TANUNDA LUTHERAN WOMEN’S FELLOWSHIP GAMES AFTERNOON
1:30pm Thursday March 13th at The Langmeil Centre - Hosts: Grace
Bible Study: Pastor Paul Kerber
Project Donations: Aboriginal Missions Alice Springs Aboriginal Women’s Support Worker
The Southern Barossa Lutheran Church (SBLC) Ministry Team was established in September 2024 and has been meeting monthly ever since. This dedicated team is made up of individuals who are passionate about empowering and equipping our community to share the love of Jesus with everyone.
The team members are representative of all the congregations and include: Jo Herrmann (Leader) Rachel Brown (Confirmation Coordinator) Merv Storton (Pastoral Care Team) Mark Pfitzner (Worship Team) Travis Schiller (Children’s Ministry Team) Sophie Wilksch (Young Life) Jarome Graetz, Carly Kroehn, Angela Lange, Ian Lange, Tim Kroehn and Dave Zadow.
The team started by reviewing the current ministries within the SBLC region and were surprised by the wide range of opportunities available for our community to serve the Lord and others. This exercise provided a valuable starting point for future planning.
The next step was to identify the key areas and age groups that need attention and focus. As a group, it was agreed that the children and young people of SBLC should be the primary focus. By building relationships with them, we hope they can grow together and deepen their connection with the Lord.

To kick off its 80th anniversary celebrations, Lutheran Media has launched a history book called Lutheran media ministry in Australia and New Zealand: 80 years of blessings.
The book is available now for purchase and captures some interesting stories from past presenters, directors, staff and volunteers. Hearing stories from humble beginnings on radio in 1945 to our current reach across multiple media platforms, it’s a great inspiration to continue sharing real stories of hope through uplifting and transformative content.
We have searched our archives and found some fascinating stories and photos that will be shared across our social media platforms. It’s heartwarming to hear stories from past directors, presenters and staff who have all been impacted by messages of hope across multiple media platforms.
Our ‘Throwback Thursday’ segment recently shared some groovy archive photos of On the Spot presenters Kathy Heavyside and Greg Meyer. We’ve also shared some great images of recording back in the day. To stay up to date, join our community on Facebook, Instagram or LinkedIn.
Celebrate our 80th milestone by sharing your story, or come along to one of our key events this year:
- Saturday 21 June 2025 – thank you lunch, Barossa Valley SA
- Sunday 31 August – high tea at Concordia College, Toowoomba Qld
- Sunday 2 November – worship service of celebration at St Michael’s Lutheran Church, Hahndorf SA
