Marriage Anniversary
Thanksgiving
It is a Thanksgiving tradition at
Our Savior to recognize those couples having wedding anniversaries that are
divisible by 5. Let us know in the
church office by tomorrow if your
wedding anniversary should be included in the Thanksgiving Day bulletin. We should praise God and give thanks for all
those who have mastered the art of making a marriage work, especially in these
days when there is so much pressure on any couple. Let us in on your celebration, please.
We are back, better and stronger
than ever. We are your Call Committee and we had our first
re-energize meeting on Monday evening and we are more committed than ever to
search for the Pastor whom God has identified for Our Savior Lutheran.
We have
updated our list of potential candidates and have added five additional names
that came from you. We have forwarded
our new list to the District Office for their concurrence on who is available
and who is not. Once we receive the
information back, we will work our process and come back to you with our next
generation of recommendations.
God has
blessed this congregation many times over and He does have a special person to
take the leadership of our Senior Pastor.
All of the existing Call Committee members have signed up for the second
session with the exception of Jordan Even who is away at school. Taking his place is Alex Parks and we welcome
him to the Committee and are excited that our young people are taking
leadership positions in the congregation.
Thanks Alex.
We will
keep you updated as we go through the next couple of weeks and ask for your
prayers and support in this unique opportunity. Roger

NEWS FROM OUR SCHOOL
Find and
dust off those beautiful nativity sets you have stored away. OSLS
students and their families and members of Our Savior are
asked to bring their Nativity Scenes
to share with others this Advent season.
We will display the crèches along the back windows of the church
sanctuary. We hope to see many different
cultures and countries represented from around the world. No nativity scene will be turned away. If it has special meaning for you, it will be
wonderful to share. Set-up will be on
Monday, November 28, from
