Jenny Boyce, R.N., B.S.N., P.N. Parish Nurse parishnurse@oslc-wi.org	I graduated from UW-Milwaukee with a BSN degree in 1987. I have worked in medical/surgical, cardiac ICU, cardiac surgery, dialysis, home care, and also disease management and health education. I obtained my Parish Nurse degree at Concordia University in 2007. My true love of health care is disease management and health education. I feel there can never be enough support to assist with managing chronic disease. I also feel there is a big gap in the present health care system with the education and prevention component needed to stay well. My nursing ministry encompasses that a person consists of mind, body and spirit. To achieve wellness and preservation of one’s self these must all be addressed and nurtured.

She wants children to feel that church is a fun, exciting, and safe place to be.
Kris Gallert Program Manager, Children's Ministries kris@oslc-wi.org	"In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths" Proverbs 3:6 This to me is the theme to my life! After much prayer, God has directed my path to this awesome church. Daily I thank Him for the opportunity to serve here! God has blessed me in too many ways to count! He has surrounded me with friends and family here in Oconomowoc where I have been a life long resident. He has given me an amazingly supportive husband of 15 years, Scott, and two full of life boys, Jacob and Ryan! He has also given me a love for kids and a passion for sharing Jesus with them! I would have never guessed I would eventually be working with children; but God has a way of making things happen for His glory! I am excited to teach kids about the wonderful love of Jesus. The earlier we begin teaching them, the stronger their faith will be and the better equipped they are to face whatever life has in store for them. On my days off, I enjoy gardening, playing with our two black labs, and "just hanging out" with family. If you have a love of chilren too, I encourage you to come share the joy of Children's Ministries.

Lana Moore Church Administrator lmoore@oslc-wi.org	I am so excited to have the position of Parish Administrator. I worked for the Greater Milwaukee Synod for 20 years mostly as the Financial Administrator. I moved to Texas in 2000 due to my husband's promotion with a food distribution company. Upon returning to the Milwaukee area I held positions with two different companies as the Accounting Manager and as Office Manager. I always enjoyed working for the E.L.C.A. Now working for Our Savior's Lutheran Church has brought a wonderful opportunity to be apart of the E.L.C.A. again. I have been married to a wonderful man named Clay Moore for 21 years and we have an 11 year son named Clayton. Please stop by and introduce yourself. I look forward to serving this congregation with my gifts of administration and financial background.

Ron Hoffmann Property Minister ron@oslc-wi.org	During my high school years I enjoyed the sport of ski jumping. Every weekend during the winter months we would travel to ski jumps all over Wisconsin, Illinois and Minnesota. After graduating from high school in 1955 I entered the navy for 4 years. My wife, Lynn and I were married while I was home on leave from the navy in December 1957. I was then sent overseas and didn't get to see my beautiful bride for one year. After the navy I returned home to Oconomowoc and never left again. I took over the small family business of Hoffmann Cleaning Service which I sold after 25 years. The business is still operating under that same name today. I then went to work with the Oconomowoc School district and retired as Manager of Building and Grounds in 2004. I continue to stay in close contact with the district in many ways. I was blessed with the opportunity to assume the role of Property Minister for Our Savior's shortly after retirement. Today Lynn and I enjoy our family of 2 sons and 2 daughters and have been blessed with 8 grandkids, all of whom live no further than 20 miles away. I enjoy playing golf, outdoor gardening, small woodworking projects, daily walks around the lake with Lynn and being available to be "Mr. Fix It" for my kids and grandkids.
