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.
Volunteer in the garden!
Help us provide fresh produce to local food pantries! The garden team is looking for additional hands to help with harvesting and maintaining the garden. Our harvest season starts late June and runs thru the end of September. Prior to this, we schedule activities as weather permits for garden prep, planting and garden maintenance. But once we start harvesting, we try to pick early morning on Tuesday so we can deliver fresh to the Tuesday pantry.
We do not pick in poor weather, mud, or extreme heat, so we will often move our times to work around Mother Nature, sometimes picking on Monday or on a Friday/Saturday to deliver to the Saturday Pantry. Garden knowledge is not necessary, training is provided, and learn by doing. Enjoy being outside in fellowship with others to work in the garden as physical abilities allow. Communications are through regular emails and texts to keep everyone current with weather impacts. With only 5 active members, we need more hands to help out, especially during seasons of vacations or illness. Please reach out to be added to the communications. Attend as you are able.
Dennis Reynolds,
Stephen Ministers provide one-on-one Christ-centered caring. A few examples of struggles that a Stephen Minister can walk alongside you through are: grief, divorce, illness, job loss, loss of a home, military deployment, loneliness, or spiritual crisis.
If you would like more information about receiving care for yourself or a loved one, please let us know.
If you would like to explore being a care giver, please contact 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.
