30 Days | 30 Voices | One Church in Prayer

From Pentecost Sunday on 24 May to the 49th Anniversary of the Uniting Church in Australia on 22 June, we are embarking on a shared season of national prayer.

Over these thirty days, thirty voices from across the Church will come together. Each day, a new voice will lead us in praying as one body around a single, unifying question: “What does it mean to be woven together in Christ's love across cultures and boundaries?”

Mark your diaries, share this initiative with your congregation, and journey with us in prayer. If you would like the daily prayer delivered to your inbox, subscribe here for Uniting in Prayer updates.

President's welcome and guide

Uniting in Prayer is an invitation for the whole Church to slow down, listen deeply to God, and reconnect with one another across cultures, communities and distances.

President Rev Charissa Suli would like to welcome you to the month of prayer and reflection, download the guide to be part of Uniting in Prayer 2026.

Online gathering

To conclude this year's Uniting in Prayer, Rev Charissa Suli warmly invites members and leaders to gather online on Monday 22 June for an evening of prayer and celebration as we give thanks for God’s faithfulness and mark the 49th Anniversary of the Uniting Church in Australia.

Register here for the event. 

National Prayer Chain

The national prayer chain is one of the most significant parts of the Uniting in Prayer event, connecting every part of the Uniting Church - local communities, agencies, schools, and councils - to each other in prayer through the 35 days.

Your home community or other part of the Uniting Church is being invited to pray for two other Uniting Church communities and there will be communities holding yours in prayer.
