Dear Friends in Christ,

As you know OSLC participated in a Comprehensive Ministry Review (CMR) and we are beginning to act on the recommendations put forth by the Synod and prioritized by our Church Council. This is the first of many communications that should keep you abreast of the process, its evolution, and how you, a member of OSLC, can become involved and provide necessary input so OSLC can grow and be affective in our responsibility to worship God and serve our community.

One of the first and priority recommendations was to create an Action Team, and we’ve responded. Our goal was to gather a diverse team that would do just that, take action. This team, initially be led by Scott Olson, will kick off a meeting on Wednesday evening. Scott will use a process that can get repeated at regular intervals to promote continuous communication, growth, learning and improvement. If you’re not currently involved, there will be more opportunities down the road, so feel free to contact us if interested; not only do we plan to leverage the synod’s CMR recommendations, but also generate exciting opportunities that will engage more of OSLC membership.

We’re excited about the opportunities ahead of us and hope for your continued prayers and support as we kick off this endeavor.
