Comments
The former St Paul's Lutheran Church, Woorak (Glenlee) has now closed, the final service being held on 27/3/2022. The church began in NI NI in 1877 (see separate entry - 3418). The church has been ministering in the local community for about 145 years. Lutheran services began in private homes, before the first wooden church building was opened in 1880 and the second, the present church building in February 1889. More historical information/photographs of the former church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 15/1/2023.
Location: Nhill-Jeparit Rd, Glenlee near cnr with Creek Rd.
