2 We Gather The mercy of God flows through the land on which we gather today, let us pause in silence and acknowledge the traditional owners who have cared for this land for generations. Let us honour those elders past, present and emerging whose sacred connection with this country is a gift to us all.  Today we also pay respect to those Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander soldiers who lost their lives in the First World War- those known to us by name and those whose heritage was unknown.

3 Australians and New Zealanders remember and honour those who fought and died for freedom. We gather not to glorify war but to remember those who have served our country during times of crisis and to reflect upon their selfless sacrifice. Conscious that there are many men and women around the world still working for peace, we hold fast to the powerful hope that peace can exist today. Let us begin in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.

4 Opening Prayer All: God of Hope, in this season of Easter we rejoice in the New Life the Risen Jesus gives us, offering hope and peace. Today, as we remember the ANZAC soldiers who fought to protect our country, help us to be instruments of your peace. We make our prayer in the name of the Risen Jesus. Amen.
