Collect:
Risen Christ,
your wounds declare your love for the world
and the wonder of your risen life:

to risk ourselves for those we serve,
to the glory of God the Father. Amen.

A Message from Karen Cowgill – I was overwhelmed by the support and love shown to me as I was licensed as a Reader. Thank you to those able to attend the service, and for all the cards, gifts, and good wishes I have received. I would like to especially thank my friends at St John’s for the beautiful flowers and generous gift. The encouragement and support of everyone throughout my training contributed to my successful completion of the course. I am looking forward to serving God and all of you through my new ministry.
