If you are a congregational leader or if you are involved with children and youth ministries or programs, put the afternoon of Saturday 26 March 2022 in your diary now!

We’re a big step closer to continuing to see the ALWS and Australian Aid logos side by side on supplies for developing countries. Once again, our church’s aid organisation has passed the rigorous and ‘exhausting’ process to gain DFAT’s recommendation for full accreditation – an outstanding effort!

The LCANZ’s Care Ministries (incorporating the Ageing) is not a new department of the church but an expansion of the former Ministry with the Ageing. Care Ministries will continue to support ministry with and alongside the ageing and now will also advocate for other ministries.

Late last year Lutheran Archives was faced with the prospect of having no employees for 2022, due to staff leaving to follow new opportunities and director Rachel Kuchel set to go on maternity leave. However, God had the situation in hand, and three exceptionally talented archivists have now joined.

Long-time Lutheran Archives volunteer researcher Dr Lois Zweck is among LCANZ members honoured in the Australia Day 2022 Honours list.
