Samaritans Purse Operation Christmas Child - 4 weeks to go
What if a shoebox could do more than deliver toys and toiletries? What if it opened the door to eternal hope? When you pack a gift-filled shoebox through Operation Christmas Child, you’re sending more than just gifts—you’re sending love, joy, and the Gospel of Jesus Christ to a child who may have never heard it before.
Your act of kindness has the power to change a child’s life, a family, even a whole community. Your shoebox gift will be an expression of God’s love to a child. It may be the only gift the child receives.
Plan to fill your shoebox with quality new items that will last. When packing your shoebox think; FUN, adding a ‘wow’ item and new toys a child will love; FULL, with no empty space; and PERSONALISED, including a note of encouragement or photo.
For more ideas and a list of things NOT to pack pick up an information sheet at The Hub.
You can pick up a shoebox to be filled and drop your shoebox off at The Christian Community Hub in Tanunda.
Shoe boxes will be collected from The Hub by Samaritans Purse between the 13th-27th of October.

Funday Sunday – What a Day!
The sun shone, the people came, and Funday Sunday truly lived up to its name!
From the awesome worship service until pack down began, the day was filled with God’s love, laughter, joy and community spirit.
Families turned out to enjoy delicious food, fun activities, and entertainment. The kids had a wonderful time - running, playing, crafting.
Events like these don’t happen without the hard work and support of many people.
A huge THANK YOU to everyone who helped make Funday Sunday such a success—our volunteers, organisers, stallholders, entertainers, and of course, everyone who came along to share the day with us.

Safe Church – Child Safe Information
The LCA has a three-stage process to enable continuous improvement of child safety.
Congregations are asked to review how they meet the Child Safety Standards every three years by undertaking the following steps:
1. Self-Assessment
2. Development of Child Safety Standards Action Plan
3. Implementation of Child Safety Standards Action Plan.
Implementation of the Child Safety Standards is compulsory for all Australian congregations. Church Council is responsible for making this happen. Each of the ten LCA Child Safety Standards has several elements that act as indicators regarding what needs to be in place to meet the standard. Self-Assessment is a way to measure and see how your congregation is going and using the indicators. It is like doing a child safety ‘health check’.
