"Yet even now, says the Lord, return to me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning; rend your hearts and not your clothing. Return to the Lord, your God, for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love, and relents from punishing."

Joel 2:12-13 (NRSV)

Coffee Hour Fellowship

Every Sunday

Join us for Coffee Hour every Sunday following the 9:30 AM service. Be with us in Fellowship Hall to socialize, catch up with church friends, enjoy some treats, and, of course, sip our "heavenly" coffee!

(Please note that there will be no Coffee Hour on Easter Sunday.)

Coffee Hour

Teams Forming

For 2024, we are looking to increase the number of Coffee Hour Team Hosts as well as increasing the number of members of existing teams. The primary job of the team is to bring treats (cookies, cakes, etc.) that will be served during Coffee Hour. You will not need to set up the room or make the coffee. Remaining after Coffee Hour to help clean up is welcomed but not required. If you would like to join this ministry, please contact Carolyn Cuviello. A link to her email is below.

St. Patrick's Day

Celebration Coffee Hour

Sunday, March 17th

Following The Church Service

This year, St. Patrick's day will fall on a Sunday, and members of our PEP group will be providing some special treats at our regular coffee hour. All are invited to attend following the church service. Remember to wear green!

(PEP members, let us know what treat you are bringing. Please sign up on the sheet posted to the Narthex bulletin board.)

From The Pastor's Desk:

Dear Friends,

In this season of Lent we have explored how we might find Hope for the Lenten journey, and how we might find Seeds of Joy to sustain us in the future. As our LifeLines reaches you, please know that much of Lent yet lies ahead of us. There are still many opportunities to join in times of growing in faith, and the joy of fellowship with others. We will continue our study called, “Surprised By Hope,” on Wednesday mornings at 10:00 AM at the church, and Thursdays at 7:00 PM on Zoom (Let me know if you need the info to join remotely!). Each session stands alone, and you can join any one of them or all. Wednesdays at 5:30 PM we have a soup supper and dessert followed by a short devotional worship time at church.

I particularly want to invite you to Holy Week, those weekdays we commemorate and remember the final days of Jesus’ life before the Resurrection of Easter morning. Wednesday, March 27^th, we will hold a Healing Service at 7:00 PM to offer God’s presence in whatever brokenness is in our lives. The following day we will have our Maundy Thursday service, on March 28th at 7:00 PM, as we remember Jesus’ command to “Do this” and to “Serve one another.” On Good Friday, March 29^th, we offer worship at noon, a Children’s Service at 3:00 PM, and Worship at 7:00 PM, as we follow Jesus to the cross. Easter Vigil is on Saturday evening, March 30^th, at 5:00 PM.

All these are opportunities to follow Jesus more closely, grow deeper in faith, and be part of your church family. I look forward to being with you in the days and weeks ahead, and into the brightness of Easter! Blessings to you!

Bible Study During Lent

Two Sessions Available:

Wednesday Mornings,

At 10:00 AM, In Person At Church

And

Thursday Evenings,

At 7:00 PM, On Zoom

Our Lenten Study is Surprised by Hope by N. T. Wright. Pastor Barry will lead the study Wednesday mornings at the church at 10:00 AM and Thursday evenings at 7:00 PM on Zoom. The program will run through March 21st. Here is a description:

Many Christians believe that our future in heaven is all that really matters. But that's not what the Bible teaches. Premier Bible scholar N. T. Wright takes you inside the Scriptures to grasp the full, breathtaking hope Jesus offers the world, and its implications for how we live our lives today as believers.

In these faith-inspiring sessions, premier biblical scholar N. T. Wright opens your eyes to the amazing full scope of what God's Word has to say about the world to come and the world that is.

Filled with discussion questions, thoughts for reflection, and ideas for personal application, this study guide will help you get the most out of each session.

The 13th Tale

By Diane Setterfield

The Thirteenth Tale is a gothic novel by Diane Setterfield published in 2006. In this story, bookseller and biographer

Margaret Lea is summoned by reclusive, famous, and terminally ill author, Vida Winter, to record the true tale of her life.

