our wills to love your goodness and your glory in Jesus Christ our Lord. AMEN Readings:

Holy God, we see your glory in the face of Jesus Christ: may we who are partakers at his table
reflect his life in word and deed, that all the world may know his power to
change and save. This we ask through
Jesus Christ our Lord. AMEN We pray this week for
Christopher our Bishop and for Christopher and Richard his suffragans for our Churchwardens and PCC as they
try to discern God’s plan for the future of the parish and plans for the
appointment of a new Rector for the Centre

care many ways for all who are preparing for
