Welcome to Our Savior’s!
Welcome to worship today! Today we explore PRAYER. Who taught us to pray? Do you think anyone is listening? How are prayers answered? What are we really asking for? Jesus invites us to “Just ASK ... ask, seek, and knock.“
Announcements for July 25, 2010
Please keep in your prayers this week…
· Jamie Pavek and Steve Schultz
· Tracy Buettner, Kelsen Burrows, John Ness, Zack Zellmer, and all who serve in the military

Meal on Wheels — Our next Meals on Wheels delivery week is August 9-13, 2010. There will be a sign up sheet at the Welcome Desk on Sunday, July 25 & Sunday, August 1. We have ten spots to fill and this is a good week for families to sign up, when the children are not in school. The recipients love seeing children and it is good for children to feel that they can do something nice for someone else. Please sign-up in the Gathering Area.

Room for a few more families at the 5th Annual OSLC Family Camp! Like to be outdoors? Like to hang out around the campfire? Join us for Family Camp August 26-29, 2010 at Whitewater State Park. Camp in a tent or camper. We’ll all be in electrical sites so the group can be together. There is a variety of organized activities but also plenty of time for spontaneous fun. Friday night is movie night; we share a potluck meal together on Saturday night and worship together Sunday morning before a pancake breakfast. There’s time each day for your family and friends to explore the park, go swimming, biking, campfires, hiking or geo-caching, catch a nap, organize the world’s largest game of tag – whatever! For more info and to register go to: www.oslcstillwater.org, click on Family Camp on the What’s Happening Page.
As you share your weekly offering today, think about New York City. No, not the Statue of Liberty, Yankee Stadium or the Empire State Building...but think about the youth from OSLC who are there on a mission trip. They'll help re-hab some houses, lead a Kids Club, and share God's love with those who need to see a sermon. Your generous gifts fund our youth ministry and change the lives of kids in New York...and kids in our own backyards. Thank you.
