The World Day of Prayer is a worldwide Christian movement led by women, bringing people together in prayer and action for peace and justice in communities across the globe. Each year, people in more than 170 countries gather on the same day to share worship, reflection and a spirit of unity.
The Temple Society Australia is proud to host the 2026 World Day of Prayer service on Friday, 6 March 2026 at 10.30am, at 152 Tucker Road, Bentleigh. The service will feature the McKinnon Secondary Senior Singers and is supported locally by 14 churches, making it a meaningful expression of ecumenical connection within our community.
Everyone is warmly invited to attend and take part in this long-standing tradition of prayer, reflection and solidarity.
The 2026 service centres on the theme “I Will Give You Rest: Come” (Matthew 11:28–30), with Nigeria as the focus country. Through prayer, music and shared stories, participants are invited to reflect on faith, resilience and hope, while learning more about the lives and experiences of women in Nigeria.

In 2013, the monthly Templer Talk took on the role of community newsletter, while Templer Reflections became the vehicle for thoughtful, perceptive writings on a multitude of topics, including many from a faith and spiritual perspective.
Over the years, we've published 36 issues. In this special edition, Mark Herrmann has curated a selection of contributions from these past issues. The wealth of thoughtful words and interesting topics is so abundant that our special edition is presented in two volumes, reflecting the richness of our community's discussions and insights.
Happy reading!
