Christian Life Week Leaders
Thank you Dinner & Vocation Expo
The Lutheran Church of Australia Queensland District is hosting a FREE dinner & vocational
expo on Saturday 23 July to thank the 2011 June/July CLW leaders. The dinner is recognition
of the selfless way that CLW leaders give up their time & finances to support the powerful
ministry of Christian Life Week.
The dinner, which is being hosted by District President Noel Noack at the Riverglenn Function
Centre, will be a chance for leaders to reconnect after camp. It will also serve as an
opportunity for leaders to discover other ways they could serve within the Lutheran Church
in Australia. Representatives from Lutheran Education Queensland, Lutheran Community
Care and Australian Lutheran College will be on hand to outline some of the exciting
vocational opportunities that exist within the LCA.
The 2011 June/July CLW Leaders are encouraged to register at www.qld.lca.org.au by 13 July
