5a Gilbert St, Lyndoch SA. – 18th July 2025 is the closing date of the Op Shop at this address.
The Op Shop is to be relocated to the Holy Trinity Anglican Church Hall and a ‘Change of Use’ application has been completed to recommence the Op Shop in the Hall, located on the corner of Altona Road and Sturt Highway, Lyndoch. The Parish Council has supported the reopening of the Op Shop and planning is underway for a January 2026 start.
Volunteers are welcome in a supported environment to assist with the preparation and sale of recycled clothing and goods, which assists Barossa Anglicans to support outreach and community projects.

Community Development
Anglican Parish of the Barossa
The Domestic and Family Violence service has been discontinued due to unforeseen circumstances.
The Parish wishes to continue to assist with Community Development opportunities, please contact Pru Blackwell, Parish Co-ordinator, on 0427 701 028 for further information.
Domestic Violence Prayer and Support Group.
The Prayer Group has recommenced on the last Wednesday of the month at 10.30 am at St Aidan’s Anglican Church on the corner of Murray and Fiedler Streets, Tanunda. This Group is meeting monthly to support all the counsellors in the family and domestic violence service. Please contact Pru Blackwell, Parish Co-ordinator, on 0427 701 028 for further information.
The aim of this Group is to support our Parish’s Community Development work as an expression of our faith by caring for others as commanded by our Lord.
Faith without action is an empty bowl which offers nothing. Faith enacted is a bowl which overflows despite being depleted by need, as it is continually refilled by the faithful.
For us as Christians our primary response of support should be PRAYER, through which we seek God’s blessing and his will/direction in this, rather than our own preferences and God’s strengthening for those working directly with the Program’s clients.
Whilst doing so we need to remember God’s ways do not resemble our own.
Besides prayer there will also be many practical ways the Parish may support Community Programs, which are likely to be intermittent or one-off acts of service that we can plan for ahead of time.
I pray you will want to join me in this.
