​Internship? What does an intern offer OSLC and what does OSLC offer to an intern?
 
A few months ago, I was approached by the pastor of a neighboring congregation about the possibility of sharing an intern this year. The more I thought about this possibility the more excited I became. To have the opportunity to help shape a future pastor would be an honor. I know that Our Savior’s has had interns in the past but thought as a reminder to those who remember this and for those who haven’t had the opportunity to be involved in this process perhaps I should share a few thoughts on this possibility.
 
From the interns stand point, this is a time to grow and learn what it means to be a part of a Christian community as they continue to gain practical experience. They have had the classes but internship allows them to put what they learned to work. To gain a better understanding of what the life of a pastor is all about. They will change over the year of internship in their understanding and confidence in leading worship, preaching and other aspects of pastoral care.
 
From our congregation’s stand point, internship can be viewed as stewardship, we are using our talents and gifts to help train up a new pastor. I think this is the truest form of stewardship we can have. Yes, this will have a monetary impact of our budget but I think we will reap far more than we sow. The intern will become part of our family, we can all have a hand to helping them as they prepare for the ministry. We as a congregation will see them involved in all aspects of our church; helping with the youth and confirmation, Bible studies, visiting, leading worship and preaching on occasion. We will all have the thrill of seeing them grow in their leadership skills and to have a direct impact on the pastor they will become. This can be a very rewarding experience for OSLC.
 
From your pastors stand point, I am excited with the opportunity be a mentor to a seminary student. I have very fond memories of my internship and the relationships I formed with my supervisor and with the Colman and Midway congregations. I think that as a second career pastor I also bring life’s struggles and real-life experiences that I can share with someone else taking the same journey that I did several years ago.
 
Please prayerfully consider what Our Savior’s as an internship site; can offer to us and the intern, as we will discuss this at the annual meeting and as we vote on the proposed budget.
 
Blessings to you,
Pastor Alan

​Open to Serve a Loving Christ

Our Saviors Lutheran Church is a member of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, South Dakota Synod. Northern European immigrants who settled here on the prairie founded our congregation in 1880. That same pioneer spirit continues to flourish, energize and motivate our members. This is most evident in our worship life, through the use of a variety of liturgies and special music. Our congregation is blessed with talented musicians, vocalists, a bell choir, childrens choir and the Savior Singers Choir.   Members actively participate in Sunday worship, serving as readers, greeters, communion assistants, and ushers. Our members provide energetic leadership in all aspects of congregational life, including worship, education, youth, and the women's organizations. Education is the cornerstone of our life as a faith community. Our children in Sunday School learn stories of the bible, our confirmation students have class on Wednesday evenings as does our high school youth group,  and our adults continue to grow in their faith through  bible study classes.  To learn more about our congregation please click on the links above.
