Australian Lutheran College Annual Appeal

This is your opportunity to support the college financially as it trains and prepares people for service in Christ’s mission.

Visit ALC’s website https://alc.edu.au/connect/annual-appeal/ to view our appeal material.

Donations over $2.00 are tax-deductible. Donate online at https://alc.edu.au/donations/ or over the phone Freecall 1800 625 193 or post your donation to Reply Paid 83448, North Adelaide SA 5006 (no stamp required).

Thank you for your support. In conjunction with the appeal, we are asking congregations to consider holding a retiring offering for ALC on the Sunday that they promote the appeal and to include a petition for ALC in the general prayers.

Prayer points may include: - the staff who serve at the College in many and varied roles; - the students who are enrolled at ALC from all over Australia, New Zealand and the Asia Pacific; - that more people will feel called and encouraged to study at ALC in order to meet the needs of the Church; and that ALC’s appeal might be well received and supported.

Yours in Christ’s service

Rev Dr Tim Stringer ALC Principal
