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. Williamson 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.","brand":"Jeremiah Williamson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47356954378495,"sku":"9780898699210","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0781\/9424\/5887\/files\/9780898699210.jpg?v=1771562406","url":"https:\/\/churchpublishing.org\/products\/9780898699210-praying-the-scriptures","provider":"Church Publishing Incorporated","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
