Loving Father in Your love for us You sent Your Son to be our Shepherd and Lord. You continue to show Your love for us by sending us pastoral workers to care for Your people.
Bless our ministers as they take up this responsibility among the people of this community. Let Your Spirit guide them in teaching and guiding us, and in leading us in worship and prayer.
Father, we ask this prayer through Jesus Christ Your Son in the love of the Holy Spirit, on God forever and ever.
