“As not just our shire, but communities throughout Australia, continue to be in the grip of this horrendous prolonged drought, we ask the community to join us in praying for rain and for those whose livelihoods are impacted by this,” Gunnedah shire mayor Jamie Chaffey said.
“Many of our own are struggling with the effects of drought, whether that be people on the land, or businesses hurt by the flow-on effect.
“Our community has shown great resilience in the face of adversity in the past, which gives us great hope for the future.”
The Prayer for Drought will be supported by Gunnedah Ministers’ Fraternal.
“Certain times in our lives cause us to realise we don’t have all the answers to life. Our present ongoing drought is one of those times," fraternal president Scott Dunlop said.
"It’s important to humble ourselves and gather as a community, and ask for God’s mercy on us."
