From the Bishop The Right Reverend Damien Mead Trinity-tide 2018 Dear Reader, This cycle of prayer covers the period for the Church Year 2018/2019 beginning on Advent Sunday 2018 and ending on the Sunday next before Advent Sunday 2019. I would like to thank Br Juniper, CGS., Fr Jonathan Munn and the Archdeacon, for their invaluable help in compiling this year’s cycle. I would also like to draw your attention to the special dates listed inside the back cover. Comments and requests for the 2019-2020 Prayer Cycle may be sent to me at the address below. Every care has been taken in the formation of this prayer cycle but it should also be checked against the Diocesan & Provincial Websites for accuracy especially in the names of clergy and bishops. Any major changes to the Intercession list will be made to the version reproduced online on the Diocesan Website / prayer page.
