BREAD
MAKERS AND BREAD TAKERS. A loaf of
bread and a package of dry soup will be left as a gift along with information
about our church.
Two kinds of volunteers are needed for
this outreach effort:
1) Bread Makers – those who would make a loaf of
“homemade bread” [bread machines are okay] and deliver it to the church office
by
2) Bread Takers – members who would take the
bread and soup in a special bag to the home of the visitors between 3 and
We probably will need 2-3 Bread Makers
and 2-3 Bread Takers per week. You can
do both jobs if you want!
To sign up or for more info, contact
Steve Christopher at 447-1246, x 228. Special training meeting tomorrow, Jan. 9, at

IT’S TIME FOR THE MEAT BOWL!
The Men of Our Savior will gather at
the home of Mark McDonald on Sunday,
January 22 – this time for the first annual Meat Bowl (BBQ and the last round of the NFL Play-offs). We’ll meet in the early afternoon (specific
time will be announced, based on the game schedule for that day) for the two
conference championship football games, where the winners go to the Superbowl.
We’ll have
plenty of meat! Mark is also planning
for some “team specific” dishes! Come
and see if there is Clam Chowder (in honor of the New England Patriots) or Ribs
(in honor of the Indianapolis Colts) or ???
We will
also enjoy a time of fellowship and there will be things for the uninterested
Football Fan. We’ll do some planning for
the Easter Breakfast sponsored by the men of Our Savior and look further into
the idea of an Our Savior Men’s Retreat.
Cost will
be your free-will donation to help cover expenses. You do need to RSVP to Steve Christopher in
the church office at 447-1246, ext. 228, no later than Tuesday, January
