Parish Prayer for Our Time of Search
Wise Father, patient Son, ever-present Holy Spirit,
we, the Search Committee and members of St. Barnabas,
come to you with open minds and seeking guidance.
Give us the ability to follow the path you have created for us.
Guide us to the person you have chosen to lead our parish.
We ask all this through the power of the Trinity.
Amen. (written by our Search Committee, Dec. 2007)

Guidance Prayer for New Ministry
O God, you know us better than we know ourselves. Guide us in our search for a new rector. Empower each one of us to use our unique ministries, to share openly and honestly our thoughts, to respect the opinions of others, and to encourage humility, patience and joy. Instill in us a vision of the Church’s family; that guided by your Holy Spirit we will be united in love and joyfully accomplish this mission, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
