Synod Saturday was a busy but productive one. On Saturday morning, Bishop Mark Vainikka reflected on his written report. He said the Convention’s theme of Open Door to Spiritual Renewal reflected on baptism and was an important and right theme.'Luther reminds us that baptism is a daily occurrence,' Bishop Mark said. 'Renewal begins with Christ, it begins with repentance, it begins at the font, it begins with the Holy Spirit.'There were reports from the District Church Board, the Commission for Mission, Lutheran Women of Qld and LLL Australia, who also recognised three congregations this year for the 2026 Mission Outreach Grant: ✅ St Marks Lutheran Church, Caloundra: for an intergenerational outreach project;✅ St Paul’s Lutheran Church, Caboolture: for a community coffee ministry; and✅ Immanuel Lutheran Church, Buderim: for a community playgroup. LLL CEO Karen Pienaar also announced the winners of the LLL Synod Art Competition.The day ended with a number of submitted proposals, elections and finance reports. Thanks were offered to everyone who helped make the 2026 Convention of Synod a success, including our wonderful volunteers, and to those who have concluded their service to DCB and its councils. Blessings were offered to newly appointed council members. Finally, St Andrews Lutheran College Principal Luke Schoff, along with College staff and volunteers, were thanked for the College’s significant contribution to the successful preparation and running of Convention!We meet on Sunday for worship at St Andrews Lutheran Church Tallebudgera before heading home!#lcaqdsynod2026 ...

Friday afternoon at Synod saw First Assistant Bishop Ben Hentschke and District Transformation Committee Chair John Hoffman updating delegates on the Governance Change Program (GCP), which was endorsed at Convention of the Synod in 2022. This was followed by reports from LCAQD Departments and Churchwide entities. Two new pastors were welcomed into the District: Rev James Leach (St Paul’s Lutheran Church, Caboolture), and Rev Stephen Hibbard (Cleveland Lutheran Parish). And we said goodbye to LEQ Executive Director Tanya Crooks who is retiring this year, and LYQ Executive Director Darren Pope, who has accepted a position with LLL Australia.The day ended with dinner in the ballroom at the Surfers Paradise Golf Club, where delegates heard insights into the St Andrews journey from Principal of St Andrews Lutheran College Mr Luke Schoff, joined by St Andrews’ founding Principal, Mr Wolf Stuetzel (1992–1999). The conversation was facilitated by Lutheran Education Australia Executive Director, Ms Jodie Hoff. A painting donated by last year's LLL Synod Art Competition Open Category winner Aretha Christie was auctioned, raising over $2,000 for the United in Hope Appeal.Please enjoy these images from Friday afternoon and evening at the Synod.#lcaqdsynod2026 ...
