BIG Changes at OSLC!
God is doing stuff at Our Saviour's!
First, God called kids to come to our Sunday School. 4 more kids from the neighbourhood, in fact, and they are very enthusiastic. So our Sunday School enrollment has gone up 200%! Praise God!
Second, God has called our Music Director, Ian Walker, to the music ministry at Lutheran Church of the Cross, our sister congregation a few blocks away. This means that he will no longer be with us Sunday mornings. Most of the congregation can't imagine worshiping without him, so we are facing a BIG decision. We have talked about various possibilities, thinking outside the box as much as possible.
The solution that seems to suit most of us is this: we will worship on Sunday evenings at 5:30 at the Walkers' home, at 736 Minto St, just up the street from the church building. Following our worship, we will enjoy a potluck supper.
We have known for a while that we could not continue as a traditional church. We are trusting that God is leading us in a direction where we will be able to welcome into our community, people who would never show up on Sunday morning.
Please pray for us as we make this transition. And if you are in Winnipeg, drop in and visit us!

Run Like the Gate’s Been Left Open…
Never letting an opportunity pass them by, the dogs took advantage of this liberation. The hound was so delighted by all the girls’ activity that she was happy enough to race back into the yard when called. The lab, however, was gone for a run around the town he knows so well.
The postmodern world reacts to the modern church
And they talk right past each other... video
