On Friday night, 9 May 2026, young people from across the Greater Sydney Conference filled Blacktown Seventh-day Adventist Church with worship, praise and a deep desire to connect with God and one another. What took place that evening was far more than a program—it was a powerful reminder of what happens when a generation comes together with one heart to seek Jesus.
Young people from across Greater Sydney gathered for an All In worship night focused on faith, unity, community and living water.
Organised by the Western Youth Region, the evening brought youth from Western Sydney and beyond together in a shared expression of faith, unity and worship.
The church was overflowing with young people. As more arrived, every available space was taken, and at one point many were sitting on the floor just to be part of what God was doing. There was a sense that this was not just another gathering, but a sacred moment of unity across churches, friendships and backgrounds.
Young people from Bidwill Tongan Seventh-day Adventist Church led worship. Their music carried a deep sincerity that drew the crowd into a shared experience of praise. Voices joined together, and the church became a place of genuine worship where hearts were lifted beyond distractions and into the presence of God. The evening was also enriched with special items of worship that were presented by young people from Hoxton Park Seventh-day Adventist Church and Wetherill Park Seventh-day Adventist Church, adding personal expressions of faith and unity.
The message for the night was brought by Sam Letty, who challenged every young person with a confronting and personal question: “Which cup are you drinking from?” Drawing from the story of the Samaritan woman, he reminded everyone that the world offers many cups that promise satisfaction, but only Jesus offers living water that truly satisfies the soul. His message strongly aligned with the theme, All In, calling young people to a deeper level of commitment and surrender.
One of the most powerful moments came as the evening closed in prayer. Young people knelt together across the church, seeking God with honesty and humility. It was a clear picture that spirituality is the centre of life.
The night ended with a warm social gathering on the lawn behind the church, where fire pits, food and conversation brought everyone together. In the cool Sydney autumn air, young people deepened friendships and formed new connections.
Looking ahead, the next gathering will be on 13 June for the Youth Rally and Sports Competition. In the middle of busy lives, may we continue to make space for faith, community, and encounters with God.
