    • "how does a weary world rejoice?" advent bible study

      Join Pastor Elisabeth for an Advent Bible study Thursdays, Dec. 7-21, at 9 a.m. in Luther Court. Visio Divina, Latin for “divine seeing,” is a method of reflection, study, and prayer through a process of intentional seeing. We will reflect individually and as a group on scripture and images related to our Advent theme, "How Does a Weary World Rejoice?" 

    • SANTA CLAUS FOR A CAUSE DEC. 9

      If there are enough cookies to send home, we'll do a Christmas cookie exchange!
    • "EXPERIENCING GRIEF" series

      In a special series of events through the end of the year, we will explore the transformative experience of grief, moving away from the idea that grief is a problem that needs to be “fixed.” These opportunities will seek to name both individual and universal experiences of grief, and you are invited to attend as many as you would like, whether you are an experienced griever, are brand-new to grief, or you seek to support those who grieve. View the upcoming-events listing below and find out more about each offering HERE

Groups will meet the weeks of Jan. 21, Jan. 28, Feb. 4, Feb. 11 and Feb. 18. Questions? Contact Pastor Elisabeth at pastorelisabeth@oursaviours.com.

    • Women's ministry annual book discussion jan. 26

      Women's Ministry will read "The Measure" by Nikki Erlick for its annual book discussion, which will take place Friday, Jan. 26, at at 7 p.m. on the Our Saviour's Campus. The book explores: What if one day you woke up and the world was forever changed? How would you live your life? A timely, life-affirming story about family, friendship, hope and destiny, "The Measure" encourages readers to live life to the fullest.

      Add this book to your Christmas list and put Jan. 26 on your calendar for a great evening of conversation and fellowship. You are welcome to join the discussion even if you haven't read the book! Questions? Contact Kris Reenstjerna at k2r123@aol.com.
