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 10. Please contact the Lord of Life office if you have any questions.

Volunteer in the garden!

Help us provide fresh produce to local food pantries. 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. We work in the garden primarily on Tuesday mornings especially once produce is ready to pick to align with the pantry hours. However, as weather impacts our plans, we schedule other days and times to keep up with activities. Communications are through regular emails and texts to keep everyone current with weather impacts. Please reach out to be added to the communications. We avoid working in the heat, cold, rain, or mud. Attend as you are able.
