Worship and Event Suspension Our Saviour Lutheran Church Effective March 18, 2020

Uncategorized

Dear fellow Congregants of Our Savior Lutheran Church;

A brief meeting was held with those in attendance after Lenten Service this past Wednesday night (March 18, 2020) during which Pastor Rosnau read a directive from Synod concerning the suspension of worship services until further notice because of the Covid-19 virus. Those present decided to suspend services and church activities until further notice.

It is never easy to close a church and we must all pray that this pandemic will end soon with all our members and our broader community being safe. In the meantime regular updates and contact information will be posted to the website, please check often. Should you have any information to bring forward please do not hesitate to contact Lavinia or me at (306) 332-3071.  

Even though services are now suspended there are still some bills to be paid to make sure we have a Place of Worship when this ends. Keeping this in mind, we ask that you consider setting aside your regular tithe for when we can all return to church.

We also have to remember we are a community of Lutherans and should be looking after the well being of each other. So please pray for our Church, Pastors and Members. Phone, text and email fellow congregants and if you can be of help to anyone let them know or let Lavinia know and she can coordinate volunteer efforts. Together, and with a positive attitude, we can ride out this storm and stay healthy.

Respectfully,

Bruce Henderson, Chair
