Lord of Life Lutheran Church is the church with a really big heart! Our mission is to worship God, grow in faith, and reach out to others with the love of Jesus Christ. We are a growing church where you can get to know others easily. We want to get to know you and invite you to become involved in our church family! People of all ages, from all parts of the country, living in many areas of Harford County have made Lord of Life their church home. We are located across from Edgewood High School, just outside the gate of the Edgewood Area of Aberdeen Proving Ground. Military families are especially welcome at Lord of Life. Please come and be our guest on Sunday Mornings:

Shrimp & Game Night - January 28, 5:00 p.m.
It’s that time of year again! This annual event is a wonderful time of crazy games and great food. It is a chance to get to know one another in a night wholly devoted to fun! There are, of course, the “normal” games - card games, rummy cubed, scrabble, etc. But, the game of the night is Skittle Ball! And it’s Men vs. Women. As you can see, below there is a lovely shot of Jan at the reigns, with the cheering of Rita and Judy, and I’m not sure if Art is encouraging or not! But, whoever wins, it’s bound to be a fun times for all. Meanwhile, Randy cleans the board again! We’ll just have to see what happens this year. Come join the fun!
The meeting everyone looks forward to every year! The Annual Congregational Meeting! This year, it is on Sunday, January 29th at 9:10am. Primarily, it is an opportunity to review the last year through the reports of the various committees and through open forum discussion. We also get to elect 2 (or three) people to represent Lord of Life at the Synod Assembly. In the next few months, as we work our way through the Gospel of Mark on Sundays we’ll hear he words, “Come and See” often. This is a chance to come and see, to come and hear, and to come and share. See you there!
Starting in February, Harford Conference churches will be hosting Theology on Tap around Harford County. We will gather to discuss important issues of our day, learn from the lessons of history, and work through the theological implications. It is an opportunity for honest discussion and diving theologically deeper into current issues. Here’s the tentative schedule:
| February 1st, 8:30pm | Aberdeen Green Turtle led by Pastor Lisa Watson-Hill |
| February 8th, 8:30pm | My Three Sons in Edgewood led by Pastor Christine Parker |
| February 15th, 8:30pm | Coakley's Pub in Havre de Grace led by Pastor Mark Crispell |
| February 29th, 8:30pm | Du Claw in Bel Air led by Pastor John Burk/ Vicar Chas Wiener |
All our welcome. Some locations allow for alcoholic beverages, which people are welcome to consume. And yet, even where that is not available, we’ll have plenty of theology on tap, both from seminary-trained leaders and equally, if not more importantly, from participants.
We can celebrate the fact that there are a number of people interested in joining the Lord of Life family. And so, we will have New Member classes in late January and early February: January 29th after 10:30 worship, and February 5th & 12th between services. All classes will be open to anyone who would like to participate - no deep theological wisdom necessary. Here’s a breakdown of the classes:
| January 29th | Lutheran Theology 101 |
| February 5th | The “big C” Church |
| February 12th | Ministries of Lord of Life |
We will then receive new members on the Transfiguration Sunday, which is February 19th. All are welcome of course, but if you know you plan to participate, please let Pastor Christine know. And we ask your prayers for all those considering joining this small part of the body of Christ called Lord of life Lutheran Church.
