First, how good it was this past weekend to remember all the saints who have gone before us since All Saints Day last year. This is always a meaningful, moving time and we are grateful to be able to share that with so many. But this was also a time for us to remember all those other saints who have touched our lives over the years, and to be reminded that we too are called and blessed to be numbered among the saints! And finally, it was also good welcoming back more of our regular winter “saints”! Every weekend recently feels a little like “family reunion” time! Glad to have you back!
Once again this coming Wednesday, our suppers continue with the meal served at 6pm. These suppers have been very well received, and we want to especially thank the following 4 “Crew Chiefs” who spear-head these suppers. Each Chief takes one Wednesday a month to set up, cook, serve and clean up. Chief of the Crew Chiefs and one of the 4 Chiefs is Nancy Ogonoski (569-1798). The other 3 are: Colleen Heagy (774-8795), Sue Davia (226-7783) and Linda Krieger 299-0729) (all 772 area code). Also a special thanks to Brian Rogers, who almost single handedly sets up the tables most Wednesdays! If you would be able and willing to help out any of these crews, please let them know either when you come on Wednesdays, or call them ahead of time and volunteer. Clean up is especially appreciated. You can just stay and help with that any Wednesday. Although it is work, it really is also a lot of fun working with those folks. So, please lend a hand when you can! You’ll be glad you did!
Now, it won’t be long til our annual Bazaar and Health Fair is here (a week from Saturday!) Below are details from our Parish Nurse, Bonnie Lanyi, about the event and what you can do to be a part of it!
Annual Bazaar is Saturday, November 19 from 9:00am to 1:00pm in the Fellowship Hall. Please bring your crafts in no later than November 16. Please donate baked goods and drop them off in the Fellowship Hall on Friday or Saturday morning before the sale begins. Along with crafts and baked goods there will be lunch available. All proceeds from this event go to charities.
Health Fair is the same day from 9:00am to 11:00am and will include the following:
Indian River Blood Bank Blood Drive-You can tell them to donate $5 to the Harvest Food and Outreach instead of getting a gift for yourself.
VNA-free blood pressure and blood sugar screenings. For best results, fast after midnight for the blood sugar test. Preservative-free flu shots. Getting your shot here will help the VNA provide home care, hospice and wellness services to the uninsured and under-insured in our community.
Humane Society-What do you do with your pet during an emergency such as a hurricane?
Balance Screening by Sunshine Physical Therapy.
Indian River Sheriff's Dept-Child safety kits, vials of life, and safety info.
Treasure Coast Community Health-ask a pharmacist about medications.
Gwen Turner, Registered Dietitian and Certified Diabetes Educator-nutrition info and body fat analysis.
Treasure Coast Ovarian Cancer Alliance
Our Savior Health Ministry Team

Finally, this coming weekend is “Stewardship Weekend”! Many of you have already brought or sent your commitment cards (which you received in the mail last week) in for 2012! If you haven’t, this coming weekend we will be gathering those cards during worship. (Extras will be available). It’s been amazing how you all have stepped up to help support our 50th Anniversary Building Project, along with continuing to support the general life and ministry of Our Savior this past year. In these challenging economic times, you are all living proof of God’s ongoing nurturing hand at work among us. Sincere thanks to all!
In another separate and special email later this week, watch for details on our 50th Anniversary Celebration and Building Project!
As this week now unfolds, may you both be blessed and be a blessing to those around you. God’s work; our hands. Pastor Jack +
