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. 

PRAYER CHAIN

The Evangelism & Social Ministry Committee keeps people and families in need of our prayers by putting them on the prayer chain and listing them in the bulletin.  As you have prayer concerns, forward any names you would like put on the prayer chain and in the bulletin by calling the church office at 393-0700.

$8.50
Coffee is always available for purchase on the ushers table in the church entrance.

Coffee is the most widely traded commodity in the world yet most coffee growers live below poverty levels because the middleman gives them next to nothing for their crops.  That's why Lutheran World Relief has set up cooperatives with the coffee growers around the world to help them earn more money for themselves and their communities.  Please consider purchasing your coffee here at church and you will feel better knowing you are doing your part helping people live better lives.
