Seeking volunteers to help with God Space!
Do you have a heart for sharing the message of God's love with young people? We are desperately seeking volunteers to assist in the delivery of the "God Space" (Religious Instruction) program in our local state schools. The weekly lessons come fully-prepared with age appropriate stories, craft/workbook, songs and game suggestions to pick and choose from - it's incredibly well planned out and doesn’t require very much preparation. The program is a multi-denominational delivered by the Minister’s Fraternal under the coordination of Colin Watters. A couple of the regular volunteers are unwell and/or not able to commit at the moment so we have classes every week who are missing out on hearing God’s word. If we can’t fill the spots, we may find the schools will lose interest in participating in the future. If you have ever thought about being part of this service now is the time to think and pray on it!! It is such an incredibly rewarding opportunity to share your faith with younger generations. If you have an hour or two available on a Thursday and are interested in serving your Lord in this way either as a leader or a helper, please talk to Megan James (0419 946 575) to find out more.

LCA Story of the Week
You may have heard the words: ‘If this program has raised any issues for you, please call 1800RESPECT’? This national counselling service supports people going through abuse or who have been abused. Lutherans who work on the helpline say it’s a heavy burden hearing callers’ stories and that they pray for the right words to say.

Prayers for the Week
· For those in authority, such as Queen Elizabeth and her representatives; Prime Minister Scott Morrison and members of parliament; Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk and state parliamentarians; and Mayor Paul McVeigh and local councillors; that they may act wisely.
· For the Church, LCAQD; the bride of Christ, that it may abide in his love
· For the pastors Bishop John Henderson, District Bishop Paul Smith; Pastor Joel Pukallus and all pastor; for the ministry of word and sacrament
· We thank you, holy Father, that, as you had promised, you gave your Holy Spirit to all your people at Pentecost. Pour out your life-giving Spirit on your holy church throughout the world and equip its members with the gifts of your Spirit.
· That you brought light out of darkness and order out of chaos by your Spirit in the creation of the world. Let your Spirit move over our unruly world and heal its broken people.
· Burn out all that is evil in us; consecrate all your people for holy service, and empower them to work with you for the salvation of the world.
· Let your Spirit renew the faith of all those who have been baptised, so that they may devote themselves in public worship to the teaching of the apostles, the giving of gifts to you, the breaking of bread in the Lord's supper, and the prayer of the church for the world.
· Sharpen the consciences of those who hear your word and convince them of its truth, so that they may turn from their sins and receive the gift of forgiveness.
