You are encouraged to put any welcome messages that you have in the Zoom chat, these will then be collected and presented to Alex. Introduction Welcome to this service, which marks both a new sphere of ministry in the life of your new Rector and a new chapter in the worship and life of this parish. It is fitting, therefore, that we come together with the Bishop and representatives of our partner churches to offer ourselves afresh to God for the work of the Gospel. We approach God most appropriately at the beginning of worship in praise and confession. The new Rector designate is then introduced and presented to the Bishop and people. The Declaration of Assent and the Oaths to the Sovereign and Diocesan Bishop are required by law and give us assurance of the trustworthiness of his ministry. A reading from God’s word to us from the Bible is followed by a sermon, in which the same word is given relevance for this time and place.
