Autumn Programme
Let Us Pray
Worship, Prayer and Christian Formation at Ely Cathedral: Autumn 2026
View our Autumn programme bookletA former Archbishop of Canterbury, William Temple, once said:
when I pray, coincidences happen; when I don’t, they don’t.
This is a reminder to us as Autumn approaches, with its focus on creation, fairtrade, black history, harvest and remembrance, that while working and campaigning for justice is an imperative for discipleship, so too is prayer.
Let us go into this season looking to see where God is at work in the world around us, participating as and where we are able to do so, but always praying ‘your Kingdom come, your will be done’.
Prayer for the Season
O God of love, we ask you to give us love,
love in our thinking, love in our speaking,
love in our doing,
and love in the hidden places of our souls;
Love of those with whom we find it hard to bear;
and love of those who find it hard to bear with us;
Love of those with whom we work, and love of those with whom we take our ease;
that so at length we may be worthy to dwell with you,
who are eternal love.
Amen.
