February’s Book Club Selection: Have a Little Faith by Mitch Albom
January 22, 2010
Filed under Book Club
The OSLC January book club selection is Have a Little Faith by Mitch Albom. This is a true story of author Mitch Albom, having been asked to write a eulogy for an elderly rabbi, begins a relationship with the man in order to get to know him better, and, in the process, also becomes involved with the plight of a local pastor whose church is falling down around him, leading Mitch to better understand the importance of faith.
We have a wonderful group of members who enjoy reading and then coming together for a discussion of ‘the book of the month’. Talking about books is another way to learn some thing new about our friends and ourselves as we travel our faith journey together. We look forward to seeing you!

Church Council Looking For Key Leadership in 2010
January 15, 2010
Filed under Get Involved, Worship
As OSLC approaches its annual meeting on January 31st, three positions need the right persons to fill them: congregational treasurer, stewardship committee chair, and Christian education chairperson.
- Congregational Treasurer: Our hired bookkeeper does check writing and reconciliations, so the treasurer signs checks and stays on top of our financial reports and transactions.
- Stewardship Committee Chairperson: This position is backed by a multiple of stewardship materials available for monthly usage from our ELCA, so we are looking forward to having someone able to access this material on line, and lead our public discussions throughout the year on how we use God’s gifts among us.
- Christian Education Chairperson: This position not only involves Sunday School, but youth and adult life-long learning.
Anyone interested, please contact Becky Grapes or Rod Tisthammer. Thank you!

Join our Souper Bowl Team!
This winter our Youth will be presenting the congregation with the opportunity to join in the fight against hunger in our community and our world. We are looking for ‘players’ from the congregation to help the youth fill large soup buckets in the narthex of the church with cans of soup and/or dollar bills during Super Bowl Weekend, February 7th, 2010.
Soup suggestions include: cream of chicken, cream of mushroom, chicken noodIe, chicken with rice, beef noodle, vegetable beef, packets of ramen noodles and any of the” chunky” style soups. The winners of the Souper Bowl are the many families served by WAFER and each of you who follow the teaching of Jesus to help feed those who are hungry. Thank you!
