Congratulations to Australia Day 2026 Honours List Recipients
We give thanks to God for the following recipients of the Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM), and for their faithful service to the church, their communities, and the wider Australian public:

- Margaret Mickan (Trinity, Pasadena) for her service to Indigenous communities in the Northern Territory and the Kimberley.

We give thanks for all Australians recognised in this year’s Honours list.
Does your congregation or parish have a program that is reaching out to those within or outside of the church community? Or has your church ever had a brilliant mission idea, but the cost was too high to get it off the ground?
The SA-NT District Mission Team is here to help and offers several grants each year to support our congregations and parishes.
2025 congregation statistics due by 28 February!
Statistics will need to be entered into LAMP2 directly. If you cannot access LAMP2, please contact LCA IT for assistance, 08 8267 7380 or itsupport@lca.org.au.
