Lent is a very important time in our Church’s annual calendar.
It provides us as Christians with an opportunity to reflect on what Christ has done for us through His death and resurrection, as well as on what we can do to help others.
The Lutheran Community Care Lenten Appeal provides an opportunity for all of us to make a positive difference to those in need. Our Lenten sacrifice may be relatively small in comparison to that of Christ, but it can nevertheless bring much joy to those who will be helped by it.
This year the Lenten Appeal donations will be used within the Queensland community to make a positive difference to our residents’ and clients’ lives. The following projects and activities have been identified as the special priorities for this year.

Youth breakfasts and family fun days
Young people and families can be very vulnerable in today’s fast and competitive society. LCC is supporting some of the most vulnerable young people and families with appropriate activities. Our youth breakfasts in disadvantaged schools and family fun days which bring fragmented families together in a safe and positive environment, are making a practical difference.
Your gift will enable us to continue and these successful events.

| Hospital chaplaincy
LCC’s volunteer chaplains provide comfort to hundreds of hospital patients and their families every year. A hospital admission is often a time of great distress and uncertainty for all affected; but a chaplain can help people find the strength they need to face these challenges.
Your gift will assist us to meet the costs of training five more hospital chaplains.

| Mary & Martha’s refuge
Our refuge helps women and their children who have been affected by family or domestic violence.
Donations of funds assists the refuge to provide the extras that cannot be provided through our government funding – this includes items for the children’s toy room, welcome packs for families when they first arrive and may have very little with them, and assistance for familiesto move on from the refuge. By providing funds rather than goods the women are able to make their own choices about what they need.

Almost 1,000 Queenslanders live in LCC’s residential aged care services. We would like to be able to provide our residents with a wide range of interesting activities to support their ability to remain as mentally engaged and socially active as possible.
