Ahhh….for the first time we have the windows open here in the office this morning and we’re enjoying the beautiful Fall weather along with the all of the other Floridians who are grateful for this time of the year. 

 

I had been out of town since last Thursday and was so pleased to see the progress on our building when I returned this morning.   Most all of the drywall is up, and the painting outside and stucco is all coming along nicely.  Still looking good for the December 11 celebration!

 

But, before then, a number of things continue to happen around Our Savior.   Our menu for this Wednesday’s supper includes mac and cheese and baked breaded Haddock.  Following the supper is choir practice, Youth Group, a women’s Bible study and our Outreach Team meeting focusing especially on the 50^th anniversary celebration events. 

 

Looking ahead, our annual Bazaar and Health Fair is coming up Saturday November 19.   A part of that event will be a Bake Sale and all are invited to bring their favorite baked goods (or fudge, or other such goodies) that morning or the day before to add to the sale.   

 

Recently you may have received in the mail the latest information on our Building Fund.   The “Tree of Life” will be finished within about a week and will be installed as soon as the drywall is finished.  Inscriptions on the leaves and on the “Living Stones” are starting very soon.  If you would like to have a leaf on this “Tree of Life” or a “Living Stone” please call George Dann at 772-978-9124 or the church office 772-567-2253. 

 

This coming weekend is “Reformation Weekend” at Our Savior.  This is always one of the big festival days of the church year as we not only remember our roots and the events of the Reformation some 500 years ago, but more importantly remember the ongoing work of the Holy Spirit in renewing and reforming the church yet today.  Along with that, we will be celebrating the confirmation of 4 of our young people (Brandon Phillips-Klotsche, Tyler Welsh, Elizabeth Nelson and Charles Pascale) at the 11am service.  Wear RED!

 

As the week unfolds, be grateful each day and let your light shine!      See you in church!      Pastor Jack Diehl +
