●The Gospel of Mark “Actions speak louder than
words.” This seems to be the motto Mark
had in mind as he wrote his gospel, for he focuses primarily on Jesus’
deeds. Come and join us as we study this
gospel where Christ is portrayed as the servant of God. Our goal will be to use Jesus as our model so
that we can learn how to live for God and die to self. Lou Bertolini will
serve as the instructor. The class will meet in Room 17 starting September 18.

My friends at Our Savior,
Thank you so very much for the wonderful reception
held for me on August 29th.
I feel blessed to have served at Our Savior in Family
Ministry for the past six years.
I truly enjoyed the personal contact with so many of
you that morning, and thank you for the wonderful cards and generous
gifts. Even though I am no longer on the
staff at OSLM, I do look forward to many years of continued service with you
together.
Dee Christopher
