another way to consider LENT

Ash Wednesday marked the beginning of the church season known as Lent. These are 40 days leading up to Easter. Traditionally, lent has focused on contemplation and sacrifice. So, the usually thing has been to give something up for lent, like chocolate or coffee. Well, we are going to take a different approach this year. The inspiration behind this comes from the prophetic claim that Christ came to bring healing to the nations, that the reason for Christ's coming was to do away with sin and darkness, and retire us to life in the kingdom of light.

Beginning with this Sunday, we will be exploring the Biblical message of HEALING. Dr.Phillip Morris will be our guest speaker on Sunday, 27th of March. This coming Sunday, the message will explore John 3 - entering into a new realm of existence!

Stephan House at Living Word

Invitations have gone out. Preparations have been made. It's all going to come together on Sunday when the students and staff from Stephan House (Trinity Lutheran College) will join us for our worship service. The partnership between the congregation and the college go back to the founding years. In June of this year, we will be celebrating our 30th anniversary. 15 of those years have been at the 'Trinity Centre' (the building used by the college for assemblies and used by the congregation for their worship services). Discover more about our college at: www.TLC.qld.edu.au