The Thirteenth Tale is a love letter to reading, a return to

that rich vein of storytelling that our parents loved and that

we loved as children. Diane Setterfield will keep you

guessing, make you wonder, move you to tears and

laughter, and, in the end, deposit you breathless, yet

satisfied, back upon the shore of your everyday life.

(Sandwiches For The Christian Caring Center)

Helping Hands is a monthly ministry to make sandwiches for the homeless served by Christian Caring Center. It meets the last Wednesday of each month.

Jobs are easy – putting meat and cheese on a roll, placing sandwiches in a baggie, counting the sandwiches, and putting them in a grocery bag. Everyone gets a small, easy task and a lot gets done quickly while we share some time together. We keep everyone safe by wearing gloves and masks, spacing ourselves, and venting the room. All are invited to join us! If you have any questions, please contact Sue Dreisbach. A link to her email is below.

Update From Haiti

A Message From Penny Miller 

Daily life in Haiti remains dangerous, violent, and often deadly. Gangs continue to infiltrate the island’s businesses, government agencies, and the police force. Going to the market daily for food is not a simple task. All prices are

inflated, and gasoline is $35.00 a gallon if you can get it. The students attending the sewing academy are faced with the same dilemma. Their classes are so important to them, and they make every effort to attend. However, they must stay home when the danger level is too high. 

I continue to stay in touch with Libertin, the school administrator. He reports that when the students come to class, they are happy and do well. We still have 12 students who attend every week. He has reported to me that the students need sewing notions: items like needles, thimbles, seam rippers, small scissors, thread, etc. If you would like to help provide these items, please bring them to the church. Place your donation in a bag with my name on it, bring it to the church kitchen, and deposit it into the box labeled "Penny Miller - Haiti Sewing Notions." We will be shipping things to Haiti soon. 

The people of Haiti are warm and loving. They want to live in peace and provide for their families. Please keep them in your prayers. 

Yours in Christ, 

Penny Miller

MORE Athletic Shoe Collection

MORE stands for Modular Organic Regenerative Environments. The group is 100% funded by recycling athletic shoes, keeping them out of landfills. Donated shoes are sold to participating vendors in developing countries. Proceeds regenerate forests and jump start small farming co-ops in needy regions. This creates retail jobs while stimulating free enterprise. MORE provides basic supplies, tools, seeds (fruit-bearing mango, papaya, avocado and income producing mahogany), and agroforestry training to poor farming families, school children and rural villages.

You can contribute your used sneakers or athletic shoes by placing them in the collection box located in the church entryway. Please sneaker-type used footwear only, no dress or other shoes.

Church Financial Records Audit

Volunteers Needed!

There is a requirement that the financial records of Lord of Life be audited on an annual basis. Church building closures and isolation during Covid disrupted our normal process to do this, and now we are ready to begin again. Church members can be involved in much of the work that is needed to be done. You do not need any experience in accounting for a good deal of what is needed to be done. The time consuming part is matching cancelled checks to receipts that generated the check to be written. Any church member would be able to do this. (Even our Tellers are eligible to do this part.)

We are hoping to begin the audit during the month of March 2024 and are planning to have sessions on either Tuesdays or Thursdays. Session times would be either at 3:00 PM or at 6:30 PM. We will need several sessions and volunteers do not have to participate at all of them. Even being at one session would be a great help.

If you would be able to help with the audit, please contact Ed Hourihan. Let him know what day and time works best for you. A link to his email is below.

LifeLines Ending Song:

The second Communion hymn on Ash Wednesday evening was #592, Just As I Am, Without One Plea. Unfortunately, Communion concluded before we had a chance to sing it. The rendition of this hymn which is cherished by the Lutheran Church was recorded by a quintet of male voices in India. It includes the traditional text and tune along with some added sections. Enjoy!
