General, Topical, and Interest Groups

Conversations with God is a group of pray-ers who meet at 7:00 a.m. on Wednesdays in the Chapel to pray for individual and community concerns.
Knitters and Crocheters knit prayer and baptismal shawls for use in the ministries of Our Savior’s. They do so individually but periodically come together to share their creations and ministry. The group meets on the first and third Tuesday of the month, from 9:30 to 11:00 a.m., in the Oasis Room. Check the OSL calendar for specific dates.

Here are the patterns that the group uses:

OSL’s Peace by Piece Quilters turn fabric into quilts to be sent around the world—no small task, but the quilters at OSL have it down to a science. The quilters meet twice a month, every other Tuesday, cutting, pinning, sewing, tying, and enjoying fellowship as they go. Check the OSL calendar for specific dates.

Dinner to your Door gathers cooks to prepare meals that are frozen and then brought out to members and friends who are in need of a prepared meal—such as a family with a new baby, a person who is recovering from surgery, or someone who has had a death in the family. Kept in the freezer at OSL, members are welcome to take a meal out to someone they know at any time. The Dinner to your Door group makes sure the freezer is stocked with good, nourishing meals that embody the care of the community.

Wednesday Night Servers, also known as the Kitchen Crew, serves food, does dishes, and may even sweep a floor or two–and has a lot of fun doing it. Behind-the-scenes is often where the best laughs are shared and the most meaningful connections made.

Offering Counters come together on Monday mornings to count the weekly offering. If you have a talent for numbers and would like to share your Monday morning coffee with others, this may be the place for you.
