Fun with Knots-Sailor Skills

a sailor's life for me...maybe not.
But we enjoyed an afternoon of fun learning to make sailor knots. The monkey's wrist and a lovely cross with the Shamrock knot. Thank you so much to the Board of Social Ministry for the gigles and a big thanks to Ben for sharing his skills with us.

Pastor Parent “begins the first day of year #6 “stated by the Board President Alex Franco. Your congregation: we are honored that you said yes to a call to serve as our Pastor. The cake and the food we shared was amazing!

Bradley Bien was recognized for 25 years as a member of the Church Council of Our Savior Evangelical Lutheran Church. He served in many positions of the Board including president and vice-president. We thank you Brad so much for your support, compassion and all the contributions you have made to our church. See you Sunday!

School Drive 2024

Many thanks to those who donated to the school supplies drive; it all was much appreciated by the teachers for the benefit of the children! Emily & Jennifer did a wonderful job organizing, planning, and executing this outreach to our neighbor at a time in the school year when their supplies start to run low.

Outstanding!

Loving and serving God through love and service to our neighbors!

Thank you Brad!
