God our Creator,
You call your people to be a sign of your life in the world.
Make the churches of this parish, places of holiness and hospitality.
Strengthen your people to share your love.
Give us courage and vision,
trusting in your constant presence and following the examples of
St Alban, St Andrew, and St Mark.
So we pray in the name of Jesus our Saviour and Companion.
Amen
