LCA Story of the Week
Many people have had to adjust to changes in work, home and church life due to COVID-19. But while many things have changed in 2020, Christine Matthias believes a focus on Christ’s birth and traditions built on enjoying simple things together, means Christmas won’t be all that different for her family.

Prayers for the Week
· For those in authority, such as Queen Elizabeth and her representatives; Prime Minister Scott Morrison and members of parliament; Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk and state parliamentarians; and Mayor Paul McVeigh and local councillors; that they may act wisely
· For the Church, Lutheran Community Care - Salem; as it prepares for the celebration of the birth of Christ
· For the pastors Bishop John Henderson, District Bishop Paul Smith; Pastor Joel Pukallus and all pastors; that the leaders of the church would keep watch over those in their care
· For all the baptised - that God would strengthen them in faith
· That God would bless the missions of the church
· That those who hear the gospel would repent and believe
· That we may prepare the way for the gospel by pursuing justice in our society
· That just as we await summer and the harvest and holidays, we may be prepared for the coming day of the Lord
