For Our Elders, 2023 Prayer Service
You are invited to join us at our 2023 NAIDOC Week Prayer Service, held in collaboration with local Aboriginal and faith communities. The prayer service will include an official Welcome to Country with Aunty Sandra Griffin, Awabakal Country. Attendees will also have the opportunity to hear from local Elders, including Canon Aunty Dianne Langham who will lead us through a special reflection. A special water ceremony will take place. Guests are encouraged to bring a small container of water from Country with them. Gather from 1:30pm with refreshments before the commencement of the service at 2pm. On conclusion, damper and soup will be available for all.

Welcome to NAIDOC.

We acknowledge all First Peoples of the beautiful lands on which we live and celebrate their enduring knowledge and connections to Country. We honour the wisdom of and pay respect to Elders past and present.
