2024 Easter Blessings

The Queensland Police Service have identified some Lutheran Men of Australia (LMA) badges among recently seized stolen goods.

LCANZ Bishop Paul Smith has shared an Easter message, entitled “Hope in the Midst of Hard Times.” You can read Bishop Paul’s message here.

First Assistant Bishop Ben Hentschke has been appointed to the LCANZ’s General Church Board (GCB) for the remainder of the synodical term. 

The Lutheran Church of Australia and related entities such as Lutheran schools will have the opportunity to benefit from LLL’s decision to transition to a Religious Charitable Development Fund (RCDF).

Once again, humanity greets Easter amid ongoing conflicts and the displacement of people across the globe. Many suffer in the shadow of war, others are uprooted due to strife, and some face the aftermath of natural disasters, such as our community in Wujal Wujal.

The Servant of Christ Award honours LCANZ lay people for outstanding service. You are invited to submit nominations for the award.

The General Church Board has earmarked limited funding to assist in some cases where the parish is unable to cover Synod expenses.

Grow Ministries is offering a number of free resources for Lent, and also for Confirmation, that are perfect for schools and congregations.
