Who Should Receive OSLC’s Micah Award This Year?
We invite members and friends of OSLC to nominate one or two persons in our congregation to be recognized as a MICAH Award recipient(s) this fall.
Micah 6:8 “And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.”
The Micah Award should be given to someone who exemplifies this Scripture. They are someone who is a real model of faith by their words and actions. They could be someone who does incredible community service, who always volunteers to help when help is needed, be it through work, prayer, and/or financial support.
Previous Micah award winners have been John Fenley & Madeline Boughter, Dan Cofell & John Erickson, Gisela Jones, Wendy and Paul Manganiello, Peggy Sadler, Liese Shewmaker, and Irma and Woody Graf. Please do not cast your vote for them.
To submit your nominee(s) and let us know why you’ve chosen that person or person, complete this OSLC Micah Award Nomination form.

Turn ordinary items into extraordinary gifts!
At OSLC, we are supplying and packaging “Baby Care Kits” for Lutheran World Relief (LWR). Completed kits are distributed by LWR to those most in need as part of Project Promise, the same program to which we send our school kits and our quilts. Last year we sent 15 kits and this year our goal is to send 20-25! These kits are then included with the quilts and school kits that will be shipped in May 2019.
How you can help:
LWR has provided clear instructions on what items should be in each kit. (They must be sensitive to the many laws regarding imports to various countries.) At OSLC, we’re hoping to make it easy to participate.
You’ll find a ‘clothesline’ display in the narthex. Simply pick as many items as you wish to purchase/contribute and return the item(s) to OSLC. We’ll have a “Baby Care Kit” container outside of the Church Office, so you can turn in the items whenever you have them. The deadline is Sunday, April 28.
If you have any questions, please contact Kari Jo Grant or the church office. Thank you for your generosity!
