About the event

Join our Prayer Vigil on November 3-4!

"Vigil" evokes powerful imagery - from late-night prayer to soldiers standing guard, even families eagerly awaiting a birth. Derived from the Latin word "vigilia" for a soldier's night watch, early Christians adopted it for their nighttime worship gatherings. In the New Testament under Roman rule, the night was divided into four watches:

• First watch: Evening (sunset to 9pm)

• Second watch: Midnight (9pm to midnight)

• Third watch: Rooster crowing (midnight to 3am)

• Fourth watch: Morning (3am to 6am)

Mark 13:35-37 reminds us: "Therefore keep watch... at evening (first watch), at midnight (second watch), when the rooster crows (third watch), or at dawn. If he comes suddenly, do not let him find you sleeping. What I say to you, I say to everyone: ‘Watch!’”. On the 3rd and 4th of November we’ll be keeping the second and third watches of the night. Sign up sheets are available today.

Acknowledgement Of Country

Gymea Anglican Church acknowledges the triune God, the Creator of heaven and earth and His ownership of all things (Psalm 24:1). We recognise that He gave stewardship of these lands upon which we meet to the First Nations Peoples of this country (Acts 11:26). In His sovereignty, He has allowed other people groups to migrate to these shores. We acknowledge the cultures of our First Nations Peoples and are thankful for the community that we share together now. We pay our respects to Dharawal speaking people who are the traditional custodians of the area now called Gymea, and their elders leaders, both past and present, and those who are rising up to become leaders. We pay our respect to all First Nations People and pray for God’s blessing on all Australians as we seek reconciliation and justice.
