We give thanks to God as the Creator, owner and sustainer of this Land. We honour the Indigenous People who have tended and cared for it.

We acknowledge that we meet on the traditional lands of the Wadawurrung people. They are the first people to have lived in this region and the custodians of this area.

We pay our respects to the leaders past, present and emerging and extend that respect to other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders who are present.

We ask Jesus’ blessing on all who continue to work for the healing and restoration of this Land and our Communities across Australia.
