Vic-Tas District Church Council News
Members of District Church Council meet about eight times each year, to discuss and approve the major policy and financial decisions that impact the Victoria – Tasmania District. Meetings are either held in person or online. Throughout the year, DCC also receive reports from LEVNT, the Ministry & Mission Council, our two Campsites, and two sub-committees: People & Strategy SC and Finance, Audit & Risk SC.
At the last, end-March meeting, DCC:
- recommended that several identified SMP candidates be approved for the SMP programme;
- heard & discussed an update on the New Approved Provider Project for Aged Care (a regular item);
- heard & discussed a periodic report from LEVNT (a semi-regular item);
- discussed three new LEA policy & procedure items requiring feedback;
- shared the importance of unity and respect within the church;
- highlighted the value of reading/reviewing LCA Policies periodically.
DCC meetings often also include a devotion, and prayers for our District. Current prayer points include:
- That God may guide our church leaders and Pastors and help them to effectively communicate with church members & friends.
- That members may learn greater acceptance of differences within the church, being quick to listen, open to dialogue, and responding with consideration and respect.
The May DCC meeting (Friday 9th) will be followed by a Strategy Day on the morning of Saturday 10 May. This is a chance for DCC members to hear from various leaders in the Vic-Tas District community, which helps to formulate Strategy that supports and promotes our District in general.
