Description

This book is the third and final volume of the Prayers to Share series. Based on the scripture readings from The Revised Common Lectionary, each book in the popular series offers church leaders an entire year's worth of responsive prayers for use in worship, and other church group settings. What better way to engage the congregation than through active, responsive participation in prayers throughout the service?

Editorial Reviews

Prayers to Share contains responsive prayers for each Sunday of the Church Year.

 

I can see leaders of worship, pastors, or lay members using this reference in different ways – from incorporating the set of prayers as printed to gaining inspiration from the words and making some changes to align the style for a personal reflection of the congregation. I especially found the theme and scripture index of great benefit and recommend Prayers to Share be included as a reference in church libraries.

Ishbel Dimson, Glad Tidings

Once again Sparks provides harried worship leaders with prayers for everything from service opening to commissioning.
