Groups meet at Our Saviour's unless otherwise indicated. For questions about any of these small groups or to sign up, please contact the church office.
Banner Team
This team meets as needed throughout the year to produce seasonal banners for worship. We are always looking for creative minds to join us, as well as sewers.
Beading Ministry
Meets on the last Thursday of the month, 7:00 p.m.
Do you love to make things from beads? Do you want to learn to make things from beads? This group enjoys fellowship while making prayer beads, 23rd Psalm bracelets, and many other Christian gifts that are given out by the pastors and BeFrienders. The beaders have also made hundreds of beaded items to be given out to people who are hurting, hungry, and or sick.
Meditation Garden Team
Meets on the third Tuesday of the month, 6:30 p.m.
Are you a flower and plant lover? Is your thumb green? Then you need to join this team of earth lovers! This team of gardeners has created and maintains the gardens at Our Saviour's. The group sponsors two fundraisers each year: a spring annual and perennial sale and a poinsettia and wreath sale in the fall. The funds go toward flowers, boulders, mulch, etc. The group shares the labor of planting, weeding, and watering the gardens.
Prayer Shawl Ministry
Do you enjoy knitting or crocheting? Consider making prayer shawls for those who would welcome the comfort of prayer. Prayer shawls are knit or crocheted by people from Our Saviour's. A prayer shawl is intended to be a reminder of God's ever present love which is as near to us as our own body is to our spirit. It is a gift for every time and every occasion, joyful or sorrowful, for every season and circumstance of life, when we are weeping or celebrating. Prayers are said over the shawl as it is being made and the knitter/crocheter dedicates it to God and His purposes. These shawls are distributed to those who are suffering from illness or grief.

The Thursday Morning Quilters meet twice a month to tie quilts for mission. Last year 48 quilts were given to Lutheran World Relief as well as the Alexandra House, Jesus Delivers, Habitat for Humanity, and needs within our own community. We welcome anyone who wishes to join us and learn to tie quilts while making new friends! If you can tie a knot, you can be part of this group!
