Heavenly Father, we thank you for the ministry of Tracey,

our previous Rector, as we pray your presence and blessing upon her.

We ask now 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.

Lord Jesus, guard and grow this Benefice as we serve you together in this period without a Vicar.

Please guide those who are seeking the right Rector for us, and those who are seeking the right Benefice for their ministry,

that together we may discover your way for the future and see your kingdom grow.

Amen
