Thursday, April 5^th Service Location

Please note that due to some Stucco repair in the church we will be holding our regular Thursday 7:00pm worship in the Fellowship Hall on April 5^th.  Sunday worship will be in the church.

For Maundy Thursday – Think ahead for next week:   Mediator of a New Covenant. 

“No longer will they teach their neighbor, or say to one another, ‘Know the Lord,’ because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest.” His name “the Lord” emphasizes God’s free and faithful love. People in the Old Testament knew God’s love, but the fullest revelation of it lay in the future. In his Word and as we observe Lent, we are blessed to have seen the greatness of God’s love as he offers his Son unto death for our sins. We know the glory of God’s saving love. Let us grow in that knowledge and show the world what we know.

Divine Call Update

On Sunday, March 18, 2018 Our Savior Lutheran Church extended a part time, one year call to Mrs. Emily Platzer to teach first and second grade and music.  Mrs. Platzer and her husband Aaron are presently serving their Vicar year in Ohio.  They will return for the 2018 – 2019 school year for his Senior year at Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary in Mequon.  Keep them in your prayers as she considers her position in our ministry here at Our Savior Lutheran church and school.

Adult Chorale Concert

The Kettle Moraine Lutheran Adult Chorale will present a sacred concert with the theme “In Christ Alone.”  The concert will be on Sunday, April 8, 4:00pm, at Peace Lutheran Church, 1001 Center Str., Hartford, WI.  A free-will offering will be taken.

For Lent 6 – Think ahead for next week:   He Makes Us into Priests

Jesus was correct when he proclaimed himself to be the Way, the Truth, and the Life—no one could come to the Father except through him. Unlike the old veil that blocked the way to God and sealed the entrance to God’s presence, Jesus opens the way, inviting sinners to enter God’s presence. “Come to me,” he says, “all you who are weary and burdened” (Mt 11:28). And he promises, “Whoever comes to me I will never drive away” (Jn 6:37). All who come to the Father by faith in Christ—trusting that the sins they committed in thought, word, and deed, and the sins they could not get rid of by themselves are paid for in full—find free access to God.
