Prayer for Growth: God of Mission, who alone brings growth to your church, send your Holy Spirit to give vision to our planning, wisdom to our actions, joy to our worship and power to our witness. Help our church to grow in numbers and in spiritual commitment to you and in service to our local community. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
