As we gather, we acknowledge the Wurundjeri and Bunurong people, as those appointed by God as the traditional custodians of this land. We pay our respect to Elders, past and present, of the Kulin nation, for the way they have stewarded the Lord’s good creation. We extend that respect to all indigenous people past and present, and those future generations – who we pray will continue this task, trusting that our Creator will continue reconciling all things to himself in Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour.
