Almighty God, thank you for your generous love. We pray for your church and all who serve you including Michael, our Presiding Bishop; Melissa, our Bishop Provisional; Phil, our bishop-elect; Joseph our vicar; and Carola and Mark, our sabbatical presiders. We lift up the St. Hilda St. Patrick bishop’s committee and our many volunteers. Guide your church through these times of change.
Dear Lord Jesus, deliver us.
