In Sympathy
Our Christian sympathy is extended to David and Percy Bleier, Daniel and Heather Bleier and
family as they mourn the death of RON BLEIER. Ron died in the Lord on June 17, 2021 at the
age of 86. He and his wife Rita, who preceded him in death on February 29, 2020, were longtime
members of Our Savior until they moved to North Carolina 8 years ago. Ron was an usher at our
early service and always served as a "Trustee," on our property board. As a professional painter
he donated many hours of his time painting in our church and school. A memorial service is being
held in North Carolina.
Dear OSL Community,
If you knew Jenn McGinnis, chances are you loved her --
her enthusiasm, her creativity, her honesty and
intelligence, her love for her family and friends, her
fearless defense of any underdog. Her tragic passing last
Saturday has left us all devastated. As a preschool
assistant teacher for years here and mother to two of our
elementary students, she touched so many lives.
The family has chosen Saturday, July 10, at 1:00 pm as a
time for all Jenn's family and friends to gather in our
sanctuary for a Memorial Service to honor her memory
and celebrate her life. I am sure we will hear more later,
and at that time I will share with you.
Thanking you for your outpouring of love and concern for
the family,
Ms. Root

everyone involved, saying that it was a
very thoughtful gesture and a nice
surprise.
Included in the bags were thank you cards, t-shirts, Dunkin gift cards, little snacks, and much
more. Thank you to the Women’s Group for putting this all together and to everyone else who
helped donate items and stuff bags and envelopes. What a great way to show appreciation to all
the staff who have worked so hard during this pandemic.
