Dear Lord, we thank You, for You continue to call faithful labourers into Your harvest. Bless all whose names we receive today that they may be led to consider the call to serve You as future pastors and deacons. Grant them the wisdom to understand Your will for their lives. Strengthen our congregation in its responsibility to support and encourage those who desire to serve as workers in your Church. And, if it be Your will, lead them to respond to the call to full-time service in Your church, to the glory of Your Holy Name, and for the expansion of Your Kingdom; for You alone are the Lord, and with the Father and the Holy Spirit are one God, now and forever. Amen
