LHUMC is alive and active as the body of Christ.
There are many ways to get involved to grow in faith and expand God’s Kingdom.
Faithful volunteers are involved in a variety of ministries from things as simple as attending Bible studies to providing meals for our neighbors in need.

Not sure how you fit? Identifying and understanding your spiritual gifts is a good way to find where you should connect. God has uniquely created you to be you, and has given you gifts to participate in and support the Body of Christ, the church. This Spiritual Gifts Assessment helps individuals identify their God-given gifts for living faithfully as Christian disciples day by day and find meaningful ways to use their gifts in connection with others through the community of faith. The process helps people understand the nature of spiritual gifts and ways to enhance the effectiveness of their gifts by linking together with others.

As well as creating worship banners for the “main” sanctuary for worship seasons such as World Communion Sunday, Harvest season, Advent, Lent, Pentecost, “ordinary” season and more.

Friends At Home
This ministry is about fellowship, and developing friendships with our friends at home, who are a very important part of our church family. All who are involved in this ministry would agree that we are blessed by meeting and sharing a short visit with our friends. As well, we send thinking of you cards, special holiday cards and provide the Upper Rooms bi-monthly. One of our friends at home comments consistently, how much this visit means to her, and how much it means to have someone outside of her own family call and then visit.
