SBLC SURVEY - to be posted to each congregation member. You will receive your survey shortly.
Dear Members,
As recently advised, the Lutheran Church of Australia, SA/NT District, together with the SBLC Call Committee and the SBLC Governance Council are conducting a survey among all members and regular attenders, including children, to determine the views of as many as possible, on a number of points which will enable the Call process and the future of SBLC to be further discussed.
The questions on the survey form require a ‘tick the box’ response, you are welcome and encouraged to provide further comments. The number of survey forms you receive should be the same as the number of church attenders in your household. Additional forms, if required, will be available from your regular worship site.
Please complete one survey each and return them in the stamped return envelope provided or to Langmeil Church Office.
We ask that parents assist the younger children with completion of their form. We ask that you please return the survey form by 25th July.
Once returned, the Lutheran Church of Australia, SA/NT District will collate the responses and provide a report which will be further discussed over the coming months at meetings to be called.
Yours in Christ
Phil Hiscock
Secretary, Southern Barossa Lutheran Church Governance Council

Holy Trinity Movie Night
Join us 6 July at Holy Trinity Church Hall as we show the movie “Hidden Secrets”.
Movie starts @ 7 PM and is still just $5.
What if your deepest secrets were suddenly exposed? Nine friends discover just how explosive it can be when their past becomes their present. Reunited at the funeral of hometown hero Chris Hayden, the friends find tensions escalating rapidly as their darkest secrets are revealed.
Jeremy, struggling with his calling as a youth pastor, is caught in an awkward love triangle between his new fiancée and his old flame Sherry. As the embers of the past relationship reignite, Jeremy's fiancée Rachel, who is determined to solidify their relationship, demands he affirm his commitment to her.
Meanwhile, Gary questions everyone's beliefs as this close-knit group of friends disputes world views, lifestyles, and personal passions.
Pastor Wexler encourages them not to give up but to follow the truth that Chris Hayden lived.
Hope you can come!
