Faith in Action…We are
called to serve others.
The opportunity to make a
difference in another person’s life is at the heart of our volunteer experience
here at Our Saviour’s. It is at the core of our Christian faith. We have so
many stories to tell.
As a way to share those stories
we are launching a new video series. This Faith in Action series will
highlight the mission work that is being carried on every day here at Our
Saviour’s. It is intended to be an educational and inspirational resource for
our congregation and the greater Naperville area. Our goal is to share our
serving philosophy while also showcasing the work of our mission partners.
The opportunity to make a
difference in someone’s life is at the heart of our volunteer experience at Our
Saviour’s. We recognize that volunteers are our most valuable resource and
connection to our community, the nation and the world. As we serve those in
need we are ambassadors for Jesus.
We must challenge
ourselves to
live out the gospels in our daily lives. Not only on Sundays, but
especially when and where it is tough, challenging and uncomfortable.
Join us for stories that share the hope and
comfort our faith community is providing those in need every day and please
let us know of your stories to give comfort and hope as you act upon your
faith.
Faith in Action… Isn’t
that what Jesus would do?
Distribution
DVDs
will be available in volumes. Each volume will
feature two or three different ministries that are related to each
other. We will be giving away these DVDs with a suggested donation of
ten dollars. About 75% of your donation will go directly to the
specific ministries which the volume
you purchased highlights. This means that by simply picking up a DVD
and donating, you are helping Our
Saviour's support these ministries!
Our Saviour's has partnered with NCTV
Channel 17, Naperville's Community Television Channel, to aid us with
the production of Faith in Action. NCTV is allowing us to use their camera and
lighting equipment to tape the videos. Each volume of Faith in Action will be
aired on the channel as a way for Our Saviour's to reach out into the
Naperville Community and get more people involved with these wonderful mission
opportunities. We would like to thank Elizabeth Spencer,
Executive Director of NCTV 17, for giving us this wonderful opportunity to
reach out into the community and encourage more people to join Our Saviour's as
we turn our Faith into Action and make a difference!

- DuPage PADS - Carol Simler, Executive Director
