Worship at Home:

God always encourages his people to gather for worship in person to receive his Word and Sacraments, however, if you’re not able to attend worship in person, you might watch one of the following:

·       St Mark’s, Dalby: https://www.youtube.com/@StMarksLutheranChurchDalby

·       LCA: https://www.lca.org.au/worship/wpp/churchhome/

·       LCA QLD District: https://qld.lca.org.au/2022/05/10/the-streaming-keeps-flowing/

We believe Holy Communion is a special meal for baptised people who trust in Jesus as their only Saviour, are sorry for their sins, and wish to live as God intends.  As we eat the bread and drink the wine, we receive the true body and blood of Jesus Christ in a special way through our trust in his words.  Through this holy meal, Jesus gives us forgiveness, healing, new life, and salvation to sustain us in faith.  If you also trust these things together with us (and are already receiving Holy Communion at your own church), you’re welcome to participate in this meal.  If you have any questions about attending the Lord’s Supper, please see the pastor afterwards.

Our congregation is committed to ensuring the safety of children, youth, and all vulnerable people who are present at its activities.  All our volunteers who work with children and youth have current Working with children (Blue) cards and are regularly trained in child-safe practices and requirements.  If you would like to discuss the safety of any of our children, youth, or vulnerable people, please speak to the Pastor or a member of our Church Council.
