As we begin our clergy vacancy 

May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father who loved us encourage our hearts and strengthen us in every good word and deed. 

Grant wisdom to wardens, clergy and lay assistants who take on extra responsibilities –

and vision to our Bishop, Archdeacon, Area Dean and Team representatives as they prayerfully consult and advise in recognising our next Team Rector.   

We pray through our Saviour Jesus who first called us to his service. Amen.
