LCA Story of the Week
Lutheran Women of Australia President Wendy Habel says that when we give to the Lord’s work – no matter how much or little – God multiplies our gifts. ‘We are all special in God’s sight, not because of our talents but because we are filled with the Spirit, which is how we serve God’s purpose’, she says.

· For young Christians, that they may be strengthened against the temptation of unbelief
· For those preparing for baptism or confirmation at Easter
