A message from Pastor Rossing:
A friendly smile, a gentle touch, these are the things that mean so much.
Thank you for sharing our sorrow.
Dear Council Members, Pastors, Staff members and all members of one of the best congregations in Minnesota:
Thank you so much for your regular prayers, your outpouring of God's love for Betty and me and our family—most recently in the beautiful flowers you gave for her memorial service on July 8 and the attendance of several of you at that service. Betty and I thanked God often for the privilege of serving at Our Savior's. God bless and keep us all!
In Christ, Pastor Lyle and Family

Lutheran World Relief School Kits
It is late July as I write this and already the merchants are offering us great deals on school supplies. These sale prices make this the ideal time to assemble School Kits for Lutheran World Relief. Please help us reach our goal of 75 kits. You may pick up a school bag in the narthex and fill it from the attached list or you may give a donation of money for the kits. You may also purchase any of the items listed below and put them in the green box by the church office. These kits are shipped all over the world and both adults and children make use of these supph'es. The following is a list of supplies needed to complete these kits.
- Pads or notebooks of ruled paper approximately 8 V-T x 11". We need to provide 150 - 200 sheets of paper with each kit.
