LCAQD

An update from the Lutheran Women of Queensland on how they have been adapting during this pandemic.

Be encouraged by this story from Townsville, of how the congregation and early childhood service, with the help of your donations, reached out in love to their lcoal community and beyond following the 2019 flood.

As we continue in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to serve the people in our care, the communities and agencies of the LCAQD will undertake the following responses to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) declared by the World Health Organisation to be a Pandemic.

One of the unseen and unsung ministries of our church is hospital chaplaincy.  This ministry is filled with volunteers who give up their time to be a listening ear and a slice of community to those in hospital.

These ‘disruptive missional practices’ bring life and a sense of identity in times that seem chaotic: ‘dwelling in the word’ and ‘dwelling in the world’.

I encourage the local delegates of our District to consider joining me in the journey of stepping aside in two years, and raising up younger delegates to represent the people.
