Time of Prayer
led by Simon King
God our Father, you have welcomed each one of us in
Jesus and called us to be his body at Whitefriars; send
us your Holy Spirit at this time of uncertainty and
change, to fill us with vision, energy and faithfulness in
prayer, that we may be true to our calling to bring new
life to our community. Guide with your heavenly wisdom
those who are to choose a new Incumbent for this parish,
that the one who we receive may be a wise and gentle
shepherd of your people: ready to serve us with joy, to
build us up in faith and to lead us by example in loving
obedience to your Son, our Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen.
