Perhaps the greatest way in which Lord of Life can provide hope for each person is through Prayer opportunities and activities. Our congregation is a "praying Church" trusting and believing in the power of the Lord to alleviate the stress and pain in mind, body or soul. This is shared and experienced for participants in a wide variety of ways.

Lord of Life maintains a Prayer list with those who are chronically ill always remembered and those with temporary setbacks added and subtracted from the list as needs unfold. This list is prayed publicly at all worship services and then sent home with worshipers so they may continue to pray and add their support to those in need throughout the week. Call us or e-mail us with your specific prayer needs and we'll add yours to our heartfelt list.
