Our Savior Presbyterian Church

This year OSPC has the privilege of hosting FPC LeClaire each Wednesday of Lent. Pastor Melody and Pastor Pat will share in leading worship. Each week during Lent we will remove one candle from each candelabra as a symbol of the coming darkness of Christ’s passion. Lent is a significant time for spiritual renewal and wonderful fellowship mid-week, so plan to join together as fellow believers in Christ.

“Art of Living Waters” at OSPC

March 1- 15

The congregations of the Presbytery of East Iowa display their visual artwork celebrating the biblical story of Jesus and the ‘Woman at the Well” (John 4:1-42) through a variety of media.

Pastor Pat and Lori Miller have donated works.

All proceeds from the artwork sold through the online auction will be used in the continuing efforts to rebuild and restore eastern Iowa communities impacted by the Floods of 2008.

The artwork will be available for sale throughout the exhibition’s tour, October 13, 2009 – May 11, 2010. Online auction site: www.peia.org

ONE GREAT HOUR OF SHARING

For more than 50 years, Presbyterians have joined with Christians throughout the nation in supporting One Great Hour of Sharing, responding to Christ's love for all people by joyfully sharing that love with people in need. The refugee and the stranger have found food and safe shelter; those stunned by the aftermath of disasters have found relief and help rebuilding; and communities seeking to take control of their future have found partners in development.

After deducting administrative costs (up to 5 percent) and the costs of creating and distributing promotional materials (roughly 5 percent), the remaining undesignated gifts are divided among three programs as follows:

Presbyterian Hunger Program (36 percent) For ministries working to alleviate hunger and eliminate its causes, responding with compassion and justice to poor and hungry people in local communities, in the nation and throughout the world, as well as ministries addressing homelessness and affordable housing.

Presbyterian Disaster Assistance (32 percent) For disaster response and ministries with refugees.

Self-Development of People (32 percent) For partnerships with groups of people who are oppressed by poverty or social systems, who want to take charge of their own lives, have organized to do something about their own condition, and have decided what they need to do to produce long-term benefits for themselves.

We will collect the OGHS offering during March.
