Diocese of Cape Town Prayers for Parishes in the Archdeaconries of Athlone and The Waterfront With the Chaplaincies in the Diocese January, 2021 Christmas/Epiphany

Next month (February, 2021) our prayers for the Diocese of Cape Town will focus on the Archdeaconries of Rondebosch and Groote Schuur, as well as The Diocesan Office. Please submit your prayer intentions to me at [email protected] by 20 January for inclusion.

Wishing you and your loved ones peace, love, joy and good health through the year and may this year bring universal happiness, peace and justice to our

troubled world.

Bob Nations shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn. They shall bring gold and frankincense, and shall proclaim the praise of the LORD. (Isaiah 60:3, 6b)
