LENT – LOOKING AHEAD
This year the Lenten season begins a little later than normal, arriving with Ash Wednesday on March 6. As we look forward to Easter (and spring) with longing, we know that we still have to the make the journey called “his passion.” To walk with Jesus along the way of commitment, the road to the cross, is to comprehend his mercy and grace. There, when we have finally arrived at Good Friday and seen his atoning sacrifice, we will also find our peace and strength. Let us go with him to the cross and hear him say, “It is finished!”
Our Savior Night Announced
The Board of Stewardship is pleased to invite all members and friends of Our Savior to our special annual fellowship and activity night on Friday, February 22, beginning at 6 pm. The primary emphasis is FELLOWSHIP. Basketball, volleyball and the “bounce house” will be available in the gym while ping pong and tables for games will also be played in the lower lobby (byog – bring your own game). Snacks and beverages will be provided. There is no cost to attend. Come one, come all… and enjoy the fellowship of brothers and sisters in Christ!
The spring PTF pizza sale
The spring pizza sale will kick off the second week in February. The PTF is looking for someone to shadow Becky Sander as coordinator of this event. She will guide you through the entire sale. It isn’t a difficult process, however, it would be great to learn alongside a long time loyal volunteer so that the PTF is able to continue to have pizza sales next year. Please contact the school office if you would like to consider the position. Be sure to place Saturday, April 6 on your calendar and plan to be at school at 8:30 a.m. to make pizzas.

Registration is now open for students in grades 3K through the eighth grade. We also invite you to visit our classrooms. Contact the school office for more information.
2019 Commitment plan
Each year, the Board of Stewardship asks congregation members to fill out a commitment intent form. The information from this form allows the church to employ a thoughtful, wise financial plan by having an understanding what kinds of gifts can be expected and when to expect them. Most years the form is for regular offerings only. This year one side of the commitment form is for the 2019-2020 Regular Offerings and the other side is for a limited continuation of our current campaign entitled “Hope for Years to Come.” You will find more detailed information and the commitment forms in your church box. Please return your completed forms to the church office, offering plate or the box in the church lobby area no later than Sunday, March 10, 2019.
