1 Calendar of Intercessions Trinity Transfiguration 2017

2 Welcome to this edition of the prayer diary, following Trinity Sunday and running until the Feast of the Transfiguration. There are now two Rochester cycles of prayer parishes and extra-parochial. This is an attempt to be a little more even handed with the additional groups who are prayed for as the year turns, and to include our church schools in our prayers. As usual, it s a sizable document but designed to be quick and clear to read, and also to leave space for your own notes. Of course, you do not have to print it all out at once, and you re welcome to reformat it, if you wish (a Word version is available from my blog, see website below). Sunday entries are designed to look at some of the bigger pictures in our Diocese sometimes geographical (deaneries, archdeaconries, link dioceses) sometimes issues or activities (Vocations Sunday). If there is an aspect of diocesan life that you d like included on a Sunday, do let me know. These are followed through the week by daily prayers from all over the diocese, and across the Anglican Communion, including the calendar of saints and other worthy people. Finally, there is space in the daily entries for you to note any prayer requests that have been made to you or your parish, or any special interests you want to remember in your prayers. Please contact me with any comments or suggestions bishopscourt@rochester.anglican.org or I will also be pleased to provide large print copies to any who would find that helpful. The calendar is published on the Diocesan website, and also on where you can find the next quarter s intercessions (hopefully) as this quarter starts to come to an end.

3 Sunday 11 June (Barnabas the Apostle) Trinity Sunday Isaiah , 27-end Psalm 8 2 Corinthians end Matthew end Schools Festival June Church Schools Celebration The education teams of the Diocese and Rochester Cathedral will work together with the aim of creating 4 days which the year 6 children in our church schools will remember for a long time to come. We aim to provide a memorable time of worship which will help children as they prepare to move on to a new secondary school and a space in which they be thankful for how well their Church of England primary school has equipped them for their life s journey. In the morning, the pupils take part in a range of activities which feed into the afternoon worship which is a Eucharist led by Bishop James or Bishop Rod. Please pray For pupils and their helpers - that they will feel that God has blessed them during their time at the Cathedral For all those who contribute to the days that God will bless their gifts in his service For our schools as they begin to conclude the year. For those moving on to new schools in the autumn. Northern California - (VIII, The Episcopal Church) The Rt Revd Barry Beisner

21 Sunday 23 July Kondoa Trinity 6 Genesis a Psalm , [or ] Romans Matthew , (Proper 11) This fledgling Diocese, one of the four linked with our own Diocese, is blessed with clergy who have powerful faith and love for each other and for us. All who come into contact with them will say that that we receive from them more than we could possibly give, it is truly a privilege to know them and to work with them. The Diocese is very poor (even for Tanzania) and so nearly all the parishes are unable to pay a parish share to the Diocese, this leaves the Diocese with negligible internal funding. Staff are either unpaid or paid by others and there is little infrastructure. Theological training is a priority for clergy who are working in an evangelical Diocese in a largely Muslim area. This will also allow the Bishop to start to build a staff structure that will sustain the Diocese into the future. On top of the everyday poverty, there was a drought last year and again this year, but even worse. Please pray for the education of the clergy; for long term food security for all; for those who have been impacted by the drought; for all the plans and projects underway to build the church; the sustainability of the Diocese and for the Bishop s sabbatical. Hearts of generosity are needed as the Diocese is so poor and yet has so much work to do. Please also thank God for the many blessings and encouragements that this relationship brings and for the way in which the many parish and school links are developing. Please pray for all those who are visiting Kondoa this year and also for those who will be hosting us. Diocese of Kondoa: The Rt Rev Given Gaula, Bishop. Osun North East - (Ibadan, Nigeria) The Rt Revd Humphery Olumakaiye
