Speak with Lennie A. or the church office for more information. Write a Yelp Review
Did you know that Our Saviour’s is on Yelp? It is one of the most frequently used apps when people are looking for reviews of places they may want to go or experience. If you are on Yelp, please considering writing your own review of Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church. It may just be the thing that encourages someone to check us out!
Scholarly Pop Up Presentation
Kevin Barker, son of member Alyce Mayer, is pursuing his second Masters in Theology at Regent University. His paper, Apostate Rejection in the United and Divided Monarchies, is soon to be published. This is a deep dive into 1 and 2 Samuel and 1 and 2 Kings, considering how Israel’s rejection of YHWH’s just and abiding love led to the dividing of the monarchy and exiling of the northern and southern kingdoms. For those of you interested in ancient church history and biblical scholarship this event is just for you.
As his travel schedule can be unpredictable, know that the next time Kevin is in town there will be a gathering of those interesting in hearing more about this topic. If you would like a copy of his paper beforehand, please let Pastor Karn know. Since we do not know exactly when or where, it is a Pop up event...it will happen when it happens so stay tuned. Help the Piecemakers!
