Updated Information – All Services and Activities Cancelled Through March

Dear Our Savior Family,

As you know we are facing unprecedented times in our nation and in our world. As a result many are feeling fearful and uncertain. Your pastor and your leaders want you to know that we are taking steps to ensure the safety of God’s people in this place. Realizing that the situation remains very fluid with new changes coming our way almost daily, here are the changes we are implementing at this time:

After a lot of prayer and agonizing conversation, we have decided to cancel services at Our Savior through the end of March. This decision came following the Governor’s Executive Order to not allow gatherings of more than 50 people.

I want to make myself available for prayer or words of encouragement if you need them. Call me on my cell at 815-483-8363.

Soon we will be posting links on our church website and Facebook page with worship resources for use at home. We are also exploring the option of some live streaming of messages.

As God’s people, we know that no matter how difficult things get, the Lord is with us, He is on our side! At times like these, the Church has an incredible opportunity to shine. We can join Jesus as His ambassadors of peace and hope! We have Good News to share!

“Don’t worry about anything; pray about everything, with thanksgiving. And the peace of God which passes all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.” Phillipians 4:6-7

 “Peace I leave with you; My peace I give you. I do not give you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid”
John 14:27

“I have told you these things so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
John 16:33

Reminder: We won’t have church services this weekend but that doesn’t mean we can’t be church. Take time to call the people who sit around you in worship and those who are isolated because of lock downs! That’s how we join Jesus in growing faith, friendships and family.

Blessings,
Pastor Loy Schlote
