Praying together through Advent

During Advent, we are encouraging the whole diocese to come together in prayer as we seek to grow as Kingdom People.

This special month of prayer will sit alongside the prayers offered in our usual prayer diary. Each week we will focus on one of the four elements of our church life which were highlighted in our recent open conversations as essential to growing as a healthy and sustainable Church:

• Worshipping God creatively,
• making disciples,
• sharing hope
• transforming communities.

Reflections for each week have been written by Bishop Martin and Claire Lording (Vicar of Pershore and Chair of the House of Clergy) and alongside the prayers are some suggestions for action.

Please join us in this dedicated period of prayer for the future life of our diocese.
