Morning Prayer

Morning Prayer is held every morning at Liverpool Cathedral, with the next service in the Lady Chapel on Monday 26 October at 08:30. It's a simple service of prayer, the kind of thing the Cathedral runs every morning and evening, in common with Christians across the world. The format is straightforward: giving thanks to God for the day to come and the day that's past, and reading passages from the Bible.

If you're more of a music person, there's a sung counterpart called Evensong, which the Cathedral describes as one of the most distinctive and beautiful parts of its worship. That's the choir singing psalms, the ancient hymns of Israel, and songs drawn from the life of Christ, with a particular focus on his mother Mary. Between the two, you've got the quiet, spoken prayer of the morning and the choral tradition of the evening.

There are a couple of ways to get involved beyond just turning up. You can submit prayer requests through the Prayer for Liverpool website, and the Cathedral offers digital giving if you want to contribute. It's also a registered charity, number 1205970.

So, if you're around the city on Monday morning and fancy a quiet start, Morning Prayer is in the Lady Chapel at 08:30.
