Centering Prayer |
On the 2nd
and 4th Wednesday of every month, from 12 noon-1:00 pm, a
group of people meet in the LOL Sanctuary to explore how God moves
through prayer. Tom Koop, who facilitates the time, said something like:
“I could’ve stayed at work banging my head against the wall as deadlines
approach or I could take time to center in God for the lunch hour. I am
always refreshed by God’s presence when I choose to do the latter.” This
hour of prayer is not for those who have prayer all figured out and who
know what to say, but for those who want to learn, grow, stretch and
discover God at work in surprising ways. A portion of the time is spent
caring for one another, reading psalms, in silence, praying for others
and talking about what works for us in prayer. |

BLAIHN
(Brainerd Lakes Area
Interfaith Hospitality Network) |
A group of 13
lakes area churches to provide housing temporarily for homeless families
with children with the assistance of other support churches. Each
congregation takes one week every six months in which they house and
provide meals (breakfast, bag lunch and warm supper) for the homeless
families in our area. IHN is a national organization started by a
compassionate mom and her son on the east coast. Lord of Life is the
partner church to host church, Lutheran Church of the Cross, Nisswa. We
will need volunteers from our congregation to help LCC provide, serve
and share meals each week they are a host. The organization has a house
available for the Day Center located at 714 6th St., centrally located
in downtown Brainerd, close to schools and YMCA. The Day Center helps
families locate jobs, housing and shelter during the day. This house is
owned by the Brainerd School District and has been used by them for
extra office space up to a year ago. The BLAIHN does not need to
purchase it nor will they have to pay rent. Their costs will be
utilities and phone service. It needs some renovation work to make it
functional for the needs of the organization and handicap compliant.
They will be looking for volunteers with builder/carpentry skills as
well electrical and plumbing skills, or just generally very handy in
these areas. Also, if anyone has any connection to businesses such as
Home Depot, Menards or Fleet Farm, where the Brainerd Lakes Area IHN
might be able to get a discount or donations of materials, it would be
most helpful. As needs arise and dates for the need of volunteers, LOL
congregation will be notified. With God’s help, and the support of the
committed congregations, the BLAIHN is looking to be up and running no
later than May and hopefully by April. To volunteer e-mail Sandy
Bergstrom at bergstrom@charter.net or call 828-7740. |

of the shawl, pray for the recipient, and build relationships with one
another. Knitting and/or crocheting lessons will be available for
