SBLC Confirmation Class Volunteers Needed
Hi congregations.
I am looking for volunteers to contribute afternoon tea for our Confirmation classes this year, held on Monday afternoons after school at Langmeil.
I’m hoping we have enough volunteers for a roster so it's only a few times a year.
Please email Rachel Brown at rachelabrown83@gmail.com if you'd like to be involved.
There are 20+ confirmands which is fantastic. Please keep them in your prayers.

As reported last week, Nich Kitchen declined our Call. He said that after much thought and prayer, he has decided to decline our call to the Southern Barossa, and to accept the call to Lifeway Church in Sydney. Nick felt he was being led to use his skills in the multi-ethnic mission at Lifeway. Nick stressed that declining our call is not a rejection of our vision and actions. He asked us to be patient as he believes we are heading in the right direction.
Pastor Nich will continue to keep us in his prayers. We ask they you include Nich and his family in your prayers as they make the move to lifeway Church in Sydney.
At the Call Meeting in December, the decision was made to extend a ‘contingent’ call to Ben Hentschke in the event that Nich declined our call. We contacted Bishop Andrew Brook and confirmed we are extending a call to Ben Hentschke. Ben returned from leave on Monday and Bishop Andrew informed him of our Call. We contacted Ben and have emailed the supplemental information regarding our call to him as the Lead Pastor for the SBLC. Ben also has received a call to Golden Grove. He has 4 weeks to consider and respond to the calls.
We ask that you include Ben and his family in your prayers as they consider the two calls they have received.
Please contact a member of the Call Committee if you have any queries.
Kind Regards SBLC Call Committee – Michael Heinrich, Wendy Liebelt, Nevin Nitschke, Dean Hoklas, Katrina Neldner & Phil Hiscock
