SummerSong on Thursday evenings at 6 pm. Come enjoy a relaxed midweek worship service in the sunshine. We gather on the back lawn for a reverent but casual service lasting about 30 minutes. We meet indoors if raining outside. Kids can play in their parents' view at the playground, and everyone enjoys the treats of Pastor Popsicle after the worship has ended.

It’s 9:00 am on a Thursday morning and a dozen women are “needling” each other in two small rooms at Our Savior’s. It’s the Quilters, and they indeed needle each other with laughter and love as they stitch quilts for infants, graduates, and the hurting around the world. As you share your Sunday offering, you are a partner with them in this vital ministry … held together by a thread! Thank you.
