April is Mission Partners Month at Our Savior’s

We look forward to the Sundays in April this year as a way to celebrate the partnerships we share in mission and outreach into our community. Each week we’ll have a chance to welcome those who share in Christ’s mission in the world. April 12 Open Door Ministry with Rev Rick Pribernow.

Open Door Ministry is a part of the Northwest Washington Synod of the ELCA and has worked to deepen the sense of welcome and advocacy of the Church for the LGBTQ community. They provide education and counseling to groups and individuals and share referrals to services and community agencies. April 19 The Ugandan Children’s Choir

This will be the forth visit of this energetic group of young dancers and singers from Uganda. They share faith, stories and art as they rejoice in God’s goodness even in the most difficult of circumstances. April 26 Bethany of the Northwest with Rev Rod Vereb

Bethany of the Northwest is a continuing care ministry, dedicated to enhancing the quality and dignity of life of those who we serve, out of love for God and neighbor. BNW has been in the Everett area for over 75 years, but it’s not the “old folks home” on Broadway many remember from days past. May 10 Our own South Everett Neighborhood Center with Familas Unidas

Winnie Corral helps direct important work among our neighbors right here on Our Savior’s own campus. The SENC is a non-denominational, non-partisan family support center and a program of Lutheran Community Services Northwest. The Center is open to all regardless of age, gender, marital status, sexual orientation, race, creed, color, national origin, or existence of any handicaps. Their mission is to work with partners, individuals, families and communities for the sake of health, justice and hope. They provide a variety of resources and services including help with applying for DSHS food stamps, document translation, notary services, ELL classes, writing resumes, support groups, and free community events.

Come and worship. Pray for these partners in Christ’s mission in the World. Meet the people, hear the stories and see the ways we can share in God’s work in the World.

Adult Education in April Sunday Mornings

Our Savior's Sunday adult education hours during the month of April will include a series of forums and events:

April 12th features Reverend Rick Pribbernow of Open Door Ministries, an Extended Ministry of the NW Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Seattle that specifically serves the Gay community.

Born in the 1990's from ELCA Bishop Lowell Knutson's concern about the lack of Lutheran church support for gay and lesbian Christians and their families, Open Door has since provided counseling, referral, and support to over 21,000 people dealing with their faith and HIV/AIDS and gay and lesbians issues.

Reverend Rick Pribbernow has served at Open Door's chaplain and director for the past 18 years. You can learn more about Open Door Ministries at their website at http://www.opendoorelca.org/.

April 19th will be given over to a sharing time with the very popular Ugandan Kids Choir visiting Our Savior's that Sunday. The Choir will perform at 10:00 am in the Fellowship Center.

April 26 will bring a presentation from Everett’s Bethany of the Northwest on the very relevant topic of How to Deal with Aging Parents. Bethany of the Northwest is a continuing care ministry, dedicated to enhancing the quality and dignity of the life of those whom they serve, out of love for God and neighbor. You can learn more about Bethany from their website: http://bethanynw.org/wordpress/?post.

Wednesday Evenings

Our Quiltmakers express their love of community through the quilts they make

Our Quiltmakers, Marilyn Bloomfield, Leasha Brown, Billie Fisher, Susan Olson, Pat Joramo, Judy Kebbekus, Alma Knudsen, Dorothy Roalkvam, and Margaret Larsen, made 55 quilts this past fall and winter. The quilts are always designated to be donated to local non-profit agencies who work with the homeless and marginalized. Besides being warm, they are also beautiful and made with love.

The quilts were recently blessing and distributed to the Interfaith Family Shelter (41) and to Cocoon House (14). A value of $1925 was determined for the donation.

The staff at the Interfaith Family Shelter said the quilts were an answer to prayer, they had only 2 blankets left in storage. They were so grateful and sent their thanks.

The Quiltmakers meet the 1st and 4th Wednesday of the month at 10:00 am and again on the 2nd Saturday of the month at 11:00 am. If you can tie a knot, you can help!

O ur Saviors L utheran Church

Do you recognize the picture above?

We all need a quiet place to rest and pray - to simply sit in the presence of God. Jesus often went to quiet places to pray (Matthew 14:23, Mark 1:35, 6:46, Luke 6:12, 9:18, 11:1). If you are looking for a quiet place to pray the prayer garden might be the perfect spot. Take a walk past the nursery and as you come around the building you will find the prayer garden. Pam Karas

Internet Resources related to prayer: http-//www.luthersem.edu/email/email.asp Once into the website then it's in the left column that's titled "God Pause Daily Devotions". http://www.prayingchurch.com/ http://www.sacredspace.ie/ http://www.pray-as-you-go.org

They w ent to a p lace called G ethsem ane,

and Jesus said to h is d iscip les, “Sit here

w hile I pray.”

M ark 14:32

We pray for: Christians who are being persecuted for their faith All those who are ill Students and teachers

The homeless in our community Those who are suffering loss Peace in all places where there is conflict
