Collect
Everloving God,
you called your servant Marianne Williams
to advance the early New Zealand mission
by her determination and ability;
give us patience and unwavering courage
to put all our talents at your service
and to make your love known;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
Prayer
Our Father
hallowed be your name
on earth as in heaven.
God of work and rest and pleasure,
grant that what we do this week may be for us an offering
rather than a burden;
and for those we serve, may it be the help they need.
Amen.
