Diocesan Day of Prayer - 25/6 September 2024

Wednesday 25 - Thursday 26 September 2024, 12 noon - 12 noon

On behalf of the diocesan team, thank you so much to all those who took part in our 9th Day of Prayer, when every slot was filled, and every deanery was prayed for during the 24-hours; with the Cathedral’s sessions held via Facebook and two in-person meetings in parish churches.

The opening session was led by Bishop Matthew and the closing session by Bishop Michael, live from his pilgrimage with Cathedral staff and volunteers.

We were delighted to be supported by diocesan departments, the Mothers’ Union and by staff and friends of Lichfield Cathedral; as well as four members of two of our link dioceses.

We are very grateful to those who volunteered to keep prayer rising throughout the night; and, even though the early hours are not the most popular, we are always looking out for ‘night owls’ to support us!

As part of the evaluation process, we look forward to hearing about the impact the Day of Prayer has had across the diocese – please email Denise Keen by Friday 25th October, with your thoughts and experiences and do continue to let us know of answers to prayer; and suggestions for future events.

If your deanery was unable to engage this time, we would also value your feedback as to how we might accommodate your prayer needs and encourage you to join us in the future.

As soon as a date is set for next year’s Day of Prayer, we will advertise it in the Bulletin.
