Update from SBLC Call Committee 15th January 2025

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

Barossa Lutheran Care Thank You

Thank you from Louise Hickinbotham at Barossa Lutheran Care

Firstly, thank you all for the support over the past year and especially the past few months.

Your congregations have been overwhelmingly supportive of our 2024 Christmas Hamper Program, and Lutheran Care Barossa genuinely appreciates all the support that has come our way to help support locals needing a hand up. In total, your congregations helped to support

308 referrals to the Barossa Hamper Program, this included 228 families with 533 Children provided with gifts.

So again, thank you to those who volunteered, donated physical items such as pantry staples, Christmas items, everyday essentials and the wonderful gifts for Children. The physical monetary donations we received were used to purchase the items that we were low in, to make up the Food Hamper Bags and to purchase some extra gifts for the Children we didn't have gifts for.

All monetary Christmas donations deposited directly to Lutheran Care, go towards purchasing the 200 Food Bank Hampers that we give to families and extra Toys that we bulk buy to fulfill Children's gift bags.

So again, thank you for your support, we cannot pull off this project without your kindness.

Emergency Relief Pantry - currently very low in Toothbrushes and Pasta Sauce
