WELCOME to the MARCH eNews

Hi there and welcome to March! Can you believe how quickly the year is flying by? We have a lot to share with you this month so grab a coffee and settle in!

In this month's edition:

• On Your Hearts Summer
• GIFT Lent - order now....plus MUCH MORE!

Grow's newest addition

We are excited to share with you news about our latest resource ‘Grow Together’ designed particularly with families in mind.

It’s short and sharp because we know you’re busy, but we also know how much a little bit of encouragement goes a long way. So, be encouraged, be blessed, be inspired to read and think about the ways you could impact or transform your family life.

This quarterly newsletter (formally known as ‘Faith Family’) is a resource aimed to equip parents and families with inspiration to take up their spiritual role as parents, grandparents and carers to parent with eternity in mind.

As Michelle Anthony shares, ‘what you believe and where you aim your heart determine the direction and outcome of your entire life through eternity. Eternity is at stake for all of us, including parents that shepherd their children. What is more relevant than that?’

It's been a busy start to the year!

Grow Ministries has been very busy already this year! 

RETHINK BAROSSA - We had a wonderful time in the Barossa Valley, SA with over 60 people representing 12 congregations. We had a wonderful day sharing and learning together.

GROW COACHING CONGREGATIONS - February saw us spending time with our Cluster Groups from SA and QLD. The focus was on Guiding Principle #3 - Mentoring and how important it is for supporting the young people in our congregatoins.

EMPOWER - Vicki also visited Victoria to present an elective at the Lutheran Youth of Victoria's annual event Empower. It was great to encourage and support the young adults of Victoria in this way.

Keep an eye out for us! You never know where we might pop up!
