Our Saviour Lutheran Church
Where we are gathered to celebrate God’s love for us revealed in Jesus!
Fifth Sunday in Lent April 6, 2025
As we gather for worship this Sunday
Being a tenant might not seem great. You have to conform to your landlord’s rules and pay your rent on time. In Sunday’s parable, these are precisely the things that the religious leaders in Jesus’s day were not doing. So, God was about to let-out His vineyard to new tenants—us! Through Jesus, the kingdom of God is ours to live in already now, and enjoy forever in heaven. Can you believe it? What a tremendous gift!
Readings: Isaiah 43:16–21 Philippians 3:4–14 Luke 20:9–20
Music: Bless the Lord, O My Soul The Church’s One Foundation
Christ Is Our Cornerstone Take My Life, O Lord, Renew To God be the Glory

Continue this week—9:00 to 9:45 AM in the Gathering Room. This week we will be reading Psalm 30. You do not need to study it ahead of time, but doing so will give you a running start on the discussion.
Midweek Lenten Services continue this coming Wednesday at 7:00 PM. The theme is “Words That Last Forever”—the 7 final things Jesus said on the cross. This week’s word is FINISHED.
The following week, which is Holy Week, the series continues on Maundy Thursday, April 17; Good Friday, April 18, and Easter Sunday, April 20.
“Faith and Family” Bible study series continues next Thursday, April 10.
We’ll be discussing how to verbally share our faith within our households and extended families, even if they not share our convictions. Come and join the conversation! It’s been a rich and productive one so far.
