As you are all aware, the novel coronavirus pandemic has affected nearly every aspect of our lives, including the life of this congregation. The church council and staff are doing their best to continue the ministries of Our Savior Lutheran Church (such as our online worship services and worship folders) while still keeping everyone safe. This is uncharted territory, but they are using their best judgment after gathering information from reliable sources.
This page will try to provide you with some of that same information.

– 3/27/2022 Masks are no longer required in worship, however, Our Savior’s Executive Committee strongly suggests attendees continue to wear masks in worship, principally because of singing. This is in keeping with the Synod suggestion to continue masking when singing, around others at high risk, in crowded spaces, or with children under five.
