News from Tandara
Announcements
The Trinity View is available today
Over the past 12 months there have been some big
changes at Tandara. The intern program started in 2014.
It has been a great benefit to Tandara as a camp and also
the people of the wider Victorian/Tasmanian District. The
job of managing the camp has become a much bigger
workload. Therefore in 2015 James and Judi Doecke
were also welcomed in part-time roles. From Darren Linke
Please pick up your copy from the tables in the hall. Please remember to do this so we
can save on postage and extra work for our volunteers.
New Holy Trinity Address Books Available
Contact the church office or pick up a copy from the box on the table in the hall. You
are being asked to contribute $5 to cover the cost of producing the book. Most people
find these very helpful, to contact other members easily or pray for them
Lutheran Men of Victoria 2015 Retreat
New Staff
Josh Tedham
I was born in Millicent. South Australia, went to Millicent
High School and St Martin’s Lutheran College. My
interests include video games, reading, clay sculpting,
bird watching and palaeontology (study of fossils).
I applied for the internship because I thought it would be a
great opportunity to help me grow in confidence around
others, gain more fitness and grow more spiritually.
James Ker
I am the son of the pastor at Warrnambool.
My greatest passion is computers. I love their logical
complexity. I also find the internet to be one of
mankind’s most fascinating creations. The biggest
challenge for me at Tandara has been dealing with so
many people. I’m not very comfortable around others,
but as they say life’s no fun if you never leave your
comfort zone so I’ve been welcoming the opportunities.
James & Judi Doecke
James was LCA Director for Lay Ministry,
then Interim Manager at Warrambui Retreat
and Conference Centre. They planned to
travel Australia in their caravan but after a
few months God challenged them with the
position at Tandara. They accepted after
many prayers and discussions.

Projects that are designed to especially help people who are migrants, needy, and
lonely. It also supports the Hospital and Aged Care Chaplaincies as well as the African
Community Development. See the brochure for donation options.
Journey with Jesus to the Cross
28, 29 & 30 March
You are being offered an opportunity to strengthen
your faith in the Saviour who died for you through
reflection, meditation and prayer as you follow his
steps from the Upper Room to Calvary and the
Open Tomb through interactive displays in the
Education Centre. Open each day from 9.30am to 4
– no cost. You may spend as much time as you
need at each stopping place. Put this on your
calendar now and take advantage of this
opportunity.
A Reminder
Good 2nd hand clothes are needed for the Dimboola Bargain Centre. If you have some
that are clean and ready to go, mark them as such and leave them on the stage in the
hall.

Bishop John Henderson challenges us to listen. We might be surprised at what we
hear. Listen to the story, or read the transcript. Also look at the story on Prayer. We
do not all pray the same way and each of us finds some styles of prayer easier to
practice than others.
