Serve
The Book of James tells us that faith without works is dead (James 2:14-26) and throughout the New Testament, Jesus invites his followers to a new way of living with and loving our neighbor. We believe that through serving we learn to be grateful to God for the gifts God has given us AND our eyes are opened to the needs of our neighbor. Won't you join us in serving? Download the Ministry Opportunities Form and Response Form to learn about the many ways to serve in our congregation, our community, and for the sake of our world.
Our hunger ministries seek to provide food for those who are food insecure through our Little Food Pantry and drive thru food giveaways held regularly in our parking lot.
Our quilters spend the year preparing and assembling quilts which are sent through Lutheran World Relief to sites around the globe. Each quilt brings with it a hug of warmth and love from Lord of Life.

It's hard to see whether you are making a difference sometimes. This is when we trust that God is up to something and has invited us to join the effort. We are called to believe in God's mission to love our neighbor. We are called to believe the we are enough and God can use our hands and hearts to be the good we wish to see in our world.
We strive to serve our homeless neighbor through our partnership with Almost Home Mens' Shelter at St John Lutheran Church. Volunteers always welcome!
