A prayer for vacancy
Heavenly Father, Good Shepherd of all,
we give you thanks and praise
that your call to this ministry has been answered.
Holy Spirit, encourage and inspire Claire

open our arms and our hearts
that she might find a warm welcome;
and guide us all to nurture each other
as we journey together with Christ.
Amen
