ISBN: 9780898699203.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Prayers of the People is the place where liturgy is most likely to lose energy. Of course, that should not be the case; it is a great privilege to offer our prayers to God as a congregation. But the Book of Common Prayer provides a limited number of forms and, although it also provides guidelines for composition of original prayers, many parishes have prayed just a couple of the forms over and over again for 35 years.\n\nWilliamson began to compose these new prayers for his parish, posting them on a blog as they were used each Sunday. He discovered in the process that the congregational urge to move beyond the Prayer Book’s six forms is a common one. These new prayers bring freshness to corporate prayer, carrying the lectionary-based themes of the hymns, lessons, and sermon into the service, creating a fresh and focused worship experience.\n\nLectionary based prayers in a call-and-response format\nWritten in language that is fresh and well-crafted\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Church Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45119008014389,"sku":"ByrdShop_0898699207","price":94.34,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780898699203_19dc726d-a421-4d81-8109-f6fcada0dd67.jpg?v=1781371419","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/praying-the-scriptures-litanies-for-sunday-worship-9780898699203","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
