Book Description
This collection of responsive prayers is based on the Revised Common Lectionary, Year A, as is perfect for clergy and lay leaders alike. Like every collection of prayers written by David Sparks, Responsive Prayers, Year A offers an entire year’s worth of responsive prayers that can be adapted to a variety of settings and circumstances. This collection includes full prayers for the Call to Worship, Opening Prayer, Words of Assurance, Offering Prayer, and Commissioning, as well as an outline for the Pastoral Prayer, for each Sunday of the lectionary year, plus Holy Thursday and Good Friday. Some Sundays include additional prayer options. Responsive Prayers Year A also includes a scripture index. Authorization to reproduce and freely adapt all the prayers in the collection for use in worship in the local congregation is included with the purchase of the book. Praise for volumes in the previous series. "An eminently useful collection of worship resources tailored for the lectionary year." – The United Church Observer "These are truly wholesome and appropriate responsive prayers that engage the pray-ers… [They are] composed with an eye to the contemporary religious climate and are truly “about us” and our beliefs as a worshipping body of Christ’s faithful." – review posted on Amazon.com
