SUNDAYS

For each Sunday, we follow a well-established pattern:

 First are intercessions from the Porvoo website – www.porvoocommunion.org. The Porvoo Declaration commits the churches which have signed it to “share a common life” and “to pray for and with one another.”  Second are intercessions from the Anglican Cycle of Prayer, available at www.anglicancommunion.org.  Thirdly, we pray for our Link Diocese of Winchester.  Fourthly, we pray for churches, people, schools and organisations from the Newcastle Diocesan Year Book, including Church Schools, where possible, on the same day as the parish of which they are part.

WEEKDAYS

The pattern is similar on weekdays, but without the Porvoo Communion:

 Firstly, dioceses from the Anglican Cycle of Prayer.  Secondly, for our Link Diocese of Winchester.  Thirdly, parishes, churches, schools and other groups and areas of work from our own Diocese of Newcastle.  On Thursdays, we pray particularly for the unity of the Church

We pray for our Link Dioceses as follows: Botswana during January, April and October. Møre during March, June and September. Winchester during May, August and November.

The Deaneries are incorporated in the Prayer Diary in such a way as to include the Benefices (with names of ordained and lay ministers) and also, for benefices with more than one church, the constituent churches, in order that every congregation – and the local community in which it is set - can be remembered at least once during the year.

I try to mark important days in the life of the Diocese (e.g. Diocesan Synods, Institutions and Licensings, ecumenical occasions) with a special note, but can only do so if I have the information early in the previous month. Please don’t hesitate to send me information and prompts in good time.
