Help Send Our Youth to New Orleans

Help send our Youth to New Orleans in two special ways!

In Jackson Square, the crossroads of New Orleans’ French Quarter, there will be a big kettle to fill with quarters. Our goal as an ELCA Youth Gathering is a ONE MILLION DOLLAR offering to combat hunger. That equals $30 per youth attendee. Thank you for your gifts this Sunday!

Could you be a prayer partner for one of our youth (Nylan Hynek, Tom Dereszynski, Ariel Watson, Brittney Dolan, Elise Hynek, and Brittany Taylor)? We ask for members to send the group, along with adult leaders Jessica Zinniel and Pastor Jolivette, with daily prayers. Put your name and prayer partner on a pew card on Sunday, and remember to read our blog, which will be updated daily on our website. Thank you!

Prayer Shawls Needed For August Assembly

Looking for something to keep hands busy at productive work? Looking to contribute to the work of Goodsoil at the upcoming churchwide assembly? You can contribute significantly to the advocacy and graceful engagement work at the ELCA churchwide assembly by providing a prayer shawl.

These shawls will be for use in the chapel area and to remind participants to prayerfully consider every issue. The shawls can be quilted, woven, crocheted, or knit. The size should be about 72″ x 18″. The design is left up to the person creating the piece.

Project/pattern information is available at goodsoil.org.

Fashion Cornucopia Saturday, Oct. 10th

Fashion Cornucopia 2009 will be Saturday, October 10th. We will have two great shows of fall & winter fashions along with an exquisite meal prepared by our own CFS Team (and served by the handsome OSLC Men’s Club).

Please contact the WCC if you are interested in volunteering.

Our Savior’s Participating in AMOS Share the Bounty Program

“Share the Bounty” is a program being sponsored by the Food Insecurity Task Force of AMOS. The idea for the program is for La Crosse area residents to share their “extra” produce and/or to plant more produce to share with those residents who do not have the opportunity to raise their own fresh food.

Drop-off sites have tentatively been established, with details to follow (OSLC will be a drop-off site on Tuesdays from 1-6 pm). In the meantime, plan on sharing your extra produce, or better yet, plant a little more and receive great joy in sharing with your fellow residents the wholesomeness of fresh food.

Come For Supper Inspiring New Meal Sites

The Come For Supper Program at Our Savior’s has been honored by having not only one but two NEW meal sites named after them!

St. Peter’s Evangelical in Prairie Du Chien has started serving meals the third Thursday of the month. Their first meal served 40 guest and their second served 85! Because they have had overwhelming support of donations and volunteers, they are planning on serving every Thursday night in the near future.

Living Hope Lutheran in Ettrick will be serving their Come For Supper meal on the third Sunday of the month. Their first meal was in June.

Please join the OSLC Come For Supper Team as we wish them great success in enriching the lives of the people who live in their communities.
