Connecting People With Jesus and Each Other
Join us on Thu, Dec 25—Christmas Day—at 10am as we celebrate the birth of Jesus and worship Him, our Savior and King, as the shepherds did on that first Christmas so long ago. Communion will be shared at this holiday service. Childcare is available. Questions? Please contact the church office at (630) 513-5325 or lol@lolchurch.net.
It’s time to celebrate 25 years of ministry at Lord of Life! Join me this Sunday, Nov 2 for worship at either 8:30 or 10am as we reflect back and look forward to the next 25 years and beyond. A celebration brunch will be served beginning at 9am and special memorabilia will be on display. Plus it’s All Saint’s Day and we will remember the faithful departed with a special slideshow during worship. See you Sunday!
Spring Into Praise! On Sunday, May 2 at 5:00 PM the Children’s Praise Teams will present a spring concert featuring praise and worship music from throughout the year. A potluck dinner will follow. Please join us for this night of worship, music and fun!
Join us for worship on Easter Sunday, April 4, at 8:30am or 10am to celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Pastor Phil will share a message on the importance of the resurrection. If Jesus is has not risen, our faith is in vain (see 1 Corinthians 15:14). We might as well turn off the lights and go home. But, the resurrection makes all the difference in the world. It changed everything for the disciples and women who visited the tomb on the first Easter Sunday. It can make all the difference for you too! Jesus is alive and because Jesus is alive, you too can live a new life. So, come experience this life transforming story and sing the praises of the Savior on this most holy day with all the people of God around the world.
Lord of Life will soon be observing Holy Week which begins on Palm Sunday. On Palm Sunday we remember Jesus’ triumphal entry into the city of Jerusalem to begin the week of his Passion. The story of the triumphal entry is recorded in Luke 19:29-38. It is a day filled with joy. Worshippers take palm branches and wave them in honor of our king just as the people of Jerusalem did so many years ago. Palm Sunday worship is at 8:30 and 10am on March 28.
On the evening of Palm Sunday at 5pm, Lord of Life will be hosting a Seder Dinner. The Seder was the same meal Jesus observed on the night he was betrayed. We might normally do this on Maundy Thursday, but for time consideration, it is more conveniently observed by families on a Sunday night.
Maundy Thursday is a strange name. Maundy comes from the same word we get the word mandate. The name references Jesus words on this night when he said, “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.” (John 13:34) On this night we recall the events in the Upper Room when Jesus had his ‘last supper’ with his disciples and instituted the Lord’s Supper. Maundy Thursday worship is at 7pm on April 1.
Good Friday is a service filled with darkness and sorrow. We recognize that Jesus died for our sins. Yet, we also call this day “good” because we know he died to win the forgiveness of our sins. We also call it “good” because we know that Friday is not the end of the story. Sunday is coming! We leave this worship in silence and sorrow. Yet, we leave in anticipation our Savior lives and reigns. Good Friday worship is at 7pm on April 2.
