Congratulations to our Confirmation Class of 2009!

On Sunday, May 31st 2009, Our Savior Lutheran Church welcomed six new members into its adult congregation: Christina Holland, Stephanie Holland, Alexa Holland, Stephen Byrne, Gabriel Blackburn and Chris Bretz.

Each is a graduated member of the Our Savior Lutheran Church confirmation class of 2009. We have been looking forward to this event for some time and it was quite a celebration when we were able to induct them as adult Lutherans into our Church membership. We held an Ice Cream Social for our confirmation class and plenty of parishioners, family members, and well-wishers stayed to congratulate. We will continue to pray for them and their spiritual mentors as they walk in Christ together in the famiy of God at Our Savior Lutheran Church.

Best wishes to Christina, Stephanie, Alexa, Stephen, Gabriel and Chris on making this milestone in their spiritual journeys!

Receive, Rejoice and Respond! Ginny's Fund Raising Dinner

On April 5th our congregation had the pleasure of supporting a long time member with a fund raising dinner following our Palm Sunday Worship. Over $1800 was received through the donations and response of many friends and family along with matching funds from Thrivent for $1000.00 It is a joy and priviledge to help someone in a time of need. Ginny hopes to be back to work soon with a positive follow up from the doctors this week. Amen and thanks to the many people from our membership, friends, Arts and Crafts Community, and more who made this event so much fun! Pictured here is Boogertown Gap, friends of Ginny's and the communities who gave their gift of music along with silent auction items to help make the dinner a success. Other donations from Paul Murray Studio, G Webb Gallery, and so many more made the auction fun and a complete success! Thanks to so many who gave gifts of love in the name of Jesus Christ!

December 5th Festival of Lights Parade

It's time for the parade again and we are excited to participate. Our entry is "The Light Has Come!" We bring our message of the Light of the World, Jesus Christ, to the streets on December 5th as Gatlinburg celebrates the Festival of Lights parade. What a joy it is to share the Light of the World as we remind folks what Jesus told us in John 8:12 that HE is the Light of the World, those who follow will not walk in darkness but have the Light of the World!

FIN Kid's Cafe Program brings Big Blessings to members of OSLC

It is hard to guess who is receiving the biggest blessings at the new Our Savior Lutheran Church in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. With it's new afterschool program where children are invited to come at no cost to play games, have homework help, a large hot meal, and hearty worship, the blessings are great! Each Thursday at 3:30 the church comes alive with volunteers and kids who come to grow in fellowship with each other. We have a full intergenerational program where children are greeted by loving adults, ready to spend specific time with each child. Games such as Battleship, Connect Four and Scrabble are played, Home work help is offered , but even more the one on one fellowship is where the ministry really begins. In this photo we see Jim Faig - president of Friends in Need shaking hands with Matt Kulp, Our Savior Lutheran Church President. It is a joy to see folks working together in minstry!
