CARE

How can we help you?

Our Saviour’s demonstrates our Christian spirit of caregiving through compassionate care for all of God’s people. We strive to ensure every member of our church family, who is in need, receives compassionate and appropriate support. 

“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”

John 13: 34-35

A Service of Remembrance is offered in early December for those who would like to take a break from the hustle and bustle just to be still and honor those who can’t be with us at Christmas. One of the pastors or a guest speaker leads this service, followed by refreshments. 

Remembrance Tree – During the month of December, the Remembrance Tree in the Chapel is a way to remember in a special way, loved ones who have died by writing the name on a bow, placing the bow on our Tree of Remembrance and then removing from the tree a special ornament to take with you.
