Prayer for Lay People

Lord, we thank you for the lay people who serve in our churches across the Diocese and for the many and diverse gifts that you have given to them.We pray for your blessing on them, that all people may discern where and how you are asking them to serve and that such service should be to the glory of your name.

May each person in whatever role they serve come to know your love, feel the love and support from those around them and in turn show that love to others in our churches and beyond.

We ask this in the name of your Son, our Saviour, Jesus Christ.

Amen.
