Collect:
GOD our rock and refuge, we thank YOU for the gift of the Church. We praise you for the diverse ministries carried out through the Body of CHRIST, by the empowerment of GOD the HOLY SPIRIT. We pray that the ordained servants of yours be faithful and truthful to their commitment in their service, to the congregation. Let these your servants be watchful to live as CHRIST lived so that they can be a Good Shepherd to their flock in guiding and guarding in all their endeavours. Let their ministry bring Glory to YOUR holy name, through JESUS CHRIST our LORD.
Amen.
