Our Savior is blessed with vibrant young people, and this June we joyfully celebrate our graduating seniors and look forward to exciting summer opportunities for children and youth. From a special blessing service for graduates to enriching experiences at Vacation Bible Camp, Crossroads Camp, and our Youth Mission Trip, we are committed to nurturing the faith and growth of the next generation.
Congratulations to Our Graduating High School Seniors!
Graduating Senior Blessing and Afghan Rite on June 22 @ 9:30 Worship
Graduating high school seniors from Our Savior will be able to participate in the Graduate Blessing Service that includes the presentation of an afghan with their confirmation verse and initials embroidered on it that is presented by their parents prior to parents blessing their child followed by their child blessing them.
