Learn We are committed to equipping God’s  people to open their Bibles and join in  conversation as we learn together what it  means to live in faithful service.  We refer  to the Bible as our “Book of Faith” that both comforts and challenges us, as we live in  relationship with God, with one another,  and with all of creation. Lifelines Newsletter Calendar of Events Directions New Member Info Building Usage About Us Contact Us Anyuak Faith Community We are a Book of Faith congregation.  What does this mean?  It means  that we have committed ourselves, along with ELCA congregations  throughout the country, to "become more fluent in the first language of  faith, the language of Scripture, in order that we might live into our  calling as people renewed, enlivened, empowered, and sent by the  Word."  You are invited to become involved in one or more of these  studies that we might learn and grow together.  For more information  about any of these study opportunities, contact Pastor Karen Behling Splash! is our faith formation program for those from birth to 36  months of age. Bi monthly mailings come directly to you including  parent tips, age-related growth and faith connecting points, music and  age-appropriate books, all designed to nurture faith of our little ones,  and to equip parents as the primary faith teacher in every home.  As an  extension of these in-home materials, we also sponsor seasonal Splash  Sunday Events in our beautiful new Atrium area where we participate in  worship first, then as the wiggles come on, we move to the Atrium for  activities that enrich, enhance and encourage the faith connection for  little ones.  ALL are welcome and we look  forward to meeting you at a  future Splash Sunday event! If your child is  birth – 36 months of age  and you'd like to receive our bi-monthly Splash  mailings, contact  Marcia Pedersen for more details Our Savior’s offers Christian Education opportunities on both Sunday  mornings and Wednesday afternoons. There are two sessions of  Sunday School, one at 9:00 and one at 10:30, coinciding with morning  Worship Services. Sunday School features SPARK, our rotational format  for Kindergarten through Grade 6. Each week your child rotates to one  of our six different learning zones, all the while focusing on a central  Bible theme. Our zones include The Art Cafe, The Holy Word Drive-in,  The Play Zone, The Temple, Bible Bytes and Acts of the Apostles. Since  each child learns best in different ways, SPARK is a great way to reach  everyone with unit studies and increased Bible knowledge. Wednesday  School classes are also available for 3 year-olds through Grade 9. With  the growing interest and involvement in Wednesday evening activities,  such as children’s and adult choirs, an awesome Wednesday meal,  Confirmation and Come ’N See Bible Studies, Wednesday School has  grown also! Curriculum used in our Wednesday School programs is  both exciting and thorough, giving you an alternative to Sunday’s  rotational set-up – a more traditional classroom setting.  This program is the heart and soul of youth ministry at Our Savior’s.  Here is where young people begin to look deeply into their faith, their  relationship with God, and their responsibilities as Christian people.  Through a variety of settings, beginning with an awesome week at  Good Earth Village for Confirmation Camp each June, they grow as  Christians. In the fall each Wednesday from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. students  come together and meet with pastors and mentors who guide them as  they explore the treasures of the faith. Through service projects and  other projects like Adopt-A-grandparent, our confirmands strengthen  the seeds of faith as they work toward their Confirmation Sunday in the  last week of April.   Download the Download the Download the Confirmation  Covenant Sermon Notes  Form Medical  Release  Brown Bag Bible Study  Bring your lunch and Bible and join in the conversation from noon to 12:50 p.m. on  Fridays, starting Oct. 8.
