Appointment of our next Diocesan Bishop
Please remember in your prayers those involved in discerning our next Bishop.
Please use the following prayer for all involved in this task.
Living God,
you walk with us in all seasons of life
calling us to follow you with joy, hope and love
as we share in your work of renewing the world;
give us humility and discernment to hear your voice,
that those discerning their calling
and all involved in our bishop search
may be encouraged in your ways
and open to your creative Spirit. Amen.
