Resources - Prayers
Please see the page of general concepts and the very limited copyright issues here.
I have listed here a wide range of prayers that we use. You will note that I have taken ideas from all over the place including the Celtic tradition. In all cases I have needed to make the language much simpler. Please do adapt these as you require
The main categories are:
At the start of the meeting
In the Beginning. A declaration using a candle, a Bible and a cross. God creates light, talks to us, and died for us. The page has two versions of this.
Lord Jesus be with us - a simple introductory prayer.
Lighting a candle - a prayer that reminds us of the Trinity.
Lord Jesus help us to... - a responsive introductory prayer.
Praising God - another starting praise prayer with a presentation.
Praise
You did that for me! A responsive prayer (PDF) Accompanying Presentation (PowerPoint)
Nothing is too hard for God. A responsive prayer
Thank you Jesus. A responsive prayer of thanks ending with a simple blessing. The prayer (PDF) The presentation (PowerPoint)
Thank You (PDF) - A responsive prayer thanking God for Creation. There is no presentaion for this but it would be very easy to create a slide show to match the words, or use photos or slides, or even some tangible items to demonstrate the words.

Jesus Saviour and King - a responsive shout of praise!
Nothing can separate us from the love of God!
