fundraising

More than 1,300 LCANZ members and friends have stepped out on the footpaths, roads and tracks around Australia in this year’s ALWS Walk My Way events held to support children impacted by war and poverty. To date, approximately $190,000 has been raised to support more than 7,500 children.

If you’ll be in Adelaide this coming Saturday, join hundreds of other members of our Lutheran family and friends taking part in the ALWS 75th Anniversary Thanksgiving Festival in the grounds of Australian Lutheran College.

In 2025, our church will celebrate 75 years of service through Australian Lutheran World Service with a series of Walk My Way events across Australia.

Viewers of ABC TV’s Gardening Australia program on 23 February met dedicated and talented gardener and retired Lutheran school principal Paul Sabel, who has turned a beloved pastime into a way of helping others through Australian Lutheran World Service (ALWS).

When Australian Lutheran World Service (ALWS) Board members and staff met in Albury, New South Wales, recently to mark 75 years since the Lutheran Church’s ministry to refugees in Australia began, there was no grand party to celebrate the milestone. Instead, they shared bowls of porridge.

Members of the LCANZ are continuing to rally in support of flood-hit communities in Central New South Wales, with more than $30,000 so far donated to the relief effort via the church’s Disaster and Welfare Fund.
