Following last week’s sad news of Bishop Andrew’s terminal cancer diagnosis, the Bishop’s Leadership Team has organised a Day of Prayer for Bishop Andrew at Guildford Cathedral on Monday 23 February from 12 noon to 10:00pm.
All are welcome and encouraged to join us at any stage during the day, for as long as you are able to stay. Please do circulate this invitation to all your congregations and encourage them to attend, and if they cannot attend in person then to join in the prayer from home or work. In the Cathedral, there will be opportunity for silent prayer, to pray with others, or to light a candle.
You are warmly invited to Choral Evensong at 5:30pm, when the Diocesan family will join together and pray in particular for Bishop Andrew and his family. After Evensong, there will be an opportunity, for those who wish, to light a candle and to share in the ministry of laying on of hands and anointing. Teams from each deanery will be present throughout the day to welcome people and to pray with them, and the day will finish with Night Prayer, which will begin at 9:45pm and end at 10:00pm.
