What started in 2015 as a simple but unique idea – using the LCA Churchwide Office car park on Ward Street in North Adelaide to raise funds during AFL games – grew into a decade-long faith outreach that welcomed thousands of footy fans and raised nearly $90,000 for our Lutheran Church ministries.

Each year, the LCANZ facilitates a Season of Prayer, inviting and calling on congregations to pray. This year, the Season of Prayer is scheduled for 5 to 19 October, and, as in previous years, the theme is ‘Lord, renew your church’. Here are some suggestions for celebrating the Season of Prayer.

Do not consider yourself to be superior to those other branches. If you do, consider this: you do not support the root, but the root supports you (Romans 11:18).
