Welcome to Our Savior’s Lutheran Church!
Today begins a three-week sermon series: Where is God? Today is part one: “Where is God in the world? Adam and Eve’s discovery.” Next week will be part two: “Where is God in my life? Jacob’s discovery.” Part three will follow in two weeks: “Where is God in my suffering? Job’s discovery.”

SummerSong begins on Thursday, June 3! If you're leaving town for a weekend getaway, or simply want to enjoy a relaxed midweek worship service in the sunshine, join us for SummerSong. We gather on the back lawn at 6 pm on Thursday evenings for a reverent but casual service, which lasts about 30 minutes. Kids can play in their parents' view at the playground, and everyone enjoys the treats of Pastor Popsicle after the worship has ended. For the first three weeks, we will be following the sermon series listed above.
Pastor Steve will be out of the office May 24 through June 18 while serving as guest pastor for the Wittenberg English Ministry in Wittenberg, Germany. A more detailed description of his duties was published in the May issue of The Lamp (available online at www.oslcstillwater.org). If you want to follow along as he travels to the “land of Luther,” new postings of his activities are being added to the OSLC website as they come in. While he is away, Pastor Linda will be handling all care calls and services. Please contact her via email or the church office if you need assistance: linda@oslcstillwater.org or 651-439-5704, ext. 24.
