Hey church family, we are still not up and running to stream worship this weekend. If that changes, we will film, but we just wanted to let you know in advance. This is still due to some of our tech outages from the lightning strike last weekend. Thanks for your patience and understanding.

Wednesday Evening Update: The web says Tastefully Roasted is open until 9 PM, but I’ve just discovered that the sign on the door says they close at 6 PM. I’ll hang out at the cookie store next door for a little while.

This week, I’ll be hanging out at Tastefully Roasted Coffee on Oakwood Ave on:

* Wednesday, May 20, from 7:30 PM to 8:30 PM

* Thursday, May 21, from 1:30 PM to 2:30 PM

Stop by and say hello. I’m open to talking about anything: how you’re doing; what’s going on in the community and/or our church; next weekend’s Bible lessons; or, we can just gripe about swings in the weather!

Pastor, Lutheran Church of Our Savior

We have been in a series of weekly mini-retreats that we have dubbed Grace Gatherings. We've been meeting weekly on Wednesdays at 7 pm in the Blue Room. These sessions are a meaningful way for our community to come together, explore spirituality, and feel supported. Your presence truly helps us build a stronger, more connected community.

Tomorrow at 7 pm, we are hosting a guest speaker. Pastor Mallory Morris from Good Shepherd Lutheran Church will be leading a session on Spirituality and Photography. We hope many of you can join us. Supporting these events shows appreciation for the speakers' efforts and encourages more enriching gatherings in the future.

We will have two more sessions for this series:

May 6th- The Spirituality of Grief led by Ginger Minneman

May 13th- Spirituality and Healing, led by Laurie Fenstermacher

The link to sign up to bring a dessert to share is below. We are seeking 1-2 people each week to contribute, and your participation can make each gathering feel more welcoming. Please consider volunteering to help make these moments special for everyone.
