A note from Pastor Phil Joppich
Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ, special and precious offshoots of the true and Living Vine, I don’t like confrontation. How about you? God confronts sin because he “[takes] no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that they turn from their ways and live.” (Ezekiel 33:11) What might that mean for the way we listen and speak?
God bless you and your day. In Christ, the Living Vine.
Pastor Phil Joppich.
Living Vine Lutheran Church.

Message to members of the Living Vine Lutheran congregation from Ceduna and Denial Bay Lutheran congregation following Pastor Phil’s recent installation.
Make sure you look after Phil, and Jenny, we West Coasters will be watching!
This is a time of great change and transition for you, but also a time of great opportunity.
Learning to be one congregation, one ‘church’, will be your greatest challenge, and your greatest blessing.
We have been through this process, albeit on a smaller scale, and it has brought unity and a strengthening of faith.
We will be praying for you, and for Phil and Jenny as you work through these new times
