Ordination of Pastor Sue Westhorp

Sunday 27 April was a day of celebration as Sue Westhorp was ordained as a Pastor of the LCANZ by Bishop Paul Smith.

Assisting Bishop Paul were Pastors Neville Otto (St Paul’s Box Hill), Brett Kennett (LCA Vic-Tas District Pastor for Congregational Support), John Henderson (Em, previous LCA Bishop), and Basil Schild (Chaplain at Yirara College, NT).

A joy-filled and very musical worship service at Luther College, Croydon Hills, was attended by over 500 people, followed by a generous afternoon tea supplied by St Paul’s Box Hill members, with fellowship, greetings and speeches.

Pastor Sue has been assigned to St Paul’s Box Hill, and will be installed as their second Pastor on Sunday 18 May.
