Ordination of Deacons, Sunday 2 July, 10.30am

for 2 hours
Guildford Cathedral
Stag Hill Guildford, GU2 7UP, United Kingdom
From its earliest days, the Church has set individuals apart for particular ministries. Through prayer and the laying-on of hands by the bishop, the Church authorizes and equips new deacons to serve the Church and the world, to call God’s people to repentance, to proclaim the gospel through preaching and service. Because we recognize that human strength is insufficient the ordination is
preceded by prayer that the Holy Spirit will fill the candidates with grace and power to fulfil the ministry to which God has called each one of them.

We offer a warm welcome to all who are taking part in this service, especially to the families and friends of the ordinands.

Please take time before the service to pray for the ordinands and their families, and for the parishes in which they will serve.
