Barossa Christian Life Week 2026 - Looking for Catering Helpers
Barossa Christian Life Week is coming up in the July school holidays, and we’re looking for friendly volunteers to help in the kitchen and support our catering coordinators.
Barossa CLW is a 5-day Christian camp for high school students from across the Barossa and surrounding communities. Young people from different churches come together to build friendships, grow in faith, and learn more about God.
Camp runs Monday 6th - Friday 10th July at Cornerstone College, Mount Barker, with kitchen preparation beginning Sunday 5 July.
Each year we serve meals to around 100 campers and leaders, and our kitchen team plays a huge role in making camp possible.
Kitchenhands – We are hoping to have 4–5 volunteers each day to assist with food prep, serving meals, and cleaning. You are welcome to help for one day or several days.
All menus, recipes and shopping will be organised. We simply need someone onsite to prepare these meals.
Serving in the kitchen is a wonderful way to support the young people attending camp and be part of the wider CLW community.
If this sounds like something you would enjoy helping with, or you know someone who might be interested, please get in touch.

Lenten Series: “Jesus’ Words from the Cross”
In His final moments on the cross, Jesus spoke seven profound statements - words that echo through history and speak directly to our hearts today. These are not just words of suffering; they are words of hope, forgiveness, love, and victory. Each phrase reveals the depth of God’s grace and the power of His plan for redemption.
Join us as we journey through “Jesus’ Words from the Cross”, exploring what a selection of these statements mean for our lives. Discover how his words bring comfort in pain, assurance in uncertainty, and strength in surrender. This series will draw us closer to the heart of Christ and remind us of the incredible love displayed on Calvary.

Dear congregations of the SA-NT District,
When: Saturday 2 May 2026. Time: 10am - 4pm. Where: Unity College, Murray Bridge.
What: Electives, stalls and inspiring speakers to encourage mission and ministry in your communities.
Cost: $65 includes all meals and access to resources, electives and workshops
We are delighted to share with you an exciting opportunity to come together to gather, grow and go in Christ. As we now only gather for synod every second year, there is no longer a requirement to hold annual synodical conventions. So instead of holding synod for delegates only, we have decided this year to host ‘Together in Christ’ – an opportunity for everyone to focus on the mission and ministry of the church.
Please consider this as a great opportunity for any member of your congregation to attend this special event and learn more about what is happening in the district. There will be electives to equip people to gather, grow and go in mission, and an expo showcasing what is available for congregations and communities as we live out the Great Commission. We are super excited to have a range of specialists and guest speakers to inspire us for this event.
All the details can be found here: https://sant.lca.org.au/events/together-in-christ/ including resources to share in your bulletins, service order PowerPoint slides, and flyers to distribute to members. These resources have also been attached to this email. Please promote this as widely as possible.
