Pew Sheet – 10th May 2026

A Prayer for the Selection Process:

Almighty God, guide the Episcopal Electoral College with your holy wisdom. Grant them discernment to choose a shepherd who will lead with love, feed your flock, and uphold the faith of this Church and Diocese.

A Prayer for the Diocese:

Lord Jesus Christ, Shepherd of the Sheep, we commit this diocese into your hands during this time of vacancy.

Strengthen the clergy and laity to carry on your work, and prepare us to receive the one you are choosing to lead us.

May I, on behalf of PMVC, who had the privilege of sharing in morning worship with you this morning express our deepest thanks to you and the Rev Dring for your welcome and kind remarks.

Please extend to all the parishioners and the ladies who provided such a magnificent array of food, our

appreciation and grateful thanks. We were totally surprised by the beautiful cake and what a treat to have Joyce cut it. That was a very special and thoughtful moment.

I would be delighted if you would convey my remarks to your congregation.

I wish you and all at St Mary’s, Gods richest blessings in the future.

Kindest Regards

Donald Keys
