Come Celebrate God's Love with Us
Our Saviour Lutheran Church has worship service every Sunday morning at 9 a.m.
Our services are also broadcast live over the radio so that
you can listen in the church parking lot with your radio tuned to 88.7 FM.
You can also check out the recorded sermons to listen to a past message you might have missed.
We hope to see you there.
Did you know we are handicap-accessible?
You will find no stairs are required from the parking lot
through the main entrance to the sanctuary, fellowship hall, or restrooms.
You can find us on Main Street a mile and half north of the center of the Town of Normal, IL,
near the confluence of Interstates 55, 74, and 39,
so you may have already seen us on your way in or out of town.
Next Sunday, feel free to stop by and join us.
Holy Week Worship Plans
The time has come. The long Lent is over. The days of Holy Week and the celebration of Easter are upon us.
There is no substitute for the joy of gathering in Jesus' name to hear the Word and to offer our prayer and praise.
I look forward to sharing these days with you. Below you will find an update on our Holy Week services.
The practice of wearing masks and social distancing will be observed at all Holy Week services.

Weather permitting, Palm Sunday worship will begin outside at 9 a.m.
and will include a procession around the parking lot and in the sanctuary.
Those who prefer to be seated in the sanctuary may do so.
Those who prefer to remain in their cars may do so.
The service will be held in the sanctuary and broadcast to the parking lot.

Puppet Theater Is Back
Our Saviour Lutheran Church is excited to announce the return of some old friends.
During the time of the children's sermon on each fifth Sunday,
our young church-goeers (and the young-at-heart) will get to see and hear a message communicated to them via one of our puppet people.
Check out a video of the first of these wonderful little skits.

If you are interested in being a blood donor, you can either sign-up from the OSLC website, online through the Red Cross website, or by contacting the Red Cross at 1-800-RED CROSS.
