Share a brief tour of our Ministry in Christ |
|
Our
Music Program
includes both a
Chancel Choir
and two Bell Choirs.
The Chancel Choir,
an important element of the worship experience, sings at all communion
services. Choir rehearsal lasts one hour beginning at 7 pm each Thursday
from September through May. The choir seeks to add more voices, giving
us greater flexibility in selecting choir music. Don’t be shy, come join
us at rehearsal and participate in this rewarding worship activity. Our
Bell Choirs
are growing in both popularity and musical
accomplishment. Come join us as a new bell ringer. |
| Our
Savior’s
Prayer Circle
responds to requests for prayers for all in need,
regardless of membership. Please contact Pastor’s office at 227-3066 if
you wish to place a loved one on the Prayer Circle. We invite you to
join our 18 member circle. |
| Sand Dollars
is the women’s group at Our Savior.
We are affiliated with the Lutheran Women’s Missionary League,
Chesapeake District and the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod. All women of
the church are invited to attend our meetings held at 10 am on the 4th
Tuesday of each month, except June and July. Christ centered programs
are presented by our members, as well as guest speakers. We bring a
sandwich to the meetings and hostesses serve beverages and dessert. We
have many activities for you to explore. |
| Men’s Prayer Breakfast and
Bible Study.
The Bible Study is led by
Pastor on Wednesday mornings at 8 am. Sessions are held year around. The
study consists of a review of several verses from the assigned chapters,
with emphasis on the New Testament. Classes are open to all men who wish
to participate. The “breakfast” consists of coffee and rolls, which are
provided by the members of the class. Our knowledge of the Bible varies,
but we are all here to learn more. We have about 25 regular attendees.
The group is upbeat and lively. Please come join us. |
|
"KICS" (Kids in Christ
Service) is our new youth group for middle school students (grades 7th
and 8th). Currently we meet monthly for fun, fellowship, bible
study and service projects. |
| Selah Bible Study Group.
This Women’s Bible class is
sponsored by the Sand Dollars, and meets for 1 hour at 10 am on the 1st
and 3rd Tuesdays of each month from September through May. Each May we
end our season with an “Ask the Pastor” session. |
|
Caregivers
is a monthly support group for those who are actively involved in taking
care of spouses, parents and friends. It is a place of sharing, study,
and prayer for those who have the “joyful burden” of loving others
through illness or recuperation. |
|
Shepherds
assist the Pastor and Elders in keeping in touch with all our members to
insure that your needs are being met. If you have a concern about
church, an illness or problem you wish to share, your Shepherd is there
to help. Your Shepherd will stay in contact with you by phone. Our
objective is to strengthen our church community in Christ through active
communication with each other. |
| Grief Support Group.
Open to church members and community
residents who have suffered the death of a loved one. The group meets
once a week for six weeks in the Spring and Fall. The meetings are
facilitated by a professional grief counselor, and are meant to
encourage one another, as we walk through the grief journey. |
| Good Samaritan Fund.
The “Good Sam” Fund assists our
members, and our neighbors in the Lewes - Rehoboth Beach communities in
meeting financial obligations they are not able to handle. Usually, the
appeals are referred to us by the Georgetown Social Services for Sussex
County. We are joined by other local churches and agencies enabling us
to share expenses. This outreach follows our Lord’s command to “Love one
another”. |
| Lend-a-Hand.
The Lewes - Rehoboth Association of
Churches (LRAC) sponsors the Lend-a-Hand program. It is designed to
support the needy in our community. The LRAC Thrift Shop, located on
Route 1 behind Jiffy Lube, seeks all kinds of donations, with the
proceeds from their sales going to assist the needy. In addition, cash
donations, such as the weekly contributions from our Men’s Bible Study
and the Children’s Sunday School, go to help support Lend-a-Hand. |
| Pastor’s Crafters/Quilters
meet on the second and fourth Thursday of every month at noon. You don't
have to be "crafty" to join us: our projects are easy and fun. |
| The Model Train Club
generally meets on Thursday evenings from 7 to 8 PM (September to May)
in the Basement of the Parish House where there is a fantastic model
train layout set up.
We also have several Open Houses during the
year when we invite everyone to come and enjoy the trains. |
