Lent 2021
Lent is a season of forty days, not counting Sundays, which begins on Ash Wednesday, February 17th and ends on the Saturday before Easter. During Lent, there is a tradition to try to get closer to God by doing three things:
- Giving up something - this is called fasting
- The practice of Almsgiving - which means taking some of what we have and sharing with those in need.
- Spending more time praying.

Discovering the Love and Security That Only Jesus Offers
Jesus is a refuge in times of trouble. When the storms of life are brewing, trust in the Lord of Life to see you through. At Lord of Life, we want to introduce you to our friend and savior, Jesus Christ. As a church, we place extreme value on community and are dedicated to fostering relationships with God and understanding God's Word. While we are devout followers, we do believe it is necessary to ask questions and explore the teachings of Jesus and the Bible further. It's as much about asking why, as it is about asking how. Lord of Life is a member of the Southeast Michigan Synod branch of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Lord of Life was established on May 21, 1972.
