Why Eternity Sunday?

Eternity is a word which provokes thoughtful responses. Does eternity exist? Is it even a thing? If it exists, what happens when I die? What is my eternal future – heaven or hell?

Started by the co-founder of Eternity newspaper, David Maegraith in 2024, Eternity Sunday is a chance for churches, schools, organisations and individuals to connect with their local community by chalking Eternity on their property and starting a conversation. Register here to get involved in Eternity Sunday 2025.

Arthur Stace had eternity in his heart

For 30 years, from the 1930s to the 1960s, ‘Eternity’ was written in beautiful copperplate script with yellow chalk on the pavements of Sydney, country New South Wales, Newcastle and Melbourne.

It took just one man, Arthur Stace, ‘Mr Eternity’, an underclass battler, former drunk and criminal to inspire an entire city. Arthur’s story is an Australian story and one we all need to read.

You can discover the true story of this unlikely Australian icon in Mr Eternity: The Story of Arthur Stace. Written by award-winning Australian author Roy Williams with Elizabeth Meyers, whose parents were close friends of Arthur Stace, Mr Eternity includes photos and letters made public for the first time, as well as intriguing stories about the life of this inspiring man.
