The District Office has put together a handy monthly WHS calendar, breaking down your church’s yearly requirements into easy-to-complete monthly jobs. Follow along with the schedule and tick off your tasks!

In the first few months of 2021, there will be several pastor installations across the District. Please keep these pastors and congregations in your prayers as they get to know each other.

COVID-19 update for places of worship in SA as announced on Friday, 20 November 2020.

A bright, refreshed space has given youth and families a new lease on life at Langmeil Lutheran Church.

Golden Grove Lutheran Church had 1700 people visit its grounds (COVID-safe) for its Community Fete on Sunday, October 18.

About 120 people gathered for the annual Top of The Valley event at Birdwood Lutheran Church in October. The theme was ‘Looking Forward Looking Back’ and the event was open to everyone in the local community, which continues to rebuild after the 2019 drought, the Cudlee Creek fire and COVID-19.

Last month, the District’s admin team held a craft day, where they made a card with a message for the wife of every pastor in SA and NT. It’s been a challenging year for many in the Church and we wanted these women to know that they are appreciated and cared about.

The once-proud church building at Sandleton may have been demolished, but thanks to the efforts of a team of locals who have been restoring the site, the precious memories there have been preserved. 

It has been wonderful to see people gathered together in our church buildings again following the easing of COVID-19 restrictions. Here is a collection of photos from congregations across the District documenting their first worship services in person for several months.

Volunteering is simply a way of life for Carmel Wuttke. Her love for people is evident in the numerous volunteer activities she undertakes within the local Waikerie community, where she is a very well-known and much-loved figure.
