Editor's Notes
- It is an exciting time to be a part of Our Savior’s community of faith. Together we are a strong congregation, and God has blessed us with many resources that support our mission ….
- … Our Saviors is a people forgiven in Christ whose mission is to proclaim Christ and nurture faith that connects with everyday life. We live our mission in many ways -- the library, the gathering place, music, outreach, health care, transportation, meals, support group -- just a few examples -- I know you each have your own examples --- all of which serve to build up the body of Christ.
- Together we are Our Savior’s, here for each other and for the mission God has entrusted to us. In this community of faith, we lift each other up, provide for each other’s needs,’ offer support, and so much more…
- NOTE: Say nothing but show this slide that has a few pictures of our ministries…
- Each of us describes Our Savior’s differently. It depends on how we’re connected to the church and what season f life we happen to be in. Yet all of what Our Savior’s is and does fits together like a puzzle to form a whole for the sake of our mission. YOU are an important piece of that puzzle. Each of us has a role that is significant in our faith community.
- Belonging to a community like Our Savior’s is priceless. The question we need to answer is: How do we make sure that our capacity for connecting faith with everyday life is sufficient to meet the ministry needs of the 21st century? [NOTE: COULD WE ADD SOME PICTURES DEPICTING OSL ON THIS SLIDE WITH JUST THE WORDS BELONGS= PRICELESS. HELP JOSEF!]
- PAUSE … For God ALL things are possible …
- And we believe God is calling us to Mission Possible. This mission we are accepting is to retire our mortgage and create the capacity to grow the mission and ministry God has entrusted to us. Mission possible … so we can MAKE OUR mission possible!
- Yes we have a plan … you can see it here … we know it can be done. It will take work and a commitment from each of us; remember, we’re all pieces of that puzzle. Let’s get this mortgage paid by OSL’s 75th Anniversary in 2021 so we can keep our focus where it needs to be – on our mission of connecting faith with everyday life.
- NOTE: this slide still needs to be developed. Thanks to your generosity … the interest on our debt mortgage is being paid through our annual operating budget. Mission Possible will pay off the mortgage principal; outside of the operating budget. By paying this debt by 2021 we will save $1.8 million dollars in interest! We owe it to ourselves, our children and grandchildren to handle this now. Since the interest is in the operating budget, EVERY DOLLAR RAISED by Mission Possible will reduce the mortgage debt.
- Here are some examples of what is possible when our mortgage debt is paid and we have more resources for living our mission … (NOTE: there is where we will add a few testimonials about what we could do without the mortgage debt payment and maybe some pictures of word AND LET’S ADD WORDS THAT DESCRIBE WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING WOULD BE POSSIBILITIES)
