Give to this church, O God,
a daring faith and a vision for the future,
that guided by your courage we may
share your love with all who worship here,
welcome in Christ’s name all who turn to us for help
and see the Spirit’s guidance for our future ministry.
We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ our Saviour. Amen.
