SBLC SURVEY
Dear Members,
As recently advised, the Lutheran Church of Australia, SA/NT District, together with the SBLC Call Committee and the SBLC Governance Council are conducting a survey among all members and regular attenders, including children, to determine the views of as many as possible, on a number of points which will enable the Call process and the future of SBLC to be further discussed.
The questions on the survey form require a ‘tick the box’ response, you are welcome and encouraged to provide further comments. The number of survey forms you receive should be the same as the number of church attenders in your household. Additional forms, if required, will be available from your regular worship site.
Please complete one survey each and return them in the stamped return envelope provided or to Langmeil Church Office.
We ask that parents assist the younger children with completion of their form.
We ask that you please return the survey form by 25th July.
Once returned, the Lutheran Church of Australia, SA/NT District will collate the responses and provide a report which will be further discussed over the coming months at meetings to be called.
Yours in Christ
Phil Hiscock
Secretary, Southern Barossa Lutheran Church Governance Council

Biographer, playwright, theatre director, and set designer, John Strehlow was born in 1946 in Adelaide, into a family closely involved with Aboriginal people for three generations. He began researching his grandparents’ two- volume biography, The Tale of Frieda Keysser, in earnest in 1994, publishing the first volume in 2011 and the second volume late in 2019. When John Strehlow embarked on a book about his family, The Tale of Frieda Keysser, he had no idea what he was letting himself in for. Investigating a Forgotten Past gives the inside story in a nuts-and-bolts outline of the 25-year project.
Copies of the eBook will be on sale on the evening, and it is hoped a Print on Demand copy may also be available.
