Diocesan Calendar and Prayer Diary

January 2008 – June 2008

Download the latest calendar in MS Word format

The Diocese is united in daily prayer and worship and this is a basis of our common life and mission. Mutual prayer and support must surely be very high on our agenda and this publication is offered only as a guide and may certainly be supplemented by other lists.

Information regarding Chaplaincies is as shown as in the 2007 Year Book.

Calendar

The Liturgical Calendar is that shown in Common Worship. Lesser Festivals and commemorations may be observed according to local custom. Some particular commemorations have been added which are of significance in various parts of the Diocese.

The Daily Eucharistic Lectionary week (DEL) is noted each Monday.

Daily Prayer

Information is given to allow for each chaplaincy and congregation in the diocese to be remembered as well as the nations and our ecumenical links.

The daily requests of the Anglican Cycle of Prayer and the weekly requests from the Porvoo Cycle (marked **) are also included. Both are available on the internet and from Church House Bookshop, Great Smith St, London SW1P 3NZ.

SUNDAY INTERCESSIONS should, by tradition, include prayer for Bishop Geoffrey and the local head of State by name. In addition, prayers may also include Bishop David (the Suffragan Bishop) and, among the heads of other states, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the leaders of those other countries whose citizens may belong to the congregation.
