The Diocesan Cycle of Prayer is the means whereby all the people of the Diocese, and of the Church in Scotland and further afield, can be covered by prayer each month. The Cycle is observed by churches in the Diocese, but please also consider making it a cornerstone of your own daily devotions.
You may also wish to refer to the Anglican Cycle of Prayer and the Porvoo Churches Invitation to Prayer.
