Message from our Vicar


 

O heavenly Father, you have filled the world with beauty:  Open our eyes to behold your gracious hand in all your works; that, rejoicing in your whole creation, we may learn to serve you with gladness; for the sake of him through whom all things were made, you Son Jesus Christ our Lord.  Amen.  (Book of Common Prayer)
