2009 Diocesan Prayer Calendar

This 29th edition of the Diocesan Prayer Calendar continues the tradition started in 1981 by the then Spiritual Life Committee. The purpose is to draw us together as a Diocese by remembering each congregation on a specific Sunday along with diocesan ministries, our sister and brother members of the Anglican Communion, and countries throughout God’s creation from the World Council of Churches Ecumenical Prayer Cycle.

Lord, grant that as we draw closer to you, we may
Grow nearer to each other and in deeper
service to your world, through
Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
