Volunteer

There are many opportunities within and outside of the LSF Victoria community to volunteer your time and skills. Some of these are mentioned below.

For more information on these or other opportunities, please contact us (select “Volunteering/Getting involved” from the drop-down menu).

For worship services

Sunday Night At St John's (SNAS) is an evening worship service hosted by LSF Victoria and held at St John's Lutheran Church Southgate, in Melbourne. SNAS relies on volunteers for the running of its services.

Current SNAS volunteer roles available include:

Bible readers

Read aloud the set bible readings (usually two).

Communion and candles assistants

Light and extinguish the altar candles, and prepare and assist with the distribution of Holy Communion.

Data projector operators

Set up and operate a PowerPoint presentation on a laptop and data projector.

Musicians

Play or sing to lead the songs and/or hymns.
Each musician is part of a music team (a band).

Prayer leaders

Prepare and lead the Prayer of the Church.

Supper assistants

Prepare and serve supper after worship services, and clean up afterwards.
Each supper assistant is part of a supper team.

Ushers

Welcome worshippers as they arrive and collect free-will offerings.

Each of these roles is organised by a weekly roster. SNAS volunteers nominate how often they wish to be on the roster (e.g. once per month) and for which role(s).

For more information or to suggest another way you'd like to volunteer for SNAS services, please contact us (select “Sunday Night At St John's (SNAS)” from the drop-down menu).

On the Committee for Tertiary Ministry

The Committee for Tertiary Ministry (CTM) is made up of young and older volunteers who oversee and provide direction for LSF Victoria. Most of the positions on the Committee have a one-year term, meaning that once a year (usually in May) there are often opportunities for new volunteers to join the Committee.

For more information about the Committee and its committee positions, please see the link below.
