Fifty six men lunched at the refurbished Noosa Yacht and Rowing Club last Thursday in the first informal lunch this year.
The guest speaker was the new Rector, The Rev’d Chris Johnson who was appointed to the Anglican Church of Noosa on 1 July 2020.
Due to the Covid restrictions he was unable to conduct services at the three centres of the parish – St. Andrew’s, Sunshine Beach, St. Mary’s Tewantin or at St. Andrew’s Anglican College, Peregian Springs.
Both he and his wife, The Rev’d Lynda Johnson, Associate Minister, ran online services for many weeks before restrictions were eased and normal services resumed with restricted numbers.
The Rev’d Johnson was born in Brisbane and after completing primary and secondary years he completed his Bachelor of Business at QIT (now Queensland University of Technology).
He worked as a youth officer before joining ANZ Bank. He also worked in Esanda Limited a subsidiary of the bank. He attended Ridley College, Melbourne to study for the ministry.
He and his wife are reaching out to the Noosa community encouraging young families and supporting the needy and the School Chaplains in the State Primary Schools in Tewantin, Noosaville and at Sunshine Beach.
