Prayer and Care
The prayer and care group at LHS exists to ensure that through all of life’s events, all of the students and faculty are reminded of Jesus’ deep love for them and that they are a valued member of the cougar family. We take time to pray over students and faculty as well as provide tangible means of care (homemade items, gratitude grams, cards, post-its, etc) for those with various life hurdles at LHS. The group meets monthly at flex time. Students are invited to attend whenever they are available to be a part of this group!

The club equips and mobilizes students through monthly meetings, social/outreach events, conferences, prayer vigils, speakers and the annual March for Life in Washington, D.C. The club meets twice a month during Prime Time.
