Faithful God, During this vacancy,guard and grow our benefice
as we serve you together.
Help us to share responsibility, grow in faith,
love one another, care for those in need, reach out to others, and welcome newcomers and visitors.
Fill us with vision and joy and keep us faithful in prayer, word and worship. Sustain those in interim leadership; give wisdom to those involved in the process of appointing the new vicar; and prepare the heart of the right person.
Ever-living God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, may we see your kingdom come here in our parishes to the glory of your name. Amen.
