Students from Queensland, Tasmania, Adelaide and Vietnam attended Australian Lutheran College’s (ALC) recent ‘Christian Liturgy and Church Rites’ intensive (a Greek intensive was held earlier this year), which was hosted by St Petri congregation in the Barossa Valley from 19 to 24 August.

The Commission on Worship, in collaboration with Lutheran Earth Care Australia and New Zealand, has made available Season of Creation worship resources for 2024. Congregations are encouraged to begin this season of prayer and action for the environment with a service on 1 September.

New prayers, liturgy and music resources prepared by the LCANZ Pastoral Care Working Group have been added to the Worship Planning Page.

If you lead or assist in worship services, a workshop in South Australia next month that has been initiated by ALC and local pastors may provide valuable information and encouragement for your role.

The LCANZ’s Commission on Worship maintains a list of congregations and parishes that offer live-streamed worship services.

This year, the Worship Planning Page has prepared a range of resources to support congregations wishing to hold Easter Vigils on the Saturday of Holy Week.
