UPDATE ON LORD OF LIFE'S HEALTH PROTOCOLS:
In response to the recent directive from Governor Abbott, Lord of Life wants to keep you informed as to our current policies and procedures.
The Re-Opening Team (comprised of members of Property, Council, and Staff) have been and continue to monitor vaccination rates, hospitalizations, and other critical data points for the health and safety of our community.
At this time, we are continuing with all procedures that are currently in place. Masks will be required at all times when in the building. Social distancing is required in the sanctuary and other spaces. Temperatures will be checked and a sign in sheet will be used for potential contact tracing at all events.
The Governors recent order (EO GA-34) grants authority to private businesses and institutions to require face coverings or other hygiene practices as they see fit. As the Body of Christ gathered at Lord of Life we take these actions out of love for our neighbor and a desire to continue the trend of lowering cases of the COVID virus in our region.
If you have additional questions or concerns you may contact the pastors, council president (Joe Cox), or the church office.

March 8 is International Women’s Day (IWD). This day is to celebrate the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women.
The Hands of Faith Fair Trade Store is celebrating this important day by inviting women and girls to stop in the store March 6, 7, 10 or 13 to view the many women-made handicrafts we have and to register for a drawing for a $25 gift certificate. No purchase is required. The drawing will be at 2 pm on March 13. IWD is all about choices for women and girls. One winner of the gift card will get to choose gifts from HOF for herself or her friends. All of us get to make choices about equality and supporting Fair Trade artisans.
