UPDATE FROM THE SBLC CALL COMMITTEE
Our Vision Statement said that the pastor is called to work with us to build upon the collaborative work we are achieving.
The List of Pastors Available for Call is being made available with this week’s newsletter.
Any member can suggest names from the list to be considered by the Call Committee.
These suggestions can be submitted verbally, or in writing to your call committee representative or to Katrina Neldner (kneldner@bigpond.com).
These need to be submitted by Monday, November 24th.
When submitting names, it will be of great assistance to the Call Committee if you could indicate which of the above items apply to the pastor.

Kind Regards SBLC Call Committee – Michael Heinrich, Wendy Liebelt, Dennis Canute, Paul Schubert, Katrina Neldner & Phil Hiscock
To help coordinate our Christmas Eve services we are asking for an indication from families as to whether their Children would like to be involved in the Christmas Eve Nativity presentations.
In particular we would like to know of any Children keen to have an active role/speaking part, this may involve 3-4 practices prior to the night.
There will also be an opportunity for Children on the night to join in and be a part of the presentations.
Could families please indicate likely participation by following the link on the button below by Sunday 23rd November:

Pray for energy and continued relationship building.
Pray for young people to sign up to camp and the travel logistics.
