The service takes place in the Church of St Michael and All Angels, Welshampton at 2:30pm.  We wish her every success and blessing as she begins her ministry in Shropshire.

It is really important that, during our time of interregnum,

we pray regularly for our Church and for the appointment of our next Vicar. You may wish to use this prayer:

God our Father,
you have welcomed each one of us in Jesus
and called us to be his body in this place.
Send us your Holy Spirit,
at this time of uncertainty and change,
to fill us with vision and energy;
make us faithful in prayer and worship,
that we may be true to our calling
to bring new life to our community.
Guide with your heavenly wisdom
those who are to choose a new Incumbent for this parish,
that the one whom we receive
may be a wise and gentle shepherd of your people:
ready to serve us with joy, to build us up in faith,
and to lead us by example in loving obedience to your son,
our Saviour, Jesus Christ. 
Amen.
