First of all, we acknowledge You, Lord Jesus

You are the creator, provider, and supreme owner of all things.

 

"The earth is the LORD’s, and all its fullness, The world and those who dwell therein. For He has founded it upon the seas, And established it upon the waters."   Psalms 24:1-2 NKJV

 

 

We also respectfully acknowledge the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who are traditional custodians of the land.   We pay tribute to elders past and present and acknowledge that they have cared for this country over countless generations.  We recognize the continuing contribution that the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people make to the life of Australia and pray that we can work together to leave a legacy of reconciliation, justice, and hope for all future Australians.
