2012 Offers Promise
As we begin a new calendar year let’s start off STRONG. Here’s a checklist for you as you begin your 2012 journey:
_____Go back to church. (Our service is at 11:00am every Sunday)
_____Learn God’s Word. (Bible classes for all ages are at 9:30am Sundays). We will be
starting new classes on January 8.
_____Get help with my grief. Holidays can be TOUGH for those who have lost loved
ones. The good news is you made it through. The best news is there is help.
Lord of Life will offer several GriefShare courses this year. One is starting
in January. Call 918-369-5558 for more information.
_____Talk to someone about my divorce. Lord of Life will be offering several
DivorceCare courses throughout the year. One starts in January. Call
918-369-5558 for more information.
_____Get my children involved in youth ministry. Our youth group meets every Tuesday
night at 7:00pm. We have an older and a younger group. Go to The
Unrestricted Youth Facebook page for more information.
_____Find an opportunity to give back, pay it forward, and serve others. Lord of
Life offers several opportunities.

Fall. We drive to the children and their families, sing, play games,
share a message, pray and give out a sack of groceries. Go to His Love

Future
The future indeed looks bright for Lord of Life. Your prayers are working! We asked God for His plan for us and He provided it.
Last year we added 18 new people to our church. 27 adults signed the new constitution as we chartered our church with the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod. in 2010 we started a youth group with over 10 teens attending.
We also partnered with His Love 4 Kidz in reaching two different neighborhoods where we reached 103 children and their parents. We provided them God's Word for their souls as well as food for their bodies.
Our coffeehouse brought us 5 new members. These people just came in for a cup of coffee and left with the gospel. They are now entering responsible church membership.
We now are experiencing growing pains as we overload our building. The worship area is becoming less of a sacred space as it must accommodate many other uses. Plus it is now too small.
God also has a plan for this situation. He has made available a larger and more useful space for us to rent. And our move dovetails with the end of our current lease. Although we will have an additional 1000 square feet of usable space the new rent is almost the same as the old rent. PRAISE GOD! We plan to provide a more dedicated sanctuary like worship space in the new building.
Now more than ever we need your constant prayers. People will begin to notice the growth and new building. Pray that we can love them into our fellowship like Jesus would. Pray that we can meet their needs and not let them fall through the cracks because of our neglect.
As we transition from one facility to the next will have additional expenses plus the expense of the move. These will need to be addressed.
We hope to begin this year's Lenten worship in our new sanctuary. Maybe you can join us.
Watch and see what God will do!

We are out of room. Time to move!
It looks like God is blessing us again.
He continues to send us new people who are excited about the church and eager to work. It seems that we have new families visit every week. Many of them return again and again. Our church recently chartered and adopted their constitution.
It's time to move to a larger spot. Come and help us move. We plan to have packing parties throughout February and move into the new place in the first part of March.
