As Christians we are called to pray! Prayer is a personal way in which we communicate with God. We pray for the world, the church, our pastor and others. St Paul encourages us, “In everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God” (Philippians 4:6). If you are interested in joining a prayer ministry team, please let Liz know. It is proposed to notify team members of prayer requests to pray on a regular basis at home, without the need to come out to a meeting. If you have any requests for prayer, which will be kept confidential, please speak to Liz or contact her via e-mail.
The Church bookshop has greeting cards, wrapping paper and books starting from 50c.
The LCA is launching a website next week called 50.500.faith.freedom.future to mark 50 years of Lutheran church union in Australia in 2016 and the 500th anniversary of the Reformation in 2017. We are encouraged to give thanks to God for his past blessings to us and previous generations and to look forward to how he will bless us in the future.
