Our afternoon was just as fun as the morning! We did an art project, played Gaga ball, played some field games, went to the canteen for treats, listened to a story, took a picture, played 9 square, and then left to go home!! It was a very full day but so much fun. They all want to go to camp for longer then a day!!!!

This Sunday! We continue our discussion of God's gifts to us. Specifically, we'll be exploring the gift of lament. We have a God who invites us to bring our cares and burdens and concerns to the cross. Continue to pray for the middle school youth who leave for their mission trip this Saturday. Join us for the 10:45 service as we get to celebrate TWO baptisms together.

We are having so much fun at the Wapo one day today. We are half way through our time and have done so much. We did a get to know you game, played on the playground, toured the big lodge cabin where 21 girls are staying (a lot of Our Saviors girls there!!!), then to chapel, had a snack, went to play beach games (like drip drip drop), and now having a picnic lunch!!

Live from wapo!!! Rockin out in chapel!!

Did you know that OSLC is a regular participant in the local Habitat for Humanity. This year we gave 10 weeks to a building project in St. Paul. Thank you to all the participants and to Ruel Carpenter for his leadership! If you're interested in getting involved with our Habitat group, contact one of the pastors or the church office. "This week ends the ten week commitment by Holy Hammers to provide labor for the building of a twin home at 593/595 Whitall Street in St. Paul. The house is far from complete but other volunteer groups will be scheduled to finish the build. Thank you for your participation during the Holy Hammers scheduled portion of this build. Whether you contributed labor, food, or other service your efforts are appreciated by the Holy Hammers and Twin Cities Habitat For Humanity. I hope you have found this to be an enjoyable experience and will consider participating with Holy Hammers next year. TCHFH will continue to post on their volunteer web page opportunities to work on the 593/595 Whitall St. until the project is completed."

Here's some more pictures from today. I even found our ox lake campers!

This week in worship! In this season of Pentecost we celebrate the GIFT of the Holy Spirit. This celebration leads us to see that God has really given us so many gifts for which we can be grateful. We'll be discussing God's great Gifts throughout this summer and wondering together what it means to live faithfully with those gifts. We start this Sunday in the book of Psalms. Adult faith formation will be held between services. Also, please continue to pray daily for Pastor Steve and for the great summer youth ministries that happen through OSLC--ministries like Summer Stretch, VBS, Mission Trips, Bible Studies, Camp Wapo, Adopt-A-Backpack, foodshelf, and so many more. Choose one to pray for everyday!

This coming Sunday is the day of Pentecost--that day where Christians around the world celebrate the gift of the Holy Spirit. We believe that the Spirit sends us out with the gifts of courage and compassion to engage in acts of service and love for others. That's why we're excited to send Pastor Steve on his journey of learning and mission this Sunday! Join us at 8:45 this Sunday to wish him well. Consider supporting God's work by giving to the Miles for Ministry fundraiser.

Summer is coming.... Also, this Sunday we are continuing with our focus on Acting Like Believers. Specifically we are dwelling in Paul's letter to the Romans wherein he discusses the role of suffering in the life of faith. It will be a beautiful conversation. See you Sunday!

This Sunday! We will consider together what it looks like to respond to a world in need as people of faith. What does Jesus call us to do for our neighbors? Additionally, we're still raising funds for the Miles for Ministry event over the summer. The first $2000 will go toward supporting our delegations that travel to Guatemala and after that the money will support ongoing ministries that impact our community. Please give generously! Finally, please keep our confirmands in your prayers!

This Weekend! We are continuing our theme, "Acting Like Believers," with a powerful story from the Acts of the Apostles. ALSO, be sure to stop by the garage sale here at OSLC's building this Saturday, May 4 from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM to support our youth in their mission work. AND, now's the chance to sign up to support the Miles for Ministries work that Pastor Steve will engage in this summer.

This Sunday! Continue the Easter celebration with your siblings at OSLC! Worship at 8:45 and 10:45 with faith formation between. PLUS! We welcome a class of new members. It'll be a great day!

There's a lot to look forward to with your siblings in Christ at OSLC this week! Maundy Thursday: A brief communion service at 8:15 PM following our first communion class and Seder meal. Good Friday: Children's Worship at 11:00 AM. Seven Last Words Worship at 8:00 PM. Easter Sunday: Worship at 8:00, 9:30, and 11:00 AM. Can't wait to see you!
