The Australian General Conference 2014 of the Church of God (Seventh Day) was held on January 15-20, 2014 at the city of Swan Hill in rural Victoria. The theme of the conference was “Let Your Light Shine”. The conference was a great success, with attendees from right across Australia, and while attendance was lower than expected because of an extreme heat wave that resulted in dozens of bush fires (wild fires) right across Australia, those who were able to get there really enjoyed the worship, fellowship and time spent planning and sharing the vision for outreach in the years ahead.
Sermons were shared by Phil Kordahi, David Kidd and John Klassek. Sightseeing included a visit to a local aviation museum, a planetarium and a river cruise on the mighty Murray River. Other activities included a games night, family barbeque, Sabbath evening dinner, as well as several Bible studies. Calvin Burrell sent greetings via a pre-recorded video message which was played on Sabbath. During the Sabbath service, John Klassek was ordained as an elder. All who attended remarked at the warmth and friendliness of our time together at Swan Hill.
