Transition Time at Our Savior’s
Your executive committee recommends
that we have a Transition Committee to
determine the process which the
congregation will use to discern our vision
as a congregation, our needs in a pastor to
fulfill that vision, and writing that vision
and those needs into the Ministry Site
Profile by which we will seek a new pastor
to call. The council will appoint this
committee at our June 14, 2015 meeting.
After several weeks/months(?) when the
Transition Committee has completed its
work, the council will then nominate a Call
Committee which will be approved by a
vote of the congregation to do the
interviewing of possible candidates and
recommend a new pastor to our
congregation. It would be possible for a
member of the Transition Committee to
also be on the Call Committee, but it would
also be possible for the Call Committee to
have no one from the Transition Committee
on it.
On April 26, 2015 we will use our time
together as a full council, with Ministry
Teams, to take the first steps to begin this
process.
Each Ministry Team will have a discussion
about the Transition Committee make-up,
ending with recommendations for possible
committee members. Each Ministry Team
chair will report the results of their
discussion and their possible candidate
recommendations at the council meeting
which follows. With the direction of the
council, a member of the executive
committee will contact those recommended
people to discern their willingness and
interest in serving on this important
committee for our congregation. A slate of
Transition Team nominees will be drawn
up by the executive committee for the
council to vote on seven individuals at our
June 14, 2015 meeting.

Campers will soon be making their way to
Good Earth Village and this would be an
excellent time for you to consider making a
special donation to the camp. Our history of
congregational giving to GEV—individual
and congregational—is as follows: 2012-$3,882.93; 2013--$5,391.15; 2014-$5,407.55 for a three year total of
$14,681.63. Imagine how many young lives
have been changed because of our
generosity; how many children have
experienced the love of Jesus through the
welcoming and caring staff; how many
youngsters have grown in their faith because
of just a few hours and days of Christcentered activities! We can be proud as a
congregation of our commitment to the
mission of GEV and our generosity to this
mission. We can do even more! Make a
donation now to make a difference in a
child’s life this summer!

ELCA Advocacy
Connecting faith and public life
As members of the ELCA, we believe that we are
freed in Christ to serve and love our neighbor. God
uses our hands, through our direct service work
and our voices, through our advocacy efforts, to
restore and reconcile our world. Through faithful
advocacy, the ELCA lives out our Lutheran belief
that governments can help advance the common
good.
ELCA advocacy works for change in public policy
based on the experience of Lutheran ministries,
programs and projects around the world and in
communities across the United States. We work
through political channels on behalf of the
following biblical values: peacemaking, hospitality
to strangers, care for creation, and concern for
people living in poverty and struggling with hunger
and disease.
Join a growing movement
Together, we achieve things on a scale and scope
that we could never do otherwise. When we act as
a coordinated network of advocates and reach out
to officials on relevant, timely issues, we
effectively impact public policies. Join thousands
of ELCA members — sign up for the ELCA eAdvocacy Network now.
Take action
We are a church that rolls up our sleeves and gets
to work. Stand up for policies that create
opportunities to overcome poverty, promote peace
and dignity, and defend God’s creation — visit the
Advocacy News and Updates page to find
advocacy opportunities now.
Learn more
On the Advocacy resources page, you’ll find
information that will educate and equip you to be
a more effective advocate. - See more at:

Funding has come from estate bequests. The Fund

in your Estate Planning or ongoing support to our
congregation please contact Debby for an

May Service Group
Organizers: Sherry Wendt & Lori Schlitter
The service group lists are of people in the
congregation who are asked to bring items for special
events at the church. The lists have gone through
some changes to try to even out the lists with people
who can be available to respond in service. For a
number of reasons, there are people who are not
included on the lists (shut-in, live out of town, have
indicated a desire not to be contacted, etc.) Thank you
to all the people in Our Savior’s who live out their
faith in caring support of the ministries of the church.
