Monthly diocesan prayer with Bishop Mark

Over the course of the next year, the Diocese of Manchester invites you to walk with us in prayer as we champion hope during this time of transformation and uncertainty.

As the diocese prepares for new deanery arrangements and reflects on the proposal for Mission Communities, we have a wonderful opportunity to underpin the journey with prayer.

Join Bishop Mark Davies on the last Thursday of every month for a live prayer gathering focusing on the change and transformation of the diocese. 

As we move forward over the coming months, it will be as important as ever to lay our thoughts before God. To take a moment to rest and reflect on how far we have come and surrounding the future in prayer. 

These sessions will take place at 16.30-17.00 on the Manchester Diocese - Join us in Prayer Facebook page.
