Faith In Action   
Greetings Everyone!

Faith in Action's first fall outreach is this weekend!  Join us Saturday, October 20, from 8:00am-12:00pm. Our main objective this month is to revitalize the Tillicum neighborhood of Lakewood in partnership with Habitat for Humanity and funded by Thrivent Repairs.  If we have enough help, there are several other projects lined up this month. This newsletter will provide you with project descriptions as well as important links that will get you connected.

Please remember to let Jeff Pielak know BEFORE Saturday if he can count you in.  It is VERY HELPFUL for volunteers to RSVP.  Knowing our numbers helps us to plan projects, line up materials, and prepare lunch.


First time volunteers, in addition to your RSVP, please submit a VOLUNTEER SURVEY.

 

Neighborhood Revitalization
Painting Project in Lakewood

PaintingThe word is out that Our Savior Lutheran serves through Faith in Action. Habitat for Humanity has once again asked for our help.  Habitat has partnered with Thrivent to revitalize the Tillicum neighborhood in Lakewood, and at least 10 painters are needed THIS WEEKEND. If you've been meaning to get involved with Faith in Action, but haven't had the chance, this is the opportunity you've been waiting for.

 

Email Jeff Pielak today and let him know to count you in.

More Requests from the Community
Lots to Do

Faith In Action Our main goal this month is to paint a home in Lakewood, but if we get enough hands on deck, we have several other requests for help.  We've been asked to pressure wash a nearby home, to install safety rails for a senior, and fix floors for another friend of OSLC.  Help us say, "YES," to these requests and more. 

 

Jeff is waiting to hear from you.

Join Us for Lunch
Food, Fun, and Fellowship

LunchPutting faith into action can create an appetite!  Thank goodness Lee Mincey can cook!!  You haven't lived until you've had his famous Mac 'N Cheese.  Join us at 12:00 noon for a hosted lunch after a job well done. Our treat.

Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.  1 Cor 15:58
