INVITATION TO THE ORDINATION OF DAVID LAZARUS
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
With great joy, I warmly invite you to my ordination, which will be held on:
Sunday 12 July 2026 at 2:00 pm. Glynde Lutheran Church, 15–17 Glynburn Road, Glynde SA
Grace and peace to you.
I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to each one of you for your prayers, encouragement, and support for my family and me. Your love and care have carried us through this season, and we are deeply grateful.
If you visit the LCANZ website, you will see that I have been assigned as a General Ministry Pastor at Trinity Ashmore on the Gold Coast, Queensland. I give thanks to God for this opportunity and look forward with joy to serving God’s people in this new community.
It would mean a great deal to me and my family to have you there as we mark this significant step in our ministry journey.
I also humbly ask you to continue keeping my family and me in your prayers—for God’s guidance, a smooth transition and the strength we need as we prepare for this move. Your ongoing support is a profound blessing to us.
With warm blessings,
David

UNLOCKING THE ENNEAGRAM
Transforming How You See Yourself and Others
Join our Tabor ASCEND Workshop on: Friday 24 July 2026, 9:00am - 4:00pm
ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP
Want to learn more about yourself and find practical strategies for personal, spiritual and relational growth?
The Enneagram is a powerful tool for self-awareness, personal growth, and understanding others. In this full-day workshop, participants will explore personality through the lens of core motivations, diving deep into the Enneagram’s types, wings, levels, paths, triads, and tritypes to gain practical insights for personal and relational growth.
Through interactive activities, reflection, and discussion, attendees will gain practical insights into their own motivations, emotional patterns, and relational styles. They will also learn how to recognise and appreciate the perspectives of others, improving communication, empathy, and collaboration in both professional and personal contexts.
By the end of the day, participants will have a deeper understanding of themselves and those they interact with, equipping them to lead, teach, and relate with greater clarity, compassion, and effectiveness.

THERE’S A POINT TO IT: A History of Immanuel Lutheran Church, Point Pass
Speaker: Samuel Doering Thursday 25 June at 7.30pm, at Immanuel Lutheran Church,
139 Archer St, North Adelaide SA 5006
LIVESTREAM on FoLA YouTube channel:
https://www.youtube.com/@friendsoflutheranarchives9644/live
For 150 years, Immanuel Church has stood as a landmark of faith, learning, and community in South Australia. From its role as the home congregation of the first Neuendettelsau-trained pastor in Australia to its central place in Georg Leidig’s bold vision for Immanuel College, the church has been at the heart of the Lutheran story. Drawing on rich material from Lutheran Archives - and the research behind his new book There’s a Point to It (launched April 2026) - historian Samuel Doering tells the compelling story of one of Australia’s most influential Lutheran centres. The book will be available for purchase at the meeting.
All welcome, $5 donation, supper included.
