A table will be available for
Caring & Sharing “thank offering” donations at our
Thanksgiving Eve
Communion service
at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday, November 21st.

Caring & Sharing has special requests of each community church for items to be used in the Christmas boxes they provide to the families they service. OSLC members have been asked to donate boxed packaged fruit snacks and boxes of crackers such as Ritz, Wheat Thins, Saltines, etc.; these items may be brought to the Thanksgiving Eve service or at any time. Nonperishable food items, paper products and monetary donations are also greatly needed.

Please remember December is OSLC’s month to donate items to Caring & Sharing and a list will be posted of items needed.

What a wonderful way for us to share God’s blessings with those in need!

October is Clergy Appreciation month and it is a wonderful opportunity for us to express our thanks to Pastor Ben for his ministry here at Our Saviour’s!
