Winter Wednesdays: A break from worship, a chance to study
This January and February we will take a break from Wednesday evening worship and supper to refocus on some Bible Study opportunities for adults.
Wednesday worship and suppers will resume beginning on Ash Wednesday, Febraury, 22.
Opportunities for adult faith formation this winter include two studies on the book “Making Sense of the Christian Faith” by David Lose and Sunday morning studies on Revelation beginning late in January. Contact a pastor for more information.
Coming up in Lent:
“Christ in the World: A Lenten series on the issues of the day”
We return to our Wednesday night Holden Evening Prayer Services. This year’s “Table Talk” sermons will focus on issues of the day using the ELCA’s social statements. We’re hoping to provoke some good discussion, which you can partake in after the service. If you are wanting to read these social statements in advance, click here. Here’s the schedule:

The Narrative Lectionary
At Our Savior’s, we understand scripture to be formative for our faith and life, and we also approach scripture by bringing with us our knowledge, questions, and an open mind.
Starting in September, we’ve been working through the story of Scripture using the Narrative Lectionary, a series of readings which work through the Bible covering the Old Testament in the Fall and the New Testament in the winter and spring.
Come to worship and read along at home using bookmarks available at the church.
