The report proposes legislative changes that would be unlikely to support the current freedom for schools to build communities of faith. Two weeks after a massive rain and flooding event caused devastation in northern Aotearoa–New Zealand, Cyclone Gabrielle last week hit the same areas of the nation's North Island. In a message to the wider church, LCNZ Bishop Mark Whitfield has asked our Lutheran family to pray for those affected. Remember your congregation's Child Safety Plan is due on 31 March. Under LCA policy, all congregations are required to submit a plan to ensure they meet their legal, ethical and synodical obligations to be a child-safe congregation. Thank you to all congregations who have already submitted their plan. Contact your District Professional Standards Officer (see www.lca.org.au/psd) or Mary-Ann Carver or Nicole Hall at the Churchwide Office at css@lca.org.au or on 08 8267 7300, if you need assistance. This week is the last chance to place an order for the current offering from Lutheran Winemakers. Enjoy some wonderful wines – and support local mission projects.
