new years day sunrise prayer relay 2016
batemans bay - NSW - Australia

Just to let you know that the New Years Day Sunrise Prayer was held on the beautiful Batemans Bay waterfront from 5.30am to 6am.

Eight people attended from five churches including the Catholic Church.

We began by remembering the Christian witness onboard the First Fleet that passed only a few miles offshore from where we stood over two hundred years ago, and giving thanks for the great Christian blessing it was to bestow on the new land.

It ended with our singing The Great Southland of the Holy Spirit.

Thank you for the opportunity to declare Jesus is Lord in such a public and communal way, and to dedicate 2016 to Jesus for his glory.

It was a great way to start the New Year.
