Kiama Presbyterian Church is taking part in a unique community event, the Prayer Paddleout, on Saturday 8 March from 9:00AM to 10:00AM at Wollongong Harbour.

The all ages gathering invites people to come together in prayer, either from the shore or on the water. Participants are encouraged to bring a board and paddle out, with Christian Surfers patrolling for water safety. Those paddling will need to register and are asked to arrive early with a signup form to do so.

The Combined Churches event is part of the lead-up to Hope for the Illawarra, a two-day gathering at the WIN Entertainment Centre on 28 and 29 of March. With uplifting music and motivational speakers, the event will focus on messages of faith, encouragement, and hope. 

For those looking for a peaceful way to connect with faith and community, the Prayer Paddleout offers a special opportunity to reflect and pray in an iconic Illawarra location.
