FOLA - MOVING BACK TO COUNTRY
Speaker: Glen Auricht. Thursday 23 July at 7.30pm. 139 Archer St, North Adelaide SA 5006
Glen will speak about his role in providing the resources of Finke River Mission and the Government to aboriginal families, as they moved back to the traditional lands that their grandparents had left in the early pioneering days of the Hermannsburg mission. It’s a story of struggles, reconciliation and survival amid great social change for the aboriginal people, the Hermannsburg Mission and the church.
Glen and his wife Guliana arrived in Hermannsburg in Feb 1973 as newly marrieds and worked for 23 years at Finke River Mission Hermannsburg and the Outstations.
They raised 4 children at Hermannsburg, and all have Arrarnta kinship names.

DINNER FOR EIGHT
What is Dinner for Eight?
Dinner for eight is an opportunity for members of our congregations to enjoy small group fellowship over the intimacy of a meal.
You can be a single, a couple or a family and you can choose to be either a host or a visitor. The host provides the venue and decides the style of meal they would like to have. Each guest will be asked by the host to bring something.
Congregation Coordinators are:
Tabor: Jenny Schubert Grace: Kirsty Heinrich
Bethany: Sue Nicolai Schoenborn: Julie Hoklas
Langmeil: Penny Pfitzner Lyndoch: Wendy Liebelt
The coordinators will place you into groups of approximately eight. Each host is notified of the details of the members of their group and then they contact their group members as soon as possible to select a date for their event. They may choose to meet in the evening or at a lunch time sometime between October and November.
Please return your completed form to your coordinator before or on 2nd August 2026

Now that our Lead Pastor is in place, we have prayerfully considered candidates for our Second Pastor role and are pleased to present Paul Ridley. We believe Paul understands our vision and would be a strong fit for Living Vine as we move forward together.
Paul is a recent graduate. Unlike a traditional call process, this is a "Call Under Assignment".
A Call Meeting will be held where the congregation will have the opportunity to consider and vote on whether to request Paul’s assignment as our Second Pastor. If supported, the request will then be submitted to the College of Bishops, who will make the final decision regarding Paul’s placement. We expect to hear the outcome within the next few weeks.
