September Outreach: Restock the Grace Closet
This September, let’s help Grace Lutheran Church in downtown Phoenix get ready to serve people experiencing homelessness in the Fall and Winter months. Their 'Grace Closet' is in need of men's medium size underwear, socks,T-shirts, pants and shorts. As cooler weather approaches, they are also in need of blankets, flat sheets, hats, jackets, coats and gloves. While they have a need for hygiene items for both men and women, the need for men is greater. Please bring your donations to the narthex or the church office during the week.
Church Work Day
Saturday, October 1 7:00 am- 11:00 am
Many helpers are needed to help spruce up our campus for fall. There will be outdoor landscaping work, as well as interior cleaning and organizing. Come for an hour or two, or plan to stay the entire time. Wear clothes that can get dirty and bring gloves, if you have some. We have been blessed with a beautiful church property- let's all pitch in to keep it that way.

Host Coffee Hour
Sundays after worship
Help is needed to provide coffee hour after worship each Sunday. This is a wonderful time for people to check in with each other and meet new friends. Coffee hour hosts make the coffee, bring treats, set everything out, and then clean up after. Please sign up on the bulletin board in the Hall or email the church office. Never hosted before? No problem, one of our seasoned coffee hosts will be happy to partner with you the first time and show you how.

Join the Outreach Team
The Outreach Team at Our Saviour’s decides the monthly mission projects, like collections for Grace Lutheran and Umom, and makes sure items get to their intended destinations. They also arrange for care packages to be delivered to homebound members at Easter and Christmas. Occasionally, they also lift up other outreach opportunities to help those less fortunate. If you would like to share your gifts with this team, or have suggestions for outreach activities, please contact either Lennie Andrews or Pastor Karn.
Food Pantry Collection
Non-perishable items (soup, peanut butter, canned veggies, pasta and sauce) are collected each week to support the food pantry at Trinity Lutheran. Please add food items to the grocery cart in the Narthex/Lobby and they will be delivered to those most in need. Thank you for your generosity.
Be Featured in a Worship Video!
If you would like to help out with a worship video, by reading scripture or another potion of the worship service, please contact the church office or Pastor Karn.

WooHoo and Hallelujah! Piecemakers are meeting in Fellowship Hall from 9:00 a.m. until noon on the first Saturday of the month. Thanks to many diligent church members cutting fabric and sewing at home, there are an abundance of quilts to tie for Lutheran World Relief.
