The Noosa Lutheran community celebrated a very special rite on Sunday 10 January at their property on Eumundi Road in Noosaville. The facilities at this site, shared by the Good Shepherd Lutheran Church and Good Shepherd Lutheran College, continue to grow from the humble congregation and school which started there in 1986.
The multi-purpose Lutheran Hall on the site was opened in 1991 and has been used extensively by the church, college and the Noosa community over the last three decades. It will now be extended to provide further facilities.
The Ground Breaking Blessing recently conducted by Pastor Mark Hansen, marks the beginning of construction of a complex of facilities which will be jointly used by the church and the college for their operation. For the congregation the focus will be on a new, purpose-built, worship area adjoining the current hall, as well as offices and a meeting room. The college is looking forward to the facilities providing new and enhanced spaces that will support a wide range of existing and new activities. This joint venture project is planned to be completed well before the end of the year. NCM Constructions was the successful tenderer and they have already started work on the site.
