Let’s make Funday Sunday 2025 a day to remember - together.
LCA International Mission have prepared a Devotional and Prayer guide to use during Pentecost, which begins on 8 June.
Acts 2 tells the story of Parthians, Medes and Elamites; residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene; visitors from Rome, both Jews and converts to Judaism; Cretans and Arabs, people from all nations, hearing Galilean followers of Jesus tell of God’s great deeds of power.
Because while there may be one Gospel, the Holy Spirit reveals that Gospel through countless images, words, music and culture.
An electronic copy of the Prayer Guide is available to download from the LCA International Mission website.

Hi friends!
A combined SBLC Ascension Day service, with Holy Communion, will be held this evening, Thursday May 29th, at 7:30 p.m. at Grace St Paul’s.
Nearly any Christian can tell you why we celebrate Christmas and Easter.
But what about the Ascension of our Lord, forty days after Easter - May 29th this year?
Why is Ascension also important to celebrate?
- By his ascension, he was providing us with a valuable lesson — everything he came to do was complete.
- With Christians all around the world we can celebrate the Lord’s Supper until he comes again.
- With his ascension the promise to send the Holy Spirit could be fulfilled.
- We now have Christ himself interceding on our behalf before God.
- When Christ ascended, he promised that he would return someday. Now we can live each day looking forward to his return.
- Christ returned to heaven to prepare a place for us
There is great value in realizing the impact of events such as the Ascension, and how they shape our lives and define our faith.
