Acknowledgement of Country

We acknowledge the Wodiwodi people, of the Dharawal Nation, as the traditional custodians of the land on which we gather to worship at the Dapto Uniting Church. Their connection to this country spans generations, and we pay our respects to their elders past, present, and emerging.

As we come together in this sacred space, we honor the rich cultural heritage, wisdom, and resilience of the Wodiwodi people. We recognize their ongoing spiritual connection to the land, waters, and skies of the Illawarra region.

May we walk together in harmony, learning from the stories embedded in this ancient landscape, and fostering a deeper understanding of our shared history.

Please be aware that our website may contain materials honoring individuals who have passed away, such as photographs, videos, or recordings. We handle these artifacts with the utmost sensitivity and reverence.
