VERSE OF THE MONTH

This year’s Spiritual Growth Plan focuses on prayer. Ponder a verse and a comment on the blessing of prayer from your Spiritual Growth Committee: 1Chronicles 16:11 “Look to the Lord and his strength; seek his face always.” We need to look to the Lord always and see in the Word all he has done for us.

August Sermon Series

Isn’t summertime, sunshine and the green growth in Wisconsin amazing?  From the rain and rays (actually, from the Creator) comes a growing plant. As summer progresses we witness the cycle of life, from start to finish, from little to big, from seed to fruit.  This same cycle occurs in the life of a believer, as faith is planted by the Gospel, it is watered and nurtured and then comes the abundant fruit.  God loves to gather his children together and raise a garden of good things.  Seeing this cycle reminds us that we can’t rush the process by which fruit appears in our lives.

BEFORE AND AFTER SCHOOL CARE

Our Savior Lutheran School will be offering before and after school care for the 2019/2020 school year.  This program will run from 6:00am to 8:15am and again from 3:15pm to 6:00pm.  Watch for cost details in the weeks to come.  Please contact the Board of Christian Education Chairman Nick Matter with any questions you may have.

GIFT CARD COLLECTION FOR THE FISCHER FAMILY

Mrs. Heidi Fischer has accepted the call to serve as our 1^st & 2^nd Grade teacher here at Our Savior.  As a welcome gift, it has been decided to collect Scrip gift cards for them.  We will be selling Scrip gift cards for the Fischer’s during the month of July after services in the narthex and present the gift cards to them when Mrs. Fischer is installed in August. Any cards you select to purchase for them is fine.  When ordering Scrip, just let us know which cards are for the Fischer family.
