Almighty Father,
from whom every family
in heaven and on earth is named,
who has called us into the fellowship
of your Church;
grant, we pray,
that in all our parishes
we may fulfil the duties
and enjoy the privileges
of our spiritual homes.
And on those who offer themselves
for service, as verger in the house of God,
bestow the fullness of your grace;
that, united in love
to you and one another,
we may show forth your glory
and hasten the coming of your kingdom.
Through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
