MISSION OF THE MONTH

Picture
For the month of December, wee are asking everyone to help support Meals On Wheels by taking an envelope off the Gingerbread Tree in the church entrance.  Each envelope has an amount on it for a donation.  Keep in mind that you can go in together with other families to make a donation too.

"Personal Care Kits" Ministry

Please remember to donate the following items for this ongoing ministry sponsored by Lutheran World Relief
  • Lightweight Dark colored bath towel
  • 2 Bars soap (3.5 to 4 oz bar)
  • Toothbrush (in original packaging)
  • A **Sturdy Comb (flimsy ones can't be used)
  • Nail clipper
All these items are rolled up in the towel and sent to a Lutheran World Relief warehouse to then be delivered to people who are survivors of disasters all over the world.  Please help keep this ministry going.  Thank You!

UPDATE: We just sent off another box of 14 kits.  Thank you to everyone who keeps this ministry going!
We have a good supply of toothbrushes and combs, but need soap and nail clippers and towels.  Thanks!

PRAYER SHAWL MINISTRY

Picture
A prayer shawl is a simple shawl created with love and prayer to be given to someone in need.  Our hope is anyone who is in need of prayer, hope and comfort may have a shawl and will know that people of Lord of Life Lutheran Church are praying for them.  When a shawl has been finished it will be brought to the Church, taken to the altar and blessed.  When a shawl is given out it will have a brief prayer attached to it.  YOU CAN BE A PART OF THIS MINISTRY!  Donations of yarn can be made, it takes 3 skeins of yarn to make one shawl.  You can use your talent at crocheting or knitting - simple patterns are available at the church.  We have volunteers who are willing to share their talents if you want to learn to crochet or knit, call 393-0700 for more information. 

Operation Christmas Child

Every year we support this Outreach mission to provide shoe boxes filled with toys and other fun items for children in need around the world.  Each box is an opportunity for the gospel to transform the life of a child, a family, and a community.  Everything you need to pack a box is provided for you on the display table in the church entrance.  Please return your boxes by Sunday, November 24th.
