Prayer If there is something in your life that you would like help praying for, we are always willing to accept Prayer Requests. Our Savior Lutheran Church is totally funded by Sunday morning offerings and special gifts from friends. From the electricity to the staff salaries to the hymnals in the pews, without the generosity of God's people, none of it would be possible. "Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work." 2 Corinthians 9:6-9

Sunday Morning Worship Services

8:15a.m.  is a traditional, organ led worship service using Divine Service II from Lutheran Worship for communion and Divine Service, Setting Three from the Lutheran Service Book. The service often includes a children's message and special music. Communion is celebrated on the 1st and 3rd Sundays.

10:45a.m. is a spoken worship based on the Divine Service II liturgy from Lutheran Worship.  Our music is led by a worship band and contains contemporary music as well as traditional hymns. Like our traditional service, it is family friendly with a children's message. We use multimedia technology which allows us to communicate the ancient, neverchanging Word of God using modern means. Communion is normally celebrated on the 2nd and 4th Sundays at 10:45am.

Bible Study

Sunday Mornings at 9:37am, we study God's Word alternating between topical studies such as: "A ToolTime Marriage," "Living in a PostModern Church," and "ACTS: the Original Ancient Future Church" and studies of specific books of the Bible.

From September through May we meet at the Mission Center for a weekday Bible study (call the church office to find out what we're studying and when.)

Nursery

Our Savior believes strongly that all children belong in worship, but we also understand some kids aren't quite ready to sit through an hour long service.

There is a NURSERY AVAILABLE for children four and under during Sunday morning worship. Our volunteers are happy to help watch your children. The nursery is located next to the sanctuary (just look for the sign that says "FaithIsland/Nursery." It opens as soon as our volunteer arrives and closes up shortly after the 10:45am service ends.

If you are interested in helping as a nursery volunteer, please speak with Pastor Mitch. A love for kids and a willingness to read a few stories or play some great games is a must!

Fellowship

Fellowship is an important part of Sunday Morning worship. Between services there is always coffee and tea available.

On the Second Sunday of each month, the LWML has a goodie bake sale featuring all sorts of homemade (and other) brownies, cookies and cakes. The proceeds of the bake sale go toward a scholarship fund for students at Our Savior Lutheran School and Lutheran High School of Hawaii.
