Pursuing God's HopE
for Every Life

February 2025

We are blessed to be a diverse congregation. One of the ways we celebrate that diversity is through focusing on Black History Month. Throughout the month of February, our worship will focus on the contributions of significant Black theologians - from the early church patriarchs to the founder of the African Methodist Episcopal denomination to modern liberation theologies.

Friday, February 21 from 9:30-10:30AM

Halle Bo Bally is an interactive storytime for children with plenty of singing, dancing, and fun to go around. Cost is $10 per family with two children and $5 per child thereafter. Payable by cash or Venmo on site.

Have you considered taking the next step in connecting your faith and the church by becoming a member of Church of the Saviour? Membership is like becoming a stakeholder - making the shift from participating to shaping who we are and what we do together. Embark is a 90-minute session orienting you to some of the details about life at COTS - who we are, what we believe and why, where we focus our energy, and how we grow in God's grace together. Lunch is included and childcare is available upon request.

Tuesday, February 25 from 10:00AM-4:00PM

All members of the community are encouraged to participate in our next American Red Cross Blood Drive. Appointments are required. Please schedule online using the church's zip code of 44118 or call 1-800-RED-CROSS. Those who donate on 2/5 will receive a $15 e-gift card for a merchant of choice.

Friday-Sunday, February 28 - March 2

The COTS ❤ Cedar Lee initiative is a fun and easy way for our church family to care for and have a positive impact on our community the first weekend of every month. It is as easy as stopping at your favorite business or patronizing your favorite restaurant in the Cedar Lee district. However you choose to participate, be kind, leave a tip, and show the community you care! Buttons and business cards are available at COTS welcome desks to help spread awareness.

Wednesday, March 5 at 12:00PM & 7:00PM

Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the Christian season of Lent. It is a time to explore the fragility of life, the inevitability of death, and our constant need of God’s grace. Join us for worship at a midday or evening service. Both will include the imposition of ashes and a time of confession and renewal.

Monday, March 10 at 6:30PM

The purpose of this group is to facilitate discussion surrounding the challenges faced by individuals who care for loved ones with dementia. We meet the second Monday of the month and welcome anyone in our community who wishes to attend. Leaders of the group are two church members who have both completed training through the Alzheimer’s Association and have personal family experience with this difficult diagnosis.

Wednesday & Thursday, March 12 & 13

We serve dinner at CrossRoads Men's Shelter at The City Mission the 2nd Thursday of each month from about 4:45-6:45PM. A meal for 70-100 people is prepared on the preceding Wednesday evening in COTS' kitchen from about 7-8:30PM. Each effort takes 6–10 people. Come help out each month or whenever you can. We’d love to include you, even if it’s a one-time opportunity. Contact the church office to participate in either the meal prep or serving.

Monday & Wednesdays, January 8 - March 26

This group meets from 6:30-9:30PM in Calvary Hall. There is a $6.00 walk in fee that is payable directly to the club organizers via cash, Venmo, Zelle, or PayPal.
