3 Introduction In this worship guide you will find a number of different services you could use throughout the 24 hours of the Diocesan Day of Prayer. Beginning with midday Communion on Friday 17 November and ending with the programme for the event in Faversham on Saturday 18 November, this selection is designed for you to use in whatever way suits your plans for the day.

If you re praying on your own you can still use these - why not read the plain text in your head and the bold bits out loud?

Therefore God has highly exalted him, and bestowed on him the name above every name. That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth; nd every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
