LCA Story of the Week:
Through LCA International Mission, the community of Good Shepherd Lutheran College at Howard Springs, Northern Territory, has formed a strong partnership with Bethany Home in Malaysia. Teacher Anita Synnott says visitors to this training centre for young people with disabilities leave ‘as different people’, having ‘never seen so much of God's love in action’.

Eva’s Place:
You are invited to Eva’s Place annual fundraiser – ‘Sunset Soiree’ on Saturday 13 November at Jubri’s Hideaway. Bookings close on 3 November. More info on noticeboard.
Operation Christmas Child:
The mission of Operation Christmas Child is to demonstrate God’s love in a tangible way to needy children around the world and together with the local church worldwide to share the Good News of Jesus Christ.
It begins with a shoe box filled with gifts and can lead to gospel opportunities, discipleship opportunities, schools, water projects, health projects and the planting of new churches.
So thank you to the people who have packed boxes and also the people who have bought or made individual items for the boxes.
Another way in which you can still support Operation Christmas Child is by donating $10 to the cost of the transportation of the boxes.
Many people who pack boxes don’t include this cost so it is a great opportunity to contribute, particularly if you haven’t packed a box.
Please put your donation in an envelope marked “Christmas Boxes” and place it in the offering bag or loose cash can be placed in the donation box. Both the bag and box are on the table in the Narthex and donations can be given over the next few Sundays.
Happy Birthday this week to:
Dulcie von Pein (Mon); Murray Paschke (Mon); Joel Johnson (Fri); David Schreiber (Fri);
Baptism Anniversaries:
If we missed your birthday or baptism anniversary, please contact Gayle at St Mark's church office.
