As we gather in the presence of God, we acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we meet, paying our respect to their Elders past and present and extending that respect to any Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people present with us. In his wisdom and love, our Heavenly Father gave this land to the Gadigal people of the Eora nation. On this land, they met for generations before the coming of British settlers. As we now live together on these lands, we pray that God would unite us all in a knowledge of his Son, Jesus Christ, in whom and for whom all things were created.
