OUR SAVIOR LUTHERAN MINISTRIES
ANNOUNCEMENTS
Weekly Bulletin of Events & Announcements  March 22, 2015
Mites for Mission! Your coins support Missions!
The Lutheran Women’s Missionary League (Women in Mission) has been
collecting coins for missions since 1928. These collections have been based
on the Biblical account of the widow’s mite (Luke 21:1-4) and support missions at home and abroad. Starting on Palm Sunday, Our Savior will have the
opportunity to engage in this ministry, and it will repeat every fifth Sunday in
the year. Bring your coins. Be part of funding the Angels Nest Child Development Center’s project of “Safety and Growth” in Sacramento. Mite coin boxes
will be available on the table in the rear of the church.

OSLM will be hosting its annual Easter Brunch after worship on Sunday,
April 5th. A delicious meal will be prepared by Mark McDonald and team,
and served to us by the Sr. Youth who are raising funds to go to the National
Youth Gathering in 2016. We are inviting members to contribute pastries.
Simply drop them off in the gym before the service on Easter morning if you
can help in this way. We appreciate it!

CITYSERVE INFORMATION
Potluck Wrap-Up
Fun was had by all at the potluck last Sunday. Great fellowship, delicious
food and lots of laughs made it a very enjoyable evening. And the winner of
the grand raffle was…..Christa Even! “I’ve never won anything in my life!” she
said with a big smile. With items in there for every age, you can bet that her
grandchildren will be just as thrilled as she was! For those of you who couldn’t make it, don’t worry! We’ll plan another potluck soon. — Heidi Wolfson
Find out more about CityServe by looking at their new brochure, available on
