Vacancy Prayer
Heavenly Father, we give you thanks for our churches and our communities, we give you thanks for the privilege of being involved in ministry in this place with you and for you.
As this vacancy begins, guard and grow this Benefice as we serve you together.
We know that you have plans for us and that these plans are good. We pray that you will help us to share responsibility, grow in faith, love one another, care for those in need, reach out to others, and welcome newcomers.
By your Spirit, guide those involved in the process, and those who are seeking the right place for their ministry, that together we may discover your way for the future and see your kingdom grow.
Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
