Most services or prayers are for use at any time of the year – eg Night Prayer; a prayer for those who have died – but at times we include some that are relevant to a particular season.
Prayers when someone has died
The death of someone near to us is always a difficult time: you might find the use of some of these prayers helpful. https://www.bodicotechurch.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Prayers-for-those-who-have-died-and-those-who-mourn.pdf

Night Prayer (also called Compline)
This is a service of quietness and reflection at the end of the day. https://www.bodicotechurch.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Compline.pdf
Spiritual Communion
When being present at a celebration of the Eucharist is absolutely impossible, this act of prayer and meditation can provide the means by which you can associate yourself with the Eucharistic Action and open yourself to God’s grace and blessing. https://www.bodicotechurch.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Spiritual-Communion.pdf
