Let’s be honest and admit that sometimes it’s hard to make it to church on a Sunday morning, especially in summer…we go on vacation, have family get-togethers, work, sports, etc… As a community of faith we are committed to working together to grow in faith; for this reason beginning June 18th we will be offering a mid-week service on Wednesday evenings at 6:30pm. The service will feature the same scripture and sermon as the preceding Sunday, with similar worship elements as the Sunday service. We hope this new worship opportunity will give everyone an opportunity to participate in corporate worship at a time that is convenient to them. REMINDER: Sunday AND Wednesday services will be held at Our Saviour’s June 15 – July 23. Services will be at St. John July 27-Sept. 3rd.

- Delights of Discipline‘Discipline’ can be overused when it comes from a disciplinarian with an axe to grind. But discipline – the steady practices of disciples – can lead to wonders, too.
- Advent’s ThirstA week before Christmas, we may know the psalmist’s thirst. We may feel their loneliness. If that’s true for you, take time to drink and drink and drink in the river of God’s love.
