Creator God,
Thank you for St Mary, Jersey Deanery and its Clergy: Kirsty Allan. Lord, we pray that we can be servant hearted people spreading your love and light and that in all that we do and say, our actions can be Christlike. We pray that as we bless others, they come to know more of you. May all who enter our church feel welcomed and included. We ask that all parts of the community can work together so that our parish reflects a family made up of all generations. We may be the smallest parish on the island, but pray we can be known as the parish with a big heart, showering those in need of any kind with compassion and kindness. Build your kingdom here.
