40 Days of Purpose - Starts on 25 July |

So what is 40 Days of Purpose?
A wonderful opportunity to ask the big questions about life and seek the answers in God’s word. Think of it like a spiritual fitness program – we train for a sporting event or diet sacrificially to lose some weight, this is an opportunity to put some exercise into our spiritual life!
How does it work?
For 40 days, starting from the 25th July, there will be:-
- daily reading from “The Purpose Driven Life” by Pastor Rick Warren,
- weekly meeting in a small group to watch a DVD and share discussion,
- a weekly bible verse to focus on and memorise
- a weekly Sunday sermon by Pastor Puk that will build on the material presented.
Who else is doing it?
Nationally a large number of churches will be doing it at the same time. More than 1500 churches including Lutheran churches have already been powerfully strengthened by the program.
How much will it cost?
|
|
In monetary terms, $12 gets you a copy of “The Purpose Driven Life”, memory verses and a DVD for your small group.
In terms of time, for 6 weeks, 15-30 minutes per day for quiet time, plus two hours on one day or evening per week, and Sunday worship. Consider it an investment in your long term future!
Who should take up the challenge?
Hopefully you will! This opportunity is for everyone from children to 80 year olds. We plan to organise groups to meet everyone’s location and time needs. What a great opportunity for us as a community to grow and share together!
For more information, talk to Pastor Puk, Sean or John Neldner, or go to www.purposedriven.com.au

Good News Village Partnership |

In Partnership with ALWS, Good News Lutheran Community has begun a journey of partnership with the Madargach Village in Eastern Nepal. This partnership gives us the opportunity to develop deep, meaningful and long lasting links with this community on the other side of the world. Through this link, we will be able to learn more about ourselves and our fellow human beings and explore Jesus' call to truly love others as we love ourselves. We are assisting them with projects that they undertake to improve their quality of life, and through ongoing dialogue, we will have the chance to build friendships, refocus our priorities and appreciate our lives in a whole new light.
Watch this space for more information about our village and our partnership.... coming very soon.
We work with expectation to see what God has planned for our two communities as we set off on this road together!

 On Sunday Chaplain Sean spoke during the 9.30 service about one of the many opportunities we as a congregation have for meeting the needs of our local community. Sean shared that having talked to other chaplains in our local Schools and Churches that an opportunity exists to help support families in need through the prevision of non perishable food stuffs.
