These are the Young Life Barossa bulletin notices for October:
*After a well-deserved break over the holidays we are gearing up to start breakfast clubs at Faith secondary collage on a Thursday morning and Nuriootpa High on a Wednesday morning. We are looking for some more helpers to cook the BBQ so our leaders are free to chat to our youth or if you think you might be up for the challenge to become a leader (age is just a number), please contact Tiffany 0466 039 463 or tiffanyvoigt@younglife.org.au
*Freestyle Dance is coming to the Barossa again Friday the 17th at 6pm any young person from years 5-12 can join in on the fun. $15 for an hour of dance and supper included. Contact Tiffany.
*Young Life National Summer Camp 2026 is fast approaching and with the bus hire price going up considerably this year we are looking for more generous donations to get youth and volunteers to camp. We really appreciate any form of help and prayer.

OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD - DROP YOUR SHOEBOX OFF AT THE HUB NOW!
Shoe boxes will be collected from The Hub by Samaritans Purse between the 13th-27th of October.
What if a shoebox could do more than deliver toys and toiletries?
What if it opened the door to eternal hope?
When you pack a gift-filled shoebox through Operation Christmas Child, you’re sending more than just gifts—you’re sending love, joy, and the Gospel of Jesus Christ to a child who may have never heard it before. Your act of kindness has the power to change a child’s life, a family, even a whole community.
Your shoebox gift will be an expression of God’s love to a child. It may be the only gift the child receives. Plan to fill your shoebox with quality new items that will last. When packing your shoebox think; FUN, adding a ‘wow’ item and new toys a child will love; FULL, with no empty space; and PERSONALISED, including a note of encouragement or photo. For more ideas and a list of things NOT to pack click pick up an information sheet at The Hub. You can pick up a shoebox to be filled and drop your shoebox off at The Christian Community Hub in Tanunda.

Safety Management Online (SMO) Compliance Tool
SMO is a web-based system to assist in managing safety and care processes and providing a wide range of resources.
It is a management, monitoring, training and compliance tool for people working with vulnerable people. A sub-site is activated and a record of teams, e.g. Parish Council, is created along with team members.
WWCC clearance and Safe Church Training credentials are recorded on completion.
SMO generates an email to remind the team members they need to commence, complete or renew their credentials.
Programs are created e.g. Bethany’s SBIT, with safety plans, Risk Assessment tools, Incident reporting & Permission to Proceed.
All relevant paperwork downloaded into SMO.
