November 1-6, 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 is a traditional host week, with all meals, hosting, and overnight stays taking 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.

All Addictions Big Book Step Study Group
7 pm Mondays, in the Library
All are welcome to the All Addictions Big Book Step Study Group. We are a group of men and women dedicated to studying and practicing the 12 steps of recovery as laid out in the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous. Big Book Step Study meetings work by providing clear-cut directions on how to recover from any addiction. The terms all addiction and practicing and studying the steps as they are laid out in the Big Book is what differentiates this from the Sunday night Alanon meeting. Join us.

In 2027, Lord of Life turns 40! In preparation for this momentous anniversary, we want to update our archives. We have old scrapbooks, plenty of pictures, Lifeline newsletters, and social media posts. We need some talented folks to tell the story of how we've been living, sharing, and celebrating God's love for the past 40 years. If you have a flair for scrapbooking, storytelling, or digital media, please contact Maddie in the church office.
