District Church Council meets with East Metro leadership
On Saturday 6th August, District Church Council and 24 leaders from Eastern Zone Lutheran congregations and parishes met at Good Shepherd Ringwood, to hear from each other about their congregation’s:
- Blessings
- Challenges; and
- Opportunities
As often happens at these annual District Church Council visits across the District, some have the same challenges, and others have often experienced or experimented with solutions to just that issue. So, it is unsurprising that there were lots of enthusiastic questions and discussions. Interestingly participants were keen to share contact details so they could follow up shared interests and activity in the future.
Chair of District Church Council David Bergmann said it was wonderful to hear first-hand from congregations & parish leaders from:
Greensborough, Outer Eastern, Doncaster-Ivanhoe, St Paul’s Box Hill, Chinese Lutheran Church, Nunawading-Waverley, Ringwood-Knox, Moorabbin-Dandenong, Gippsland Parish, Bethlehem Rosebud, and Pakenham Lakeside Church.
