Diocesan Prayer Diary: for the parishes of Norwich East Deanery. The Sunday prayer:-

Jesus, receive our love and worship.
Show us how to give you what we have,
for nothing is too big or too small for us to offer, or for you to use;
for you live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit, one God for ever.
