Bill & Anna Quelch
Barbara and Clare attended their visitation service last month to be sworn in as churchwardens for another year. We were invited to join in the following prayer, along with the other churchwardens attending; praying for our congregations:
Merciful God, you have called us to be members of Christ and of his Church in this Diocese. May we and our congregations reach up to your throne in adoration and worship; in to one another in love and fellowship; and out to the world in evangelism and care; through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen
