Diocesan and Anglican Cycle of Prayer 2009-10

windowCycle of Prayer through February 2010

Prayers for the Anglican Communion are provided in the official Anglican Cycle of Prayer.

With great thanks from the Diocese to the following parish administrators who haven taken on the task of providing us with the Cycle of Prayer:  Mary Dail, Michael Vreeland, Kathrine Ebert and Bill Doggett

The committee felt that it was important for parishes to be remembered in prayer on the Sunday closest their patronal festival. Consequently, the distribution of the cycle is not always even. We hope that the parishes of the diocese will find this an opportunity to enrich their connections to the congregations for whom they pray, rather than a burden.
