Additions to future issues
The Cycle of Prayer for March will include the parishes in Deaneries Nos 4 (Westminster St
Marylebone) and 5 (Hackney). If any parish or other institution in those deaneries has a specific
request for prayer, or other information it wishes to add, every attempt will be made to include
this with the appropriate entry in the Cycle of Prayer. Please forward details to the Editor no
later than 31st January. Similarly, details for April (Deaneries Nos 6 & 7) should be forwarded
by 29th February.

Alternatively, if there is a special event in your deanery, parish or institution on a specific date in
a month when it would not normally come up for prayer, this may also be included in the Cycle
of Prayer if space permits. In such a case, please forward details to the Editor no later than the
10th of the previous month.
