We are looking for 1-3 volunteers to help check people in for their appointments, please contact Sarah Smith if you are able and willing to help out.
FALL FAMILY FUN NIGHT
The Our Savior Parents Teachers & Friends (PTF) organization will be hosting a Fall Family Fun night on Friday, October 20th. The event will begin at 6:00pm with a trunk or treat in the upper parking lot, and will move inside at 6:30 for a short movie, snacks, and a costume parade!
The basic idea behind “trunk or treat” is that families decorate the trunks of their cars, and the children go from car to car collecting candy, small trinkets, or playing games. If you are unfamiliar with trunk or treat – we encourage you to look online for fun ideas. Costumes and trunk decorating are encouraged – however, please remember to use sound Christian judgment when selecting costumes and décor. You do not need to decorate a trunk to participate. The event is FREE and open to all Our Savior, St. Matthew’s, and St. John’s families and friends. A signup sheet is located in the back of church. Please sign up by Monday, October 16th.
CLERGY APPRECIATION MONTH
October is Clergy Appreciation Month. Please take this opportunity to thank and encourage Pastor Wagner, Staff Minister Hering, Pastor Kelm, and Jeremiah Backhaus for their faithful service at Our Savior.
2018 CALENDARS
God’s Creation Wall Calendars are available for purchase on the back table. They are $7.00. There are envelopes on top of the calendars where you can place your payment.
