Living God, draw us deeper into your love; Jesus our Lord, send us to care and serve; Holy Spirit, make us heralds of good news. Stir us, strengthen us, teach and inspire us to live your love with generosity and joy, imagination and courage; for the sake of your world, and in the name of Jesus our Lord.

Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who sin against us. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power and the glory are yours now and for ever. Amen.

Our Diocesan Vision 2026 Prayer: Heavenly Father, we embrace your call for us to make disciples, to be witnesses, to grow leaders and inspire children and young people. Give us the eyes to see your vision, ears to hear the prompting of your Spirit and courage to follow in the footsteps of your Son, our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with us all evermore. [July 2021]
