Synod Assembly RIC Table

Our Savior’s has a wonderful opportunity to spread the word about becoming a Reconciling In Christ church at the Synod Assembly on May 28 – 30th at Luther College in Decorah, Iowa. We have been granted space for a display table to tell our story. We need volunteers to work the table and tell our story to others who have questions. Would you be willing to help? If you are interested, please contact Pastor Mark or Rod Tisthammer.

Layette Kits Available

Lutheran World Relief distributes layettes to new mothers in nearly 20 countries. During a recent five year period, over 225,000 layettes were distributed. The most amazing fact is that each layette was provided by someone much like you, a caring member of a congregation just like OSLC!!

Layette Kits are available in the Narthex on Sunday May 10th. They are due back on Rally Sunday, September 13th. Each layette kit should include the following:

• Two shirts
• Two gowns or sleepers
• Two receiving blankets
• Four cloth diapers
• Two wash cloths
• One bath-size bar of soap
• Two diaper pins

Items can be new or used. Be sure to check out the rummage sales this summer. Used items must be clean and in good repair. Receiving blankets and diapers may be made of flannel. Please vary the sizes of clothing (up to 24 months) so the layettes will continue to be useful as the baby grows.

The Social Ministry Team would like to thank Vera Wensole, Margaret Turner and Shirley Atkinson for knitting the beautiful sweaters. They look GREAT!

Any questions and/or concerns may be directed to Rod Tisthammer or the church office.

Task Force Members Needed

The Church Council has three projects ready to start now:

• Our 150th anniversary as a congregation is in 2011, and we will start celebrating next year. That anniversary committee is looking for people ready to plan.
• There is a need for people who want to use their visioning, planning, design or construction gifts to help the renovation of our Fireside Room. It has been completely cleared out to the bare floor and walls (you are free to look in) and we are ready to step forward.
• We need one person to work on a short-term task force to help us choose new tables and chairs for the Fellowship Hall.

Contact the church office if you are interested!
