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:
It’s Reconciliation Week in Australia from 27 May to 3 June and, almost 12 months on from the endorsement of the LCA’s Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP), we might ask: ‘Are we there yet?’ Checking our progress, we can see that we have made a start, but there is much more we can do.

Invitation to 2021 Fritzsche Oration:
You are invited to attend this year’s oration.
Topic: Centenary of the UELCA
Speaker: ALC emeritus lecturer, Rev Dr Dean Zweck
When: Tuesday 8 June at 3.30 pm CST.
Where: ALC chapel—and run as a webinar (link to be posted on the ALC website: alc.edu.au)
One hundred years ago in March 1921, the United Evangelical Lutheran Church in Australia was formed by the uniting of 5 Australian Lutheran synods. Hear the story and the factors that led to this milestone event, and its significance for the eventual union of almost all Australian Lutherans as one church body in 1966.
