Christian Care Sunday
The LCANZ tagline where love comes to life finds natural expression in our Lutheran aged-care and community services. With more than 21 organisations across 90 sites in Australia and New Zealand, Lutheran aged care and community services bring the love of Christ to thousands of people every year.
Let's get started
The LCANZ encourages every congregation to celebrate the ministries of care that happen in our local churches and communities by choosing one Sunday every year to focus on the vulnerable people in our midst, and the individuals and organisations who assist them. By taking the time to acknowledge, pray for and bless these people and places, we trust that the Spirit of God will inspire and sustain us in our future care work.
It's easy to create a Christian Care Sunday celebration. Use the tools we've provided to brainstorm, listen to God's word, reflect and plan.
Resources
The Christian Care Sunday resources aim to equip and support the celebration of care ministries all over the LCANZ, which are undertaken by individuals, congregations, schools, aged-care and community services. Every day, love comes to life through these ministries of care.
