You’ve Got a Story to Tell!
And Lord of Life wants to help you tell it.
The Stewardship Team is collecting stories. Our goal is to share this collection of stories with our community to help us connect, learn from one another, and grow in our faith.
The process is simple: Click this link and answer the 6 questions provided. Be as detailed as you choose. Don’t worry about having the perfect words or all your commas in the right place. Just put your story down on paper and the Stewardship Team will take care of the rest.
We can’t wait to hear from you!

The following NEW (not used) items are needed:
- Underwear (boys and girls, all sizes, from kids 6x to adult plus sizes)
- Socks (all sizes)
- Feminine hygiene products
- Deodorant, Body Wash (no bar soap), Travel-size toothpaste and shampoo
