For the Heart of Adelaide
We are called to be a transformative community following Jesus, embodying the love and grace of God and seeking abundant life for all.
we stand together.
We stand in solidarity with the Jewish community in Bondi, and with all those who have been wounded, bereaved, and traumatised by the violence that occurred as people gathered to celebrate the beginning of Chanukah, the festival of lights.
What should have been a moment of joy and remembrance was shattered by terror. We grieve with those whose lives have been forever changed, and we hold in prayer the families and loved ones who are carrying deep sorrow. We pray for healing for the injured, strength for first responders, and comfort for all who are shaken by this violence.
Violence and antisemitism have no place in our communities. We commit ourselves to standing alongside our Jewish neighbours — in grief, in solidarity, and in the ongoing work of justice and peace.
May the light of Chanukah shine in the darkness. May God’s presence be near to all who mourn, and may hope be stronger than fear.
We stand together.

Acknowledgment OF country
We acknowledge that this church is situated adjacent to Tarntanyangga (Victoria Square), the site of ceremony and ritual. A significant meeting place both in the past and in the present for the Kaurna people, the traditional custodians of the Adelaide Plains. We pay respect to Kaurna Elders: past, present and emerging. We are awed that they celebrate the religious significance of place, plant and all living creatures, and that care for the earth is implanted in their law. We delight in the sacred in our midst and pray that, in the power of the Holy Spirit, we might work together for reconciliation and justice in this land.
