As we prepare for the retirement of Revd Nick our Vicar in February 2025, it is really important that, as we approach our time of interregnum, we pray regularly for our Church and for the appointment of our new Vicar. Also for Nick and Christine as they prepare for the next chapter of their lives.

GOD OUR FATHER

You have welcomed each one of us in Jesus and called us to be His Body in this place;

Send us your Holy Spirit, at this time of uncertainty and change, to fill us with vision, energy, and faithfulness in prayer, that we may be true to our calling to bring new life to our community. Guide with your heavenly wisdom those who are to choose a new Incumbent for our parish, that the person whom we receive may be a wise and gentle shepherd of your people: ready to serve us with joy, to build us up in faith, and to lead us by example in loving obedience to your son, our Saviour, Jesus Christ.

Amen
