RETHINKING CONFERENCE | MT BARKER

Culture and society has changed so much, raising many new questions, issues and pressures.  This isn’t about a new program or theory, but instead remembering the ways God showed us to incorporate ministry into our everyday lives…..

Another wonderful day of Rethinking was held at St Mark's Lutheran Church, Mt Barker. Over 40 participants spent the day sharing and imagining. There was a lot of great conversation and learning. 

Last to chance to hear Rev David Anderson

GUIDING PRINCIPLE #3

MENTORING

Children and young people have multiple adult mentors of vital faith. 

Mentoring is important. At the most basic level it guarantees that a young person has someone who cares about them. They are not alone in dealing with their day-to-day challenges. Little things that may seem easy or straight-forward to us may be a major issue for a young person with little or no experience. Mentors can be an experienced friend who is there to help and guide them through life.
