Reading this week's prayers is David Reed. David says "No-one is more surprised than me to have got ordained this year. I became a Christian by accident shortly after getting married and since then Jesus has blown up my entire life. I spent the early part of my career in London working as a charity CEO, and decided to apply some of those skills to my local church in Hamworthy, which is where a call to ministry slowly developed. The formation journey since then has been amazing, and I am so excited to now be serving in the beautiful parish of Corfe Mullen, which has given us the most extraordinary welcome as a family."
