Back by popular demand, the youth of OSLC will be taking orders for those delicious fruit-filled pastries starting Sunday, March 20th. The pastries are $11 each and come in eight mouth-watering flavors: Apple, Bavarian Crème with Chocolate Icing, Blueberry & Cream Cheese, Caramel Roll, Cherry, Cinnamon, Cream Cheese, and Raspberry. They come frozen and you thaw and bake them at home.

We will be taking orders until Sunday, April 3rd and delivery of the pastries will be on Sunday, April 17th, after worship in the Fellowship Hall…just in time for your special Easter gatherings! Watch for the display in the Fellowship Hall for more information and to order or contact Jessica Zinniel. All funds raised go towards youth events through out the year, including the youth mission trips this summer!

Rev. Vern Skarstad Added To OSLC Visitation Pastor Staff

Our church council has contracted for additional hours of visitation with Rev. Vern Skarstad of Holmen. He pastors Bell’s Coulee Lutheran Church, north of Hwy. 16 between West Salem and Bangor, but only on Sunday. He will now add hours during the week here to offer pastoral care to our members in their homes.

We can’t introduce him on Sundays due to his church responsibilities, but we all will meet him during Lenten mid-week services. Rev. Skarstad retired to Holmen with wife Elaine after last serving as counseling pastor at Atonement Lutheran, Florissant (St. Louis), Missouri. They are active members of Holmen Lutheran Church. Welcome him when he calls on you. And let our church office know if you desire a pastoral visit.
