Helping Our Neighbors 
Through this time of Stay-at-Home orders and furloughs our neighbors are in more need than ever. Over the next three months, we will highlight organizations that Our Saviour actively supports throughout the year. Each month we will expand our circle of neighbors, from local, to statewide, to worldwide. This month, we have a unique opportunity to give locally.

Helping Ministries Continue in Challenging Times
Led by Mark Knisely, our Continuity of Ministry Committee has met almost weekly since first created at the March council meeting. Members are Mark Knisely, both pastors, Troy Stansell, Cathy Cogdill, Brad Stewart, Cathy Miller, Laurie Sanders, and Jerry Hoke. They function to keep all of us safe and to keep ministries going in these unusual times, and they are just starting to work on a plan to bring us back together, step by step, whenever it is safe to do so.
