Reformation at Geelong

Geelong Lutheran Congregations gather to celebrate the Reformation

Just over 160 of the faithful gathered at Araluen Lutheran Camp on Sunday to celebrate and give thanks for the Reformation.

The St John’s Lutheran Church band played beautifully, children from our congregations read the Bible Readings and the service was led by Pastors Boyd Briese, David Spike and James Ruei.

A highlight was the South Sudanese choir!

At the conclusion of the service, Cheryl Bartel updated the gathering on the possibilities from the Future Directions Working Party who have crafted three possible options for the future structure of the Lutheran Church in Greater Geelong. This group have taken the feedback from the 20 May meeting earlier in the year where the future possibilities and opportunities were discussed in an open forum.

Lunch was enjoyed by all, thanks to the outstanding catering by Darren and Kerry Linke at Araluen.
