Australia Day
Margaret Mickan has been a valuable member with the Top End Lutheran congregation for many years both worshipping and being involved in a myriad of church and congregational activities.
The Australia Day Honours List which was released recently included Margaret Mickan! She was awarded the 'Medal of the Order of Australia' (OAM) "For service to the Indigenous communities of the Northern Territory and the Kimberley". Of course, we know that service was centred around the translation of Scripture into Kriol but has included many other things. 'NT News' also included her as one of the Territorians on the Honours List.
We're sure we speak for all of us when we say: "Congratulations Margaret, and 'well done, thou good and faithful servant'. It is an honour that is thoroughly deserved!"
Australia Day
What does Australia day mean to you?
How do you celebrate Australia Day?
Below is an exsert from the LCA sermon’s page
On an anniversary such as we are celebrating this weekend we need to acknowledge and thank God for everything that makes Australia what it is. We need to point out to others the blessings that God has showered on us so that people of all generations will know what God has done to make Australia what it is today and so give him all thanks.
Let’s pray. God of Australia, you have loved this ancient land long before human eye explored it. On this Australia Day we offer our praise. We bring you our gratitude for the diversity and wealth of this land and its people; for its weathered old mountains, fertile valleys, and vast plains; for its riches of mine and agriculture, forest and grazing land; for the first Australians, who know and love this continent with an intimate, profound sensitivity; for the courage, vision and sacrifice of early settlers; for the diverse races who now call Australia home. For these and all your gifts we offer you, O Lord, our joyful thankful hearts. Amen.(2)
