A night of fun, fellowship, and fundraising was enjoyed by a record number of attendees at this year's Blueprint Dinner at the Mawson Lakes Hotel & Function Centre, South Australia.
LLL was proud to be Major Sponsor of the wonderful event that raised vital funds in support of the important work that Blueprint Ministries does with young people and families on their faith journeys.
Guests enjoyed a three-course meal, live music, a trivia quiz, and had the opportunity to take part in a silent auction and raffle for a range of great items, as well as a wine wall that was so popular it sold out well before the end of proceedings.

Missional partnership
"Our dinner came together really well," Blueprint Team Leader Jeanette Mann said.
"To know that the support is there, even people who couldn't be there on the night, is really encouraging.
"This is a very important event for us because it not only raises funds, but it raises awareness as well.
"What I love is the inter-generational nature that we have our young adults that come along and support it, but we also have mums and dads of young adults.
"We feel our Blueprint Dinner helps a lot in building connections between people.
"And we really appreciate the relationship and support we have with LLL, which is important when organising an event like this."

Heartfelt example
Camp Director Emma also gave a beautiful account of what her involvement with Blueprint as a camp attendee, and later in a leadership role, has meant to her.
LLL Chief Relationship Officer Scott, and team members Heather, Katherine, Adam, Abby, Dorothy, Jason, and Heidi, were delighted to attend in support of our missional partnership with Blueprint.
"When I think about youth ministry it gets a bit emotional for me because I do feel this is where people's faith journeys begin," Scott said in his address to the gathering.
"When Emma spoke and thanked LLL for our support I thought that was a really heartfelt example of us advancing Gospel-centred mission and ministry.
"I feel an overwhelming sense of pride and emotion when I think about the effect we can have on young people through our support of youth ministry."
Scott added that LLL's support of Blueprint Ministries is a powerful example of the positive impact our customers enable when they invest with us.
"By the end of this year, thanks to the generous investments of our customers, we will have supported Blueprint Ministries to a total of $198,000, which is amazing," he said.
"And I can see where that's going, I can see the value that support is delivering, and I'm very proud that LLL can play a part in youth ministry."
