Prayer Shawl Ministry
 Prayer Shawls Available Prayer shawls are an amazing gift, made and crafted by those with faith and giving hearts, creativity and talent! More Prayer Shawls and Pocket Prayer Shawls have been completed and dedicated. Do you know someone who would be blessed to be wrapped in prayer, to know you and others are praying for them; do you know others are praying for you? These prayer shawls and pocket prayer shawls are available to you, for you personally, or for you to give to another. Most of those crafting prayer shawls continue to do so at home. This ministry is open to anyone interested. To share your interest, or to request a prayer shawl, contact Crystal Hendrix or Julie Blomster for more information. |

Faith Quest Sunday School
Classes on pause as indoor worship begins
Special events and information to come soon!
Though indoor worship has begun again, our Faith Quest classes will continue to stay on pause for the immediate future. Sunday worship will only be 30 minutes in length. We are exploring safety protocols as we consider a variety of opportunities and programs to keep God's children connected and engaged and nurtured and supported.
Please note: Lord of Life is committed to children having the opportunity to be part of a Children's Christmas Program experience, and while that experience will likely look differently this year, it will still involve children being offered parts in the program, wearing costumes, singing songs, and more. Watch for ways to support and join our efforts! More details coming soon!

Council Update 
Pandemic Response Team
Join Us for Worship
This Sunday, October 11, 9:30 a.m.
A Blessed Sign of Love!
Thanks be to God!
Small groups meeting inside begins soon!
Pandemic Response Team Meeting Weekly:
Team Members: Several weeks ago, the Church Council appointed Bruce Duden, team facilitator; Julie Blomster, team secretary; Bob Blomster, Mike Claywell, Ted Dau, Amy Ehrlichmann, and Cindy Rustan, to serve as our Pandemic Response Team. The team has quite timely, effectively, and efficiently, identified initial steps, issues, questions, concerns, strategies to meet our needs to begin reopening our facility.
Space is limited inside. Meeting dates are limited. More details provided. Though our plans include providing as much meeting space inside as possible, as quickly as possible, there are precautions and practices being evaluated. Scheduling is critical. There will be limited space. All individuals and groups will need to be scheduled on the calendar in advance, even if that involves just stopping in. Details will be provided for those who wish to use a room, including how to clean the room following your event.
Thank you to those who volunteer, support our wish list, and share their generosity of time and gifts!
The Church Council and the Pandemic Response Team continue to gather and to process information and updates from the synod office in addition to the latest from the CDC, and the government on every level.
As we all know, this information, and many of the recommendations continue to change and to be updated frequently. If our recommendations or any of these initial steps need to change, we will update you.
To learn more, or if you have any questions, please email any or all of us, and we will forward your email to our Pandemic Response Team and ministry teams.
Thanks be to God for one and all, as together we make God and our neighbors first!

Each week our prayers go out to our beloved brothers and sisters in so many places. Thank you to one and all who daily lift up in prayer one another, who daily call on the power of The Almighty, and the comforting presence of the One who is Present!
May our prayers surround one and all who are in the midst of grief, longing for strength and hope, facing all that is still unknown. If you personally know people who have been impacted by recent events, or if you or someone you know is in need of prayer, let Pastor Jamie know.
