Parish Life Ministry
Parish Life Ministry
The Parish Life Ministry is responsible for emotional and spiritual needs of members and visitors, to develop, encourage and maintain active involvement in the life of Living Lord and to ensure that renewal and fellowship opportunities are available for all. The team is also responsible for gathering and keeping the historical record of the church’s events and activities.

Living Lord’s Fellowship team coordinates, organizes, and oversees church-wide fellowship events (potlucks, picnics, etc.) as well as setting-up and providing the weekly coffee and cookie service before and after Sunday Worship services.
Lunch Bunch
Lunch Bunch will start meeting again soon at local restaurants for fun and fellowship. Occasionally they do field trips.
