Australia and New Zealand will each observe a dedicated week focused on child safety and wellbeing, with free resources to support communities. In the LCANZ, this focus is reflected in the ongoing commitment to submit a Child Safety Standards Action Plan. Haven’t submitted yours yet? Now’s the time.

‘Presence ’ is a nine-part video series with newly added companion study guides that introduces people to what Lutherans believe. A project of the LCANZ Churchwide Office, this versatile and free faith-life resource unpacks key Lutheran teachings using the films as conversation starters.

The South Australia – Northern Territory District invites all congregations to acknowledge and pray for communities impacted by drought with a special service of praise and prayer on Sunday 31 August.

Many congregations still need to submit their Child Safety Standards Action Plans or Child Safety Assurances. This is a vital step in creating safe church environments in our congregations.

If your congregation has marked a milestone in the life of your faith community recently, then Lutheran Archives is keen to receive documents and photos commemorating the occasion.
