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.
