Worship

Applications due April 30

Lord of Life is excited to again offer a $1,500 college scholarship. This non-renewable award has been created by church members who, through gifts and memorials, have endowed a scholarship fund that will award one scholarship each year.

The scholarship will be awarded to a graduating high school senior who is a member of Lord of Life, displays exemplary service to the church and community, who will be attending a technical college or pursuing a four-year college degree on a full-time basis, and provides an essay on their faith journey in the application.

Complete details about the scholarship as well as the application are now available and can be picked up in the church office. Completed applications must be turned in to the church office in person or by email (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) by April 30 for consideration. The scholarship will be awarded during the graduation recognition worship service on Mother’s Day, May 11. Please contact the Lord of Life office if you have any questions.

April 6-11, Sign up to serve! Help is needed!

Lord of Life is a host church for Family Promise of Butler County, which addresses the needs of families who are experiencing homelessness in Butler County by providing shelter, meals, and comprehensive support services. As a host church, we will open our doors and transform our Fellowship Hall into a home for a week, as well as providing meals and hospitality to families enrolled in the program.

This will be a shortened host week, with guests in residence Sunday – Friday morning. All meals, hosting, and overnight stays will take place here at Lord of Life. There are opportunities to serve before, during, and after our host week, interacting with our guests or behind the scenes! You can partner up with friends, your Bible study, or relatives to share the load and the fun of serving!

We are especially in need of Bridge Hosts and Overnight Hosts to help make our guests comfortable! If you are able to help, please sign up at the link above.

Appalachia Service Project Mission Trip

For the past 5 years, we have gathered a group of adults and high school age youth to be God's hands and feet by making homes warmer, safer and drier in Appalachia. With the hurricane devastation, this is needed more than ever.

1st and 3rd Tuesdays, 7 pm
In the Lighthouse Room
Study topic: Honor Others with Love

All women are welcome – feel free to invite your friends, coworkers, or neighbors.

Topics vary but this fall we are digging into "Honor Others with Love" by Workmatters. Discover greater meaning in our daily lives no matter your vocation or stage in life while growing in community. This study is stand alone each meeting, so there is no homework or compounding study.

The WIM group is inspired by Women in the Marketplace, a Christian ministry designed to equip working women to confidently pursue their faith and career for the glory of God. Interested but can't make it on Tuesdays? Women in the Marketplace has a variety of other events and resources.
