all major gas stations, discount/department stores, restaurants and more.

2. „EXPELLED‟ BIBLE STUDY BEGINS TODAY – Paul Steinhaus, science teacher at NEWLHS, is here to lead a Bible
study regarding the freedom of speech and inquiry within the scientific community as it relates to Biblical authority. The
discussion will be centered around Ben Stein's recent movie "Expelled." The movie will be viewed for the first 3 weeks.
The discussion will then conclude the fourth week with an example of this freedom revolving around the "hot" topic of
global warming. This discussion is geared toward adults however high school youth are strongly encouraged to come and
join in. This study will be held in our parlor Sundays at 9:30 and 10:30 am until May 2.

(6-7:30pm). The first class included a Talk n‟ Tour. Please RSVP by calling Michelle in the office at 468-4065.
IT‟S SOFTBALL TIME – Softball... green grass, blue skies, the crack of the bat and cheers of the crowd. Makes me feel
warmer already. Once again, I would like to try to field two teams, our regular Division 1 team as well as a Division 3
team (for those who don't like the competitive nature of the upper division). Please let me know if you are interested in
playing so that I can arrange with the league to add the second team (if there is enough interest). Contact Steve or Julie
Rusch at 406-9077 or email us at ruschs@sbcglobal.net or sign up on the sheet across from the office. We look forward to
another year of fun and fellowship with you. Thanks - Coach Dash

your way? Bring your donations to the church office. The „Kids‟ Only‟ sale is on May 15; donations are requested by May
9. The Super Sale date is August 21; we take the kitchen sink and lots of other items but no clothes, please. For the „Kids

Cole. You will learn about pausing, inflections, breathing and much more. Please call the church office to reserve your
seat for April 26th from 6:30-7:30pm and join us in the Sanctuary. We are particularly hopeful to train the Sunday School
children who read at the last Christmas program. Mom and Dad, how about bringing them?
ATTN: ALL VOLUNTEERS – All Servant/Volunteer Sunday will be held on May 16th at 10:30am. You are invited to
bring your best potluck dish and join us in honoring those that keep OSLC running by donating their time and talents. The
regular 10:45 am worship service will not be held that day so that everyone can come and enjoy this fellowship event.
CONSIDER „SIMPLY GIVING‟ – This Easter season, Our Saviour thanks those individuals and families that support
the church throughout the year with their time, talent and financial contributions. We also extend a warm welcome to
many new and returning congregation members and hope that you, too, will be generous with your time and contributions
in support of our work here at Our Saviour. To assist everyone in making the consistent offerings that are so important to
Our Saviour, we ask you to consider making automatic, electronic donations through the Simply Giving program. Please
contact the church office (468-4065 or info@oslc-gb.org) for more details.
RAISE YOUR VOICE – Does your copy of The Voice come each month by snail mail? Would you prefer to receive it
by email or just read it online? To change the way you receive The Voice, please call or email Michelle at 468-4065 or
info@oslc-gb.org. Please also notify the office when your mailing address, email address or phone numbers change.
SERVE OTHERS IN YOUR OWN WAY – All women members of Our Saviour are encouraged to attend the next
LWML (Lutheran Women's Missionary League) meeting on Monday, April 12, at 7:00 p.m. in the parlor. We are just
getting started, so this is the perfect time to jump in and try us out. Our main objective is reaching out to others. How do
we do that? It's really up to you! If you've always wanted to help serve at a homeless shelter, you can. If you prefer to
send care packages to missionaries overseas, go for it! You serve how you want. The group helps come up with
opportunities and supports one another in missions. Questions? Ask Stephenie: 264-8317 or stephhov@hotmail.com
HEAR YE, HEAR YE – Imagine a place that connects a member's needs, interests, talents, and passions. The Board of
Stewardship is developing such a place. To start it off, they are inviting every member to complete a fun and creative
inventory (survey). The information will be used within the congregation only, to allow members to use their gifts for the
Lord‟s work. It will be first available at the Olan Mills picture taking sessions, then the church office & Welcome Center.

LIFE QUOTE – “Your loved ones who died trusting Christ are at home with the Lord. They have been moved from
poverty-stricken lives to be possessors of a wealth that cannot be measured. We, too, can know that as the years fly by, we
have an eternity before us that knows no end… It took a cross and an empty tomb to give us a basis for our salvation. It
takes a divinely inspired Word that says, „Because He lives, I too shall live.‟ This is the message of Easter.” Rev. Homer
Larson, speaker on the Christian Crusaders radio program This “Life Quote” is from Lutherans for Life -
