Everyone then who hears these words of mine and acts on them will be like a wise man who built his house on rock.

Matthew7:24

Gracious God,

we thank you for ten years of worship in this place.

We thank you for all who have offered their ministry in love and service.

As we celebrate we ask you to give us a renewed vision of the task that lies ahead and the faith and will to carry it out.

Open our eyes that we may discern new ways of connecting, the courage to lay aside those things that hinder and the wisdom to embrace the new.

We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen
