Adults will attend an informative and enjoyable study on the early church and adoption of the Nicene Creed. Childcare for infants and toddlers (not yet potty trained) will be provided.Each night will finish with a short vespers service in the OSL sanctuary designed to resemble those practiced by early Christians in the third century A.D.

Our Savior Lutheran School presented its annual Oratio Eloquentium competition, on April 29. Oratio Eloquentium is Latin for eloquent speaking. This competition for the 6th - 8th grade students emphasized three of the five cannons of Rhetoric - style, memory, and delivery. Students memorized verses, poems, speeches and letters from the Literature Learn By Heart curriculum.
The winners of the 2015 Oratio Eloquentium were: 1st Place - Gabe Mount, presenting Shakespeare’s Henry V “Saint Crispin’s Day”, 2nd Place - Eli Fischer presenting Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Raven”, and 3rd Place - Bella Adams also presenting Shakespeare’s Henry V “Saint Crispin’s Day.” The other finalists were Emily Cherington and Madeline Stephens presenting Queen Elizabeth the First’s “Golden Speech,” and Skylar Armstrong presenting Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream.” All the students did an excellent job showcasing the Learn By Heart curriculum, the hard work and practice they dedicated, and the eloquence and talent God has given them.
