WITHAMSIDE UNITED PARISH

MONTHLY CALENDAR FOR PRAYER

Persevere in prayer, with minds alert

and with thankful hearts

Colossians 4:2

I COMMEND this revised prayer calendar to you for use in your daily prayers.

It is not offered as a fully comprehensive guide but as a means of stimulating us to hold our whole parish in loving prayer before our Heavenly Father.

Feel free to adapt it to your own patterns of praying. Thank you for your partnership in this vital work.
