TRANSCRIPT
Welcome! Our mission at Lord of Life is to live, share and celebrate with all people God’s love in Jesus Christ. At Lord of Life we allow individuals the opportunity to experience worship in 3 different settings. At our 8:00am Traditional Service, you will experience the richness of Lutheran Liturgy and Hymns. At our 9:30am Praise Service, contemporary music dominates and leads the fluidetic rhythm of the service. At our 11:00am Contemporary Service you will experience a blend of Lutheran liturgy accompanied by contemporary and traditional music.
We invite everyone to receive the sacrament of Holy Communion. Holy Communion is offered at all three services. At all services, the communion tray is filled with wine (outer two rings), grape juice (inner circle) and water (center ring). The ushers will direct you during communion distribution.

Donate to LOLCP’s Pauline Dann Science Enrichment Center Last Day to Donate – This Friday Nov 18th!
After a long and courageous battle with cancer, Miss Pauline passed away at the end of August. While we will miss her in our classroom every day, we are glad that she is now in a better place and is no longer suffering. In order to remember Miss Pauline and everything she meant to the preschool, the Preschool Board is creating the "Pauline Dann Sci-ence Enrichment Center" which will be used by all classes at Lord of Life Christian Preschool. Science was Miss Pauline's favorite subject and creating an interactive center filled with preschool science experi-ments will help ensure that each child at the preschool is exposed to the wonders of science.
If you are interested in making a donation to purchase the Science Enrichment Center, please make out a check payable to LOLCP (please write "Miss Pauline" in the memo section) and place it in the preschool drop box or the church office.
