The Lutheran Church of Australia (LCA) is committed to providing a safe church environment for children and young people. The LCA acknowledges that children are a precious gift from God, with special vulnerabilities, that they require nourishment and nurture in their spiritual development and that they are to be protected from all forms of abuse. The LCA also affirms that it has no tolerance for child abuse and that all its people have an important responsibility to care for children and to keep them safe. The way we care for children reflects our genuineness of faith. It is also a reflection of God’s love and his divine protection.

A communique from the LCAVD Office of the Bishop was sent this morning, re the Victorian Fires.
Please share the communique with your communities (PDF link below).
Almighty God, our refuge and strength, our help in times of trouble.
We come to You in this time of fear and uncertainty, as powerful fires threaten lives, homes, and Your creation. We lift our prayers for all those in the path of the flames:
Shield those who must evacuate, their homes, pets, and all wildlife. Guide them to a place of safety.
Strengthen and protect the firefighters, first responders, and all who work tirelessly to keep others safe. Give them skill, courage, and endurance as they face danger, and bring them safely back to their families.
Bring peace to anxious hearts and comfort to those who have suffered terrible loss. Uphold the grieving and provide for the displaced, surrounding them with a supportive community.
Calm the winds that fan the flames, and send us drenching rain to quench the fires and bring relief to the parched earth.
We trust in Your power and mercy, knowing that nothing can separate us from Your love in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Amen.
Happy New Year! The Psalm for New Year's Day is Psalm 8 (read more here: www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm%208&version=NIV ). No matter what 2026 brings, God will be with us through it all 🙏
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit (Rom 15:13).
The LCAVD staff send you all Christmas Blessings as we celebrate the birth of our Lord and Saviour. Our office will close at 4.00pm TODAY (23rd) and re-open on Tuesday 13th January.
