Ministry
Fellowship is the sharing of similar interests, ideals, or experiences with other members through education and ministry at Our Savior's. Listed below are many of the ways that fellowship is nourished at Our Savior's. If you are interested in opportunities to get acquainted with others in our church family, please contact the church office at (319) 365-9159.
"Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them:
if prophecy, in proportion to our faith;
if service, in our servicing;
he who teaches, in his teaching;
he who exhorts, in his exhortation;
he who contributes, in liberality;
he who gives aid, with zeal;
he who does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness."
Romans 12: 6-8
