This easy-to-use, practical resource provides parish and school leaders with forty-seven prayer services designed to address the most common needs of the liturgical year. Following a simple, consistent format, this book requires little to no preparation, allowing any staff member, volunteer, or committee to lead your group in prayer. Perfect for monthly meetings, this resource offers a variety of prayer services to fit the liturgical calendar, several of which also apply to common parish gatherings, situations, and circumstances.
Each prayer service follows a basic structure which includes a reading from scripture, intercessory petitions, a concluding prayer, and either a well-known group prayer or a parting blessing. Prayer services are provided for the beginning and end of the school year, for before sporting events, for members who are sick or have died, for electing new leadership, for times of discernment, for meetings with liturgical ministers, and many more! A wonderful gift for clergy and pastoral ministers, this book will ease the minds, and lessen the workloads, of those responsible for leading prayer in your community.
Prayer Services are provided for:
“Michael Cymbala’s work is grounded in basic liturgical prayer and adaptable. It respects the core role of Scripture as we seek to be present to key moments in the flow of our parish and school lives. Moreover, his work’s simple directness should inspire others to adapt and create short prayer services not only for parish and school but for family gatherings. I recommend this book!”—Michael H. Marchal, St. Xavier High School, Teacher and worship preparer at Bellarmine Chapel Community in Cincinnati, Ohio
