Wodonga Lutheran Parish Manse Blessing
On Sunday 9th June, it was with great joy that members of the Wodonga Lutheran Parish gathered at 5 Cattanach Way, Leneva for the blessing of the new manse by Pastor Joshua Muller.
The manse was professionally built by Alatalo Bros with funds received from the sale of St Mark’s Church, Yackandandah, in 2022.
This is the first of two major projects for the Wodonga Lutheran Parish scheduled for completion in 2024. The new manse was much needed after the closing of the church in 2023 and subsequent sale of land on which the previous manse was situated in Havelock Street Wodonga. The second project is a beautiful new church to be situated on the grounds of Victory Lutheran College. The large worship centre, due for opening in the coming months, is being funded from the sale of the land and profits from future site development and generous support by John Alatalo’s building company.
The manse is situated in the new suburb of Leneva and is 7km, or a quick 10-minute drive, from the new church on Derwent Way in West Wodonga.
The manse features an all-electric 7-star energy rated home that is complete with double glazing on all windows, an open plan family area, as well as four bedrooms, a separate lounge, double garage, and an alfresco area off the dining room.
We give thanks to God for the delivery of this beautiful new home. May it be a peaceful place to be enjoyed by our present Pastor Joshua Muller, and for those who may come in the future.
