LCA Story of the Week:
It’s a long way from a Queensland classroom to war-torn Ukraine. And there’s a lot of difference between a cosy bed and sleeping on the floor. Yet 9-year-old Chloe, inspired by a project about God’s love and sacrifice, is doing exactly that.

Delicious and Delightful:
As a part of our continuing support for our wider community, our church would like to participate in our annual ‘Delicious and Delightful’ festival to be held on Saturday 27 August. After consulting with the ‘Delicious and Delightful’ committee, it is thought that we could run the children’s activity tent. As we haven’t had our usual Holiday Fun Time, we are hoping we could put our talents and resources into this event. We are looking for volunteers to:
· organize activities for in the tent
· supervise activities on the day
· sell tickets for jumping castle
The activities for the children will be craft related. The tent will be running from 12 midday through to approximately 6pm. We will have a rooster set up so even if you have one hour to spare, it will be greatly appreciated. Or maybe help prior to the event by organizing craft activities. It is thought that we could either wear our blue St Mark’s shirts or our HFT blue shirts (with something underneath them for winter!) We also need a few people to help coordinate this. Anyone interested in helping, please see Lois Strand or Cameron Brauer.

When: 30/07/22 – 20/08/22 (4 consecutive Saturdays)
There is a cost involved and interest in this can be directed to Barry Weier for more information.

Prayers for the Week:
· For those in authority, such as Queen Elizabeth and her representatives; Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and members of parliament; Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk and state parliamentarians; and Mayor Paul McVeigh and local councillors; for the nations of the world, that they may receive the blessing of peace
· For the Church, LCAQD; and the body of Christ;
· For the pastors Bishop Paul smith, District Bishop Mark Vainikka; Pastor Joel Pukallus and all pastors; that they may preach the word of God
· For those who are estranged and hostile towards Christ and his church, that they may be reconciled to God
· For God's servants who have been commissioned to make God's word known to the world
· For students in Christian schools, Sunday schools, Bible study programs, and seminaries, that they may yearn to sit at Jesus' feet and learn from his word
· For those who are distracted by the worries of this life from the things of God
· For protection against the harmful effects of the mass media and advertising
