Lutheran Church in Queensland - LCANZ
Hey everyone, it’s Milton the Cassowary here again—still on the road with Bishop Mark and Pastor David, and this time we dropped in at St Andrew’s College and Church at Tallebudgera (and yes… we still need to get to the Aged Care next visit!).There’s something really special going on here. New people are turning up almost every week. At Easter, five adults were confirmed—and over the past year there have been a number of adult baptisms too (along with plenty of kids!). The common theme? People keep saying they’re surprised by the new things God is doing.What I love is that they’re not chasing big, flashy programs. They’re simply paying attention to where God is already at work—and joining in, loving people as Jesus does.And it’s making a difference. There’s a strong sense of connection growing here. People feel safe, heard, and like they truly belong. It’s not just new people either—some who had drifted away are reconnecting.There’s a real intergenerational feel, with kids fully part of worship (yep… seen and heard!). And I love the little things—like the “First Five,” where everyone takes time to connect with someone new after the service.They’ve also created simple but powerful spaces like their trivia night—bringing together the college, congregation, and aged care to build genuine relationships.Oh—and Pastor Andrew knows everyone’s name. Not because it’s a small church (it’s not!), but because he believes people matter.And… small highlight for me… I even got to sit on a seat that Chris Hemsworth once sat on. Not bad for a cassowary! 😄Tallebudgera, thanks for reminding me that when people belong, church comes alive in the best kind of way. ... See MoreSee Less

Lutheran Church in Queensland - LCANZ
Hey everyone, it’s Milton the Cassowary here again—and I learnt something on the road today! Apparently, Queensland is bigger than almost every country in the world… all but about 16 or 17 depending on who you ask. No wonder we’re doing so many kilometres!This time we visited Good News Lutheran Congregation at Middle Park, and what a great name—it really does feel like good news in action. They gather right in the chapel in the middle of Good News Lutheran School, and it’s a beautiful partnership. There’s a real sense that church and school belong together, and that connection is deeply valued.Like many communities, they took some big hits through COVID and other challenges. But what’s been happening recently is really encouraging—they’re not just reconnecting, they’ve rediscovered a strong sense of purpose and mission. They’re even about to step into a Mission Renewal Dialogue to keep sharpening that focus.There’s a strong sense of belonging here. One guest recently said they stayed because they “felt strongly that Jesus is here.” That sense of belonging is real… and a little bit messy too! Sunday mornings kick off with a lively, slightly chaotic “meet and greet,” where people are encouraged to connect with someone new. And it’s exciting to see new younger families, along with baptisms of about 10 people from the Middle East, becoming part of the community—building a truly intergenerational church.They’ve also got a big heart for the wider community, supporting people doing it tough through Emmanuel City Mission. Middle Park, thanks for the welcome—and for living out the Good News in such a real and grounded way. ... See MoreSee Less
