Ways to give thanks for 70 years of service through ALWS
This Sunday 18 October, our Lutheran Church comes together to give thanks to God for 70 years of service to people hurt by poverty, injustice and crisis, through Australia Lutheran World Service (ALWS).
Obey
‘Then he [Moses] took the Book of the Covenant and read it to the people. They responded, “We will do everything the Lord has said; we will obey”’ (Exodus 24:7).
A fitting response
‘The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son’ (Matthew 22:2).
Even in the presence of my enemies
‘You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows’ (Psalm 23:5).
LCA/NZ ordination service to be live-streamed
Due to COVID-19 restrictions limiting attendance numbers at public gatherings, this year’s LCA/NZ ordination service will be live-streamed on the internet, so that people from across the church can participate.
