From the Pastor

     September is shaping up to be a month you don’t want to miss at Our Saviour’s.  First, what a phenomenal line up of educational events!   Community Bible Study meets every Thursday morning for intensive study of scripture, worship, and fellowship.  Everyone is welcome to attend this excellent, community-wide event. Check it out if you are looking for a quality day-time Bible Study.  On Wednesday evening we will enjoy a full plate of classes and ministries beginning with a Pastor’s 4:30 pm Bible study of the lectionary  readings  for  the  upcoming Sunday.  Tone Chimes for junior and senior high youth will again be offered, beginning at 5:15.  A delicious meal will be served starting at 5:45 in the Multipurpose Room.  At 6:00 is a Beth Moore video series presentation of The Patriarchs.  This always exciting study will take place in the Narthex.  Other classes will begin at 6:30.  Bod 4 God combines Bible study, exercise, and meditation to help you achieve a body fully dedicated and pleasing to God.  If you are looking for kingdom shaking change from the inside out, I eagerly suggest you join The Supernatural Ways of Royalty class.  And for the children, check out SPARK.  This children’s ministry uses drama, Bible study, games, cooking, art, science, and more to dazzle kids into the life-changing truths of God.  I have not even mentioned children’s or adult Sunday school, but is there for the taking; and I hope you do. Visit the displays in the Narthex, and read this Newsletter for more details about all the wonderful ways you can grow.

 

Second, and best of all, September is the month of Our Saviour’s stewardship campaign.  This one is best of all because, like the past several years, the campaign has far less to do with money than it has to do with Jesus.  In the weeks preceding September 19th, you will be prepared to set your sights on obedience to the Lord’s commands concerning financial stewardship.  Then on the 19th you will have that privilege of accepting His challenge to make a commitment to the Lord.  The attitude of the heart will lead you, so whether your gift is large or small in your eyes, the One Who Sees the Heart will honor you for the sacrifice given.  Let this year’s campaign be the best of all because of the increasing level of worship that attends it.

 

See you Sunday!

Pastor John
