Join us for hamburgers, hot dogs and brats, lemonade, ice cream and other shared dishes. There will also be games for all ages after lunch. There will be a Free Will Offering basket. No need to sign up to attend; just come and enjoy the delicious food and fellowship!
Summer Sermon Series – FAITH IN ACTION
So what leap of faith is God asking you to make? Whatever it is, remember that WHO is asking you to make that leap is greater than WHAT leap He’s asking you to make! When we review the lives of those who are listed as examples of the faithful, we are amazed – by God’s leadership more than by their response. These people were like us, yet they were led by his divine plan. Sometimes they believed beyond anything we’ve experienced. Other times they doubted. Still, the One to whom they entrusted their lives never wavered or failed them. God’s promises hold us secure, every day in every way.
Proverbs: A Wise Man Once Said… – June 25 – September 3.
Adult Sunday Morning Study at 9:15am. A thrilling experience awaits you as we soak in the hot tub of wisdom. The Book of Proverbs, though about 3,000 years old, is yet wondrously up to date. Furnishes pragmatic, ethical, moral, and religious counsels for everyday living. Its pithy sayings are permeated with elegant advice, sound judgment, the wisdom of ages, the distillation of experience, and Spirit-given directives for right living. The wisdom discussed in the Book of Proverbs is more than good judgment, more than uncommon common sense, more than right action in conformity with worldly prudence, more than intellectual acumen. True wisdom is moral excellence. It is wisdom that has rectitude in it, the fiber of which is righteousness and holiness. In Proverbs, wisdom is the attitude of the heart which puts God first as man’s rightful guide and master.

VOLUNTEER OPPURTUNITY
Our Savior Lutheran School, with the help of our PTF, has made a goal to increase student involvement in our community. Not only is this a great opportunity to tell others about Jesus, but it is a chance for our students to learn the value of volunteerism. Here are some easy opportunities this summer for both students and parents to get involved:
- Create Prayer Stones at The Ozaukee County Fair (Friday, August 4) – Take 2 hours out of your day to help children decorate stones and learn about the power of prayer! We need four parents and eight students to help out for two hours each from 2:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m. We’ll provide the activity, supplies and instructions, you just show up and help out. Sign up at church or by contacting Chad Bloedel at 920-960-0586.
- Call other OSLS Parents about our Riveredge Outing – Since there is an educational component to this exciting outing in August, Riveredge is requesting an estimate of attendance. We need a few volunteers to call each of our families in the next few weeks. A short script will be provided. Please contact Chad Bloedel at 920-960-0586 if you can assist.
