As members of the body of Christ in this place and time, we are a welcoming congregation of people who gather to be shaped by God’s Word and Sacrament, with the purpose of living out God’s love in our community and world. We hope you will join us!
10:00 am Worship
We welcome you to worship this Sunday!
On Sunday, June 7, Pr. Kristin-Luana is the presider, and Pr. Olaf is the preacher.
Here is the Sermon News for the Second Sunday after Pentecost:
Matthew 9:9-13, 18-26
Star Trek. Jesus. Healing. Stories.
Why do some stories shape human lives for generations? What makes something deeply true, even when it cannot be reduced to facts alone?
This Sunday, we explore Matthew 9:9–26 and the strange power of stories that still heal, challenge, and transform.
Come this Sunday to Our Savior Lutheran Church in Issaquah, WA, or on YouTube, to learn more!
– Pr. Olaf

Summer Mission Trip—Lantern Hill, Mexico
June 26-July 2, 2026, Cost: $700 per person plus airfare and other accommodations (additional hotels, shuttles, etc.); Who can come: All ages, an intergenerational mission trip!
This is not your normal mission trip. You, as a participant, will be part of the leadership and planning of this trip, using your gifts and talents to help shape what we do over the course of our time with the wonderful people of Lantern Hill. The main goal of this trip is to learn and grow in relationship with the people of Lantern Hill, not to come and “fix” their problems. During the course of the trip, you could help to prep a meal in the kitchen, tutor a student, play games or soccer with the kids, help build, or whatever you and our team decides in partnership with the people of Lantern Hill! While you are there you will experience the people, the community, the food, and the hospitality of the Lantern Hill Community.
