On Sunday 10th May David Kolfen, Lee Kolfen, and Ryan Knopke publicly confessed the faith that was given to them on the day they were baptised. Their course of study brought together God's Word, Luther's Small Catechism and the Liturgy of the Divine Service. Please pray for these young people as they continue to grow in faith and as they live out this faith in service to others.

The theme for District Synod this year was "Forgiven & Forgiving" and this followed on from Pastors' Conference where three days were spent working through the material presented by "Ambassadors of Reconciliation." This was both inspiring and a timely reminder to trust in God to work through the means of grace he has blessed his church with – His Word and the sacraments of Holy Baptism and the Lord's Supper.

"Darwin's theory of evolution profoundly changed the way humankind views its place in the world. Yet, despite its overwhelming acceptance by most of the scientific community, surveys constantly indicate large percentages of the population in Western countries have doubts about it. With the benefit of hindsight and the incredible breadth of scientific knowledge now available, how valid are Darwin’s ideas today? And what drove his thinking?" Find out this Sunday at the BCC Grafton Street Cinemas, Cairns.
