Mobile Meals Needs Drivers

Our Savior’s is responsible for delivering meals to inbound residents in our area four times a year. The months are March, June, August and September. We are currently in need of drivers (and back-up drivers) for deliveries.

The pick-ups are at Gundersen Lutheran Hospital and drivers need to arrive by 11:30 a.m. on delivery day. You may volunteer for one or more days during that week.

To volunteer or if you have any questions or concerns, please contact Betty Linse. Thank you!

RIC Sunday is January 31st

Along with many other RIC congregations across the nation, on Sunday, January 31st we will be reaffirming our commitment as a Reconciling In Christ Congregation.

With a big thank you to Pastor Mark, Pastor Libby Howe (who is the Assistant to the Bishop in our synod and an OSLC member) will be speaking to us on this special day. We will also have a couple of “temple talks” about the positive effects of RIC and OSLC. Also, we may be learning a new song or two. Please mark this date on your calendars and plan on attending this inspirational Sunday!
