Join the Lord of Life Book Club at Lord of Life Church on Tuesday, August 27th, at 7 PM for a special evening with Dr. Kim Harms, as she discusses her award-winning book, Are You Ready? How to Build a Legacy to Die For. This thought-provoking book, named Best Inspirational Book of 2024 by the Pacific Book Awards, is designed to help us ensure our loved ones are both financially and emotionally secure after we pass on.

Dr. Harms’ book is divided into three parts: building a positive legacy, exploring the process of death, and offering a practical workbook to prepare our loved ones for life without us. Whether you’ve read the book or not, this event will provide valuable insights into how to create a lasting legacy that goes beyond material wealth.

All are welcome, and Dr. Harms will have copies of her book available for purchase. Don’t miss this opportunity to gain wisdom on how to live—and leave—a legacy to die for.

Special Recognition:
Children who participate in this enlightening class will be honored during our Maundy Thursday service on March 28th at 7 p.m. Each child will receive a beautiful flower, a certificate commemorating their journey, and a cherished Bible. During the service, families will joyfully share communion together, as is our tradition at Lord of Life. For those unable to attend on Maundy Thursday, Bibles and certificates will be lovingly prepared and await them upon their return to our congregation, ensuring they can partake in communion in this newfound way.
